Utilitarians should take into account all consequences, including the cost of creating incentives to become utility monsters.
I think there's probably an imbalance between the amount of effort people are expected to expend in not being offensive vs the amount of effort people are expected to expend in not being offended. I'm not sure where it comes from.
