Re: concern about the potential offensiveness of the words
On one side those who consider themselves "liberal" are often showing surprising intolerance of other views.
I read an article written by one of those blue hair, liberal, SJW snowflakes you mentioned in your post, a few days back.... They were claiming that you should ask permission from your baby to change its nappy (dyper for our colonial cousins) so not to upset them.... Its people who publish stuff like that who are part of the problem we have today with kids running feral and the opening of the ministry of jokes ( new speak - MinJO).
But ultimately our own fault in the IT world for making platforms like the internet accessible to the terminally stupid.
