Agreed, but for words like that to make such a shift, there was a period where the words were still super offensive and used anyways. And if we are more enlightened now, we should have less of these words going forward. Like I think we’ve largely stopped such a transformation of the word “retard(ed)”.

It was like 12 years ago I was looking at $10k new Kia rio.

Sure, but I don’t see why I have to be “racist” to want to talk about gain of function research and government coverups.

Seemed pretty obvious very early on. But nooo lab leak theory is “racist”.

Someone should be keeping a list
