Then use a more logical language than English.Languages should be logically based
There is no reason for language to be logical first. English is one of the most poetic languages precisely because it has so much baggage, which is close to the opposite of being logical.
People think they can control language but they can't. Social justic warrior starts as a compliment, but becomes an insult. His is thoroughly by people having to deal with them. You see the same in how they tried to cancel norm macdonald for saying "person with down syndrome". He wanted to say retarded, realised it was a no no word, substituted it, and it was still unacceptable. It doesn't matter what word you use for a retard, the new word will become contaminated because people realise what you mean with it. And some people are very overprotective of retards that they can't stomach it being the punchline of a joke.
There is a constant march of words going out of vogue for being vulgar this way, but it doesn't matter how kind the new one ia, because it will get filled with all the same content and meaning over time.
Of course the list of words above is more calculated and intentional chnaging of language, but there too control is limited and people in general intuit and figure out what things are like and end up filling the words with the meaning that they have anyways.
