Can you avoid using the term 'triggering' please, it has connotations of shooting people. See how deep this rabbit hole goes...

  Linguistic meaning changes all the time without the world burning down, so I'm really curious what danger you think there is in this "rabbit hole". Or do you also oppose using "awful" to be a negative, because if we accept that, how far does the rabbit hole go? Look at how many words we use without these types of issues too! If you're worried about keeping up with a few intentional linguistic changes a year among many other natural ones, I'd be more concerned elsewhere.

    This is a good point. Language has original meaning and cultural meaning.
