It's not "outrage culture", it's being considerate and thoughtful, which is something most of us practice every day.
You can frame it as "bowing down" either way. The other option is to "bow down" to those who do no want to change but have no good reasons beyond that it's what they are used to and, typically, negative partisanship (that on principle they object to anything promoted by the other side of the political divide, simply because). People need to find better arguments than emotionally & illogically driven defensiveness.
- collyw 6y agoIt is outrage culture. It wasn't a problem for decades and all of a sudden it is.
- polishdude20 6y agoI think the same argument can be had about the other side. People who push for changing words like this need to find better arguments that emotionally driven ones. The other option is to have a nuanced debate from both sides where one side isn't thought of as hateful and evil. One side is saying "hey this is a slippery slope" the other side is saying "no you're wrong and you're what's wrong with the world today". Also, where has my defensiveness been at all illogical or emotional? The arguments presented against doing this seem pretty sound from the people who can explain their reasons.
