I can see why people would find it offensive, but the joke is that the baby is fine afterward. Perhaps it's a satirical comment on how all circumcision is genital mutilation that people don't complain about because they 'get over it'?
Thing is the joke doesn't really work well because of the dialogue they gave Quentin, like complaining about Uma Thurman nagging about her character's name, despite the fact her name is revealed in the first half of the second movie and there would have been no reason for Uma Thurman not to know it from the start.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure Seth would claim it was satire. The irony here is that the OP is very quick to announce that they're offended at this portrayal of 'harmless' circumcision but then quickly defends the practice itself as being perfectly okay.
