I find "banning" perfectly fine words, that everyone understands, because they offend some people / are used by some to offend people, utterly stupid. And it goes beyond words, such as what happened with VSCode's Santa Hat flamewar.

We are incredibly lucky to be a part of this miracle called life. We don't have much time here. It doesn't need to have a purpose, but if you do choose to have a purpose in life, it shouldn't be coming up with ways of "getting offended".

It makes sense to get offended by someone, but to get offended by this-month's-offending-word is a waste.

It's very sad that companies listen to and are afraid of the swarms of internet flamers that have nothing better to do with their time.
