"Current year" terms that piss you off

I saw a post about "21 sex workers died in 2023." Where to begin? I hate when people say X number of Y died in Z year. Okay, how many of X are there nationwide/worldwide? How did they die? And why should I give a damn?
I hate how intentionally vague "sex workers" is. Are we talking lazy firstworld camwhores that got hit by a bus? An abused OF model whose pimp-boyfriend finally beat her to death? A sex trafficking victim who was raped with chili peppers in a dirty thai hovel by johns until she died? What the fuck is a 'sex worker,' goddamn it.
 
This has probably been mentioned multiple times but for me it’s the word “oppression” or any similar words. I just can’t take anyone who says it or claims to be “oppressed” seriously because of how it’s been used these past years.

Pornography bad word censored for advertisers. Or, alternatively, porn is when empowering and you can not claim that when kiddie porn is also porn.
I also vaguely remember that the change was to help emphasise the 'abuse' component. Child pornography is 'just' pictures, CSAM is more humanising... in theory, anyway.
 
When people say "I noticed that you're gay" its like i noticed that you're gay mother fucker etc.
 
CSAM.
What's wrong with using "child pornography" as a term?
Because it's not necessarily pornography while still being illegal. It's a legal category.

I think either the DoJ or some anti-abuse group came up with it:
Pornography bad word censored for advertisers.
And that's probably why YouTubers use it.

But if you're drafting a legal filing concerning it, you're almost always going to be using "CSAM" as it is the proper category for it.

the term 'paramour' in so-called 'polyamorous relationships'. You mean to tell me that this is supposed to be an equal partnership between individuals but you're using a term that basically means 'side piece'. Make it make sense to me. Honestly a lot of the new 'queer culture' language confuses and pisses me off.
Also good job picking a word that connotes an illicit and clandestine sex partner.

I saw atleast Wikipedia use it in neutral sense, so I guess such use is mainstream

Incel.

Okay, so I was chatting up a guy and telling him about some of my dating horror stories. One ended god-damn-fucking immediately right after the sex pest I was talking to at the time was displeased with rebuffing said sex-pesting and just had to let me know "no man would want [you]".

Well, the guy I was chatting up immediately came back with "incel?"

Which, I find rather quizzical.

First of all, in all of my dating disasters over the last few years, I haven't met anyone you'd call an "incel". Second, I think the problem with this thing they call "incels" has been entirely overblown and like every idiotic internet argument, the term has gotten watered down into "someone I don't like and want branded with a bad name".

Third: if anything, I think online dating has bolstered femcel culture more than it has boosted whatever it is they call "incels". Basically, online dating is a Mexican standoff: "give me what I want right now, or I'll swipe left", and so men really don't have to ever discuss having a relationship with a woman because women won't throw down the gauntlet on "no boyfriend, no boyfriend privileges".

And what I think is really weird is, it's totally a girl technique to tear other people down like that. Especially when I didn't mention anything about the sex pest in the first place (in fact, dude was rich and rather prolific in his circles).

Point of this ramble being: I fucking haaaaaaaate the word "incel". Its use is cringe and it never says anything good about the person who wields it.
 
People being way too quick to use tl;dr or "lmao not reading all that". When tl;dr first came into popularity, you needed at least three paragraphs worth of content before it was warranted. Now that everything is catered to room-temperature IQ normies that only browse the internet with their phones, anything longer than three sentences is bound to get this response from some zoomer that got his attention span rotted out with a steady diet of TikTok. Yeah nigger, most things will appear long when your tiny-ass phone screen can only display seven words per line.
I'd also add in “Who Asked” or “Didn't ask” to that list. It's a smug way to brush off someone's words by pretending that them not caring about a response or statement means it is worthless.

I hate the word incel, but why the fuck would you tell your date all of your dating disasters? Thats like Red Flag #1.
