    this logic is so flawed honestly

    people can choose to “be hurt” by literally any word and it’s entirely subjective and ephemeral because what upsets them today may not tomorrow and what is ok changes just as easily

    word policing is just a losing battle no matter how you try and justify it and the massive sensitivity towards words just makes people look ridiculous
