Interesting comment from over at ecosophia, regarding their use of alternate terms for the vaxx.
Interesting, just like the way 'vaxx' and 'jab' are also used, abeit in a more widespread manner. These 'non-words' then gain new meanings, tone, and subtexts, the same way how 'Let's Go Brandon' was imbued with its own Biden-related subtext.
I think it's interesting as it speaks to also denying the enemy the ability to define their cultural sovereign territory. If an institution can redefine a word's meaning at will to fit their agenda, then the next logical step is simply to stop using the term in any neutral or positive manner, in the manner they intend the word to be used in.
So one could logically say that "I'm not anti-vaxx, I'm anti-jab", which allows the reader/listener to discern their true motives as opposed to the attempts by the regime to label all opponents the same way (same with Black Lives Matters's insidious universality).

Why are so many of you saying foxes and vixens instead of vaccines and vaccinated? Are these words now owned by a particular ideology instead of existing for any of us to use in the dictionary?
vixen = vaccine
foxed= vaccinated
unfoxed = unvaccinated
Though initially done for levity and linked via animal terms, a second reading reveals that to be vaccinated is to be 'foxed', or 'tricked'.

methylethyl introduced them a few weeks back. I resisted at first but have mostly converted...
I think avoiding the word "vaccine" originally stems from folks on social media sites trying to avoid the censor bots. Some people also seem to be worried about being added to a list of undesirables by word-searching NSA/Google bots - which I suppose could be a thing.
I wonder if there might be something more to it though, more positive and connected to the subtle dimensions of words and meanings. The CDC definition of "vaccine" was actually changed so that these products would fit within it. It is, by and large, the terminology chosen, defined, and curated by the propaganda narrative. It is difficult to use the same language while having a very different idea of the underlying meanings, so I find vixen and fox useful in this regard, and I find that it changes the dynamic of the conversation in a similar way to consciously avoiding/creatively circumventing the use of profanity.
On the topic of forum peculiarities, I've for some time been meaning to ask what is the origin of the Color Adjective Animal signatures that many folks use here.

Following on Mark's comment, it's also a way to ridicule the whole circus that takes itself so seriously and in that way to further undermine the legitimacy of the 1984-speak.
