I consider myself a very leftist liberal, and some of this list sounds fair.
Some of it reads like bad satire.
"Died by suicide" is somehow LESS trivial than "committed suicide"? "Blind studies" are somehow bad things now, rather than admirable things?
And some of it reeks of linguistic arrogance. People aren't going to say "relationship with an abusive person" when "abusive relationship" is both much shorter and IDENTICAL.
And the IRONY in not only wanting to police content with trigger warnings, but to police the usage of the phrase "trigger warning" itself. How is this NOT satire?
- piyh 4y agoI work at a company with what is basically a woke bot that will suggest corrections. Some like cakewalk I was glad to learn about the history, others like whitelist/blacklist are just because colors are used with no racist past. There's a nugget of good intention, and a load of newspeak happening.
- jdthedisciple 4y agoDoes it fulfill you working for such a project?
- piyh 4y agoI don't work on woke bot, I work on other backend projects that are many layers from any customer impact, but the hours are light and the pay is good.
