That you think the phrase "cleanse unpublished manuscripts" is a purely factual statement, but "a sensitivity reader is someone who protects marginalized people from systemic oppression" is not, simply reveals your own politics.
Both are statements of fact and ideology. Both are deliberate framings meant to push a certain narrative.
"Cleanse" invokes ideas of removal and censorship, centering on specific outcomes.
"Protects" instead emphasizes the needs of marginalized groups, centering on intent.
Both are value-laden statements.
So let's not pretend one is more "objective" than the other.
