Surprised that this comes with a list of banned words. I guess both sides are more similar than I thought...

There's a few people in here doing whataboutism like this. Where are you getting the idea that the "left" or whoever banned words in scientific articles?

Commenting the same thing all over the place is really tiresome. Try and actually participate.

I don't mean to refer to scientific articles specifically. Rather, it just seems to me that the left is usually the one coming up with lists of "bad words" (I believe it was Stanford? Some big university a few years back came up with a huge list of "potentially harmful" terms and alternatives you should say instead.) And the right usually gets mad about it, so I'm a little surprised to see them play the same game. It's not a good look (in my eyes).

Anyone is allowed to publish a list of "bad words". Did they force the CDC to retract 5 million perfectly good studies because they contained the words?
