    But why? Some people are still hurt by it’s usage, we have other words.

      Are people actually hurt by its usage or is it another case of “protecting” people who don’t really mind?

        I mean I know people hurt by it personally so I don’t use it, to each their own I guess. Surprised that’s a hot take though

          speaking about hot takes…. So Why are you still going on about the inconvenience of just changing words? Just learn new words and be done with it. Can’t be that hard. Kids can learn new words every day. I believe in you.

        I think about 5% of the time it’s someone who’s actually affected, and 95% of the time it’s performative moralising. Of course there’s no way of telling which time is which…
