I agree. We shouldn't be forced to use the terminology of the aggressors whenever we are attacked like this.

- mingus88 2y agoFunny though, this term is spread by the media. That’s how it becomes commonplace. Now the media is telling us we should stop using a term they popularized, by continuing to use the term in their headlines. Maybe if they just no longer used it, the problem would self-correct itself and we wouldn’t need to chastise ordinary people for using common language.
