Oh yes I hate this. I saw a long argument either here or on Reddit where someone made the tired old "something #2: electric boogaloo" joke as has been done for many years but it set off an alarm because some cosplay commandos used that phrase themselves for an operation so it's forever off limits.
It's one of many similar cases. How weak it is to just give up ground like that.
