Please explain "offensive term" a bit more clearly, I see two possible interpretations: #1 emotionally offended, and #2 considered as "military offensive weapons". If #1 then no, if #2 then yes.

Messed up in edit, option 4 was meant to be:

"predator drone is not an offensive term"

It is a subjective question and answer would depend on individual emotional/political/social sensibilities and priorities I suppose. If I have to pick one, I guess "emotionally offensive" would be close enough.

On second thought, quantification of opinions here may not be so crucial but rather views of others for terms like superpredator/predator drone would be informative.

Not as offensive as 'superprey' and 'prey drone' terms.

Thanks for the clarification.

Honestly, Im not sure if its offensive. Im all about saving lives, and at the same time, I think its a chickenshit way to fight when far too often, its innocent civilians that get killed and then the value of their lives is ignored because they were considered "collateral damage". Then we look at the survivors to those that are killed and wonder "why they hate us"?

I think the "drone" part itself is more offensive than either "predator" or "superpredator". Its like the status quo is so mentally ill that they genuinely believe they are doing the world good by putting drones that both kill and conduct surveillance, not just over enemy land, but our own as well. If their conclusion is "all people need to have all their human behaviors regulated by autonomous drones", then whether any person is truly innocent or is truly guilty, they are treated as if they are all guilty, and true innocence itself offers zero protections from their authority, and because so many people feel threatened, it undermines the concept of security.

Perhaps my own reaction of offense to the "drone" part comes not from the drone itself, but the ways in which the powers that be seek to abuse that power.

I find droning people offensive, I don't give a fuck what they call 'em.

[Dr.3D]

I suspect those being droned find those terms more offensive than those who are not being droned.

- Superpredator is a trigger word for me to go to Safe Space and watch Arnold kick some ass.

- Predator Drone = Danny Glover's acting in Predator 2

Now I feel as if this whole thread is a microagression.

Superpredator --> Watch Predator -- > Think about Danny Glover --> He was in Lethal Weapon --> And Gone Fishin' --> Joe Pesci was in lethal weapon AND Gone Fishing too --> Joe Pesci's voice is offensive to me --> I hate Joe Pesci for no reason and I think Danny Glover isn't very smart for no reason --> Hearing that dumb SOB yelling "Riggs" makes me want to punch faces --> Mel Gibson is "Riggs" --> Mel Gibson knows how to get drunk as a pig --> Lethal Weapon was a police state propoganda film --> That hurts my feelings and now my Safe Space has been violated!

Thread reported for being offensive.

Media tells me all males are natural predators that wish to subjugate and rape, and only via intense education and systems of control can males be stopped from destroying the world. Black males according to the crime stats act most violently of all male racial groups, therefore they would be according to modern day wisdom deemed super predators.

Good analysis.
