> I reject the notion that anyone hearing or reading a word from this list could possibly experience anything properly categorized as "harm".
This is an absolutely absurd take.
The initiative is to remove words from official websites, not about making sure people never hear them. If you see negative language about your race/gender on your school website, you don’t think that’s gonna cause some anxiety? You don’t think that’s gonna make you wonder if you belong there? You don’t think that doubt will impair your ability to fully participate in that institution?
> This way you can search for infractions and more expeditiously accuse and eject your rivals (people whose work is better than yours).
How are you gonna play bully and victim in the same post? Pick a lane!
