There's a lot of fascinating psychological research done on how repetition influences belief.

I understand what you're saying, but I think there's a real danger here of an offended minority attempting to impose their will on a non-offended majority. Ie, does your right not to be offended "trump" the right of those who enjoy such things to continue to do so? And with the very greatest respect, I do suspect that you're in the minority in finding such things offensive.
