    Those people are going to do the same thing regardless of what the word is. What you’re asking for is just to put it on the euphemism treadmill

      Oh, 100%. Shitty people will be shitty people, regardless of whatever words they use or targets they go after.

      I’m not saying no one should use the term. I just wanted to offer some perspective on how it isn’t as clear cut as a lot of people make it out to be, and there are legitimate reasons that a reasonable person might take offense to it.

      For the record, Jordan Peterson is not a reasonable person. He’s a drama stirring shithead attempting to project a very false sense of bravado.
