Please no. We need to stamp out this notion of 'vulgarity' and normalize this vocabulary. People cower behind being offended by fictional incantations that supposedly anger nonexistent deities. We need to stop allowing people being offended by trivial things.

No one is cowering in offense by "enshittification," nor is anyone afraid that using the word will bring the wrath of deities.

If you're going to argue for normalizing this word, you need a better reason than it being edgy to the straw pearl-clutchers living rent free in your head.

It's not being edgy, that is literally the root of what makes vulgarity vulgarity. That and the bodily functions stuff. The former is fictional and the latter is natural. Oh no god is going to ruin our harvest because I asked him to damn everything. People being offended by 'shit' is stupid.

These people do literally believe that. They represent a sizable political faction in the United States.

best of luck with your mission. Meanwhile I simply want to convince companies to not make their products worse for short term profit.
