"Pig butchering" is an awful phrase. I can't believe that anyone with a shred of decency used it. The people who were harmed are not pigs.
You below complaining about language sensitivity would probably be fine with calling rape, "slut reaming". Because, why not?
What we achieve by focusing on words as well as the substance of the problem is avoiding hideous insults and insensitivity toward people harmed by crime and abuse.
This isn't even hard people.
