It is harder to use the "A: I am offended.B:So what?" today. The more vocal proponents are not above going after you personally if you exhibit wrongthink.
That said, the robot example may end up being interesting. How far can this particular language purication can be taken?
- allan_s 6y agoI totally agree with you, we're replacing democracy by "power to the loudest". > How far can this particular language purication can be taken I'm not anti-american (damn I have to put this kind of disclaimer), but it will go as far as these american-culture-centered people will think X or Y go against their view. I think I understand more and more my Chinese friends who don't understand people who are trying to convince them "you're living in a dictatorship that's bad, see democracy is sooo good, why are you not listening to me", and they're just "I don't care, I don't understand why it's so much of an issue to you ?" and yes for robot, the more I think about it, the more I don't understand why that's not the first word to have been reviewed, because the very idea, popular conception of a robot is the humanoid-metal-thing doing your chores, you can't do closer to the meaning of "slave" they don't want to hear about !
