Regardless of "wokism," it might stop meaning from being transmitted to those who do find the term problematic.
Absurd or ridiculous both capture the same meaning without losing precision. And at this point, we can look at it more as a function of deprecated terminology - people don't listen to you and think you're a bad person if you use said terminology, they just think you're old.
However, to be clear, this is off-topic for the article at hand.
- yamtaddle 4y agoWorrying about something as mild as "crazy" is really, really niche. Maybe that'll change, but for 99% or more of the not-terminally-online crowd, nobody thinks a thing of it today. Even more so outside the US. I, for one, am overall skeptical that being very concerned about people using any term relating to a human malady or misfortune figuratively is a trend that will continue to flourish even to the extent that it has so far.
