Language is fluid and continuously evolving. imho any decent person will say "Yeah, I see the trouble with blacklist/whitelist", and if they're a techie, they'd also say "Yeah, allowlist/denylist is more descriptive and fits in well." I think any decent person will also stop short of officially recognizing The 29 Gender Pronouns from this week's trending tiktok and recognize there's a middle ground between wide cultural acceptance and letting people express themselves. Discrediting any language evolution as calling it the road to hell is just as silly as the (caricature of) the person getting upset at the cashier they've never met before because cashier didn't magically know their preferred 24th Form gender pronoun. A decent person understands some change is inevitable (especially if there's an uncomfortable historical context with the way things are now) while also moderating the amount of change. Basically, just be a decent, reasonable human who has some empathy for others. I hope we're not too far off the deep end from being reasonable.
