The inclusion of that word is extremely telling. Someone who thinks the word "boogeyman" is exclusionary or otherwise harmful is either completely unfamiliar with normal English usage, is not quite right in the head, or is attempting to enforce some kind of fringe agenda. Whichever one it is, they are not someone you want to hand control of your language over to.

Or at least, I can avoid using the software until Github or Reddit or somebody gets bullied into adding it to their site backend. Then things get awkward.
