Can we just leave it at "allowlist/denylist is declarative terminology without any attached baggage, and declarative is always better"?

It's like the bathroom fearmongering... don't show your junk to people who don't want to see it, and wash your hands. Just be kind and be a decent human being.

But there is no baggage, and this attempt to police innocuous language based on someone's pet paranoias is bullying.
