I absolutely think there are some things as a species we should not put up with, racial supremacy hate speech being one of them. At the same time, because there is other content out there which some people dislike but which is not harmful, I wish we could stop worrying so much about what content ads are sitting next to.
Problem is people don't have a lot of control over their subconscious perceptions. The subtle ways that they'll remember two things being side by side and associating the two. This is why brands are careful about what content their ads are shown on.
Yeah I know. I wish our brains were less dumb.
