The person you're replying to is very kind and considerate.
They're not assuming people using the problematic terminology do so with the intention to harm. They are, however, mindful of its negative effects, hence the gentle reminder.
- systemvoltage 4y agoThe person I am replying to is very kind indeed. The rest of society obsessed with this political correctness madness are extremely hostile, engaging in shaming and generally have sadistic vibes of oppressing people with their moral superiority – which has zero basis except they discovered a new offending word to pile up on others. This needs to stop IMO.
- pygy_ 4y agoThe behavior you're describing exists, but I don't think what you are describing is a minority behavior, generally exhibited by people who often suffer directly from the use of said terminology. I don't condone violence, but anger is understandable in that case. Also, if an idea has some idiotic proponents doesn't mean it's inherently false. Minorities are in the process of gaining cultural power and influence, to the detriment of the majority. This is unpleasant when you are on the receiving side, but IMO necessary right now.
