Social media blurs the lines and it makes it hard for anyone to understand reality versus fiction. It was probably the same when mass communication took off in the first place, but it's happening again. Any particular change in language like this seems like a small thing, but it's very hard for me to tell if those changes are actually being driven by an oppressed community who thinks such changes are important, or if they're coming from meaningless social media echo chambers. Latino versus Latinx is another example I struggle with. Should we modify an entire language due to some perceived sexism? Who is actually perceiving this sexism and is it the real voice of the community?
