From an anthropological perspective, it’s fascinating how the weakest and most sensitive people possible are now the ones in charge of policing language. Talib was right about this, on a long enough timeline most things do become a dictatorship of the small minority.
I'm not the above commenter, but it's very surprising to me that people can undergo such serious harm just from reading phrases like "trigger warning" or "tarball"...
Or even the existence of languages with gendered nouns. Why are we coddling xenophobes who are afraid of Spanish grammar rules? IMO that's not a fear that is healthy or rational.
