No, you are using their own words and concepts against them. This is very effective if you do it correctly, as Saul Alinsky noted.
I hate how people casually use sci and corpo terminology

Dopamine hit began being used everywhere because of nofappers. They had their own technical words they used to avoid more vulgar expressions such as cumming or jacking off. I don't like the expression because it makes it sound like playing a video game or watching a YouTube video is equivalent to taking drugs. It's stupid, not one thing you can do while sober will ever trigger a chemical release as big as drugs, not even sex.
Antivaxxers aren't sending their best.

One of my side gigs is making songs for other people which includes writing lyrics and when I do that, I like them to evoke emotions so I avoid formal speech unless requested.
However, in every day speech, it's good to have a standardized language so that everyone knows what you're talking about without additional questions about definitions.
Personally, I fucking hate emotionally charged vague words and phrases in conversations.
For example, when talking to women, they will often use words like ''vibes'' and good luck figuring out what the fuck that means, especially since it means different things to different women.

A lot of these words and phrases exist to be very precise. Necessary when speaking of things in a scientific (or business) context. They're only annoying outside that because so many people use them incorrectly or in a way that implies something else.
I have absolutely nothing against calling something an IP. Most all entertainment these days is indeed very corporate. Soullessly so. If you have a problem calling something like Star Wars an IP you're the one in denial about its purpose for existing and what it means to most people. It also has meaning as a legal term which is sort of wrapped up in the conversation. It's not just a particular story, but one untouchable in particular ways because it's owned by someone/something else. You're not talking about a cultural thing owned by no one but those participating but someone else's intellectual property and it's necessarily distant from you in some ways.

I hate the word "corpo" because it sounds too cool. For some reason when I hear the word "corpo" what immediately springs to mind is a ruthless cunt with a suit who's actually important, not a fat marshmallow faggot who shills for Disney,

SJWs always like using academic-sounding speech. Sorta like "Chris Chan" always trying to talk in that "look how edumacated" way.

Not at all. There are no non-drug situations comparable to a crack addict's obsession with crack. Obtaining and using it becomes the sole focus, purpose and meaning of their entire life and nothing can ever get in the way of that. Even alcoholics and opiate addicts don't become that obsessed with their drug of choice.

They have these things called "schools" where you would probably find some research that suggested dopamine is real.

The arrogant narcissists that roam the earth these days use terminology like that because they think it makes them sound more intelligent, when it actually shows just how programmed they are by the media and by whatever hivemind they belong to. It's like how people always say they're "consuming media" instead of "I enjoyed the movie/show". They celebrate being mindless consumers with zero brain capacity and no higher ambitions than to glue their eyeballs to a screen, and the language they use reflects that.

Somewhat, yes. "Intellectual property" and some words people are overusing have their place outside the lawyer's office or laboratory when discussing these things in a certain context of a court case or something, but someone dropping that phrase regularly sounds like a pretentious twat. I also don't believe in dopamine since it is one of those brain chemicals used in ads for SSRIs where they have the little animation of the out of whack brain function that gets better when you take the drug (and which they admitted in the last year or so is bullshit). I do however use the term dopamine hit to mock people who have a compulsive need for some pop culture or social media shit.
I think it's nuts how every corp has a comittee to decide how to run the franchises, and they all choose to spike it directly down an outhouse.
Right into the blue water. Everything you ever loved. We'll give you exactly what you don't want and call you racist or childish.
Meanwhile they can't write their way out of a paper fucking bag.
There was a thing in fanfic around 2004, 2005, where a plot would become nonsensical, but move extremely quickly, and you just have to roll with it, okay?
Those fuckers are the franchise stewards today.
I've heard the reason 09 trek kept blowing the fucking ship up was because the chinese don't like movies set on ships.
So... stop catering to the slants.

Alternative explanation: young people in westoid non-English-speaking countries all learn English as a second language without exception, and college students happen to be the most exposed to it--on the Internet, while studying, when interacting with foreigners. I think it's a reach to claim they all consciously make a decision to use random English words to "sound cooler". There are definitely some faggots who do that on purpose but in general it just comes instinctively when recalling words sometimes because language use is an instinctive thing.
You live in a demographic of relatively proficient English speakers being exposed to English every day, no shit you're gonna use English words sometimes.

I have no interest getting caught up in the COVID slapfight. It's political, plain and simple. As much as you and other like to larp being a "free thinking skeptic," you are simply another ideologue, choosing to only accept the information that reflects your preconceived notions of the world while rejecting anything that contradicts them. Just like the people on the other side. Get fucked with this "I'm a shepherd" shit. You and everybody else who parrots the same talking points.

I guess we can also do away with nutritional facts, prescription effects, safe use information since I should blindly follow the instructions of a physician. May as well remove labels and names of all prescription medication, doctors and the scientists knows what is best for me. Oh, your physician is a tranny? "Hey doc, my back still hurts and now I have breasts." Blindly following any figure of authority makes you a sheep fresh for the slaughter. I don't care what sperg delusion you hold, holding anything as absolute is a fool's game.

The robot speak is just part and parcel of late stage physicalism. If everything is physical then "dopamine rush" is simply being accurate.

Lmao.
Reminds me of the time I met a girl at a party that was into online text role playing games and when she met my handsome friend she said, out loud "smiles cutely" instead of just smiling cutely, before turning red when she realized her mistake.

Those things are NOT just "good feelings." Feeling good because you helped someone with their homework or walked an old woman across the street is a "good feeling." Elation is "you got that NES you always wanted for Christmas" [yes I'm an eighties kid], Euphoria is how you'd feel if you met God for real and God confirmed your pet theory was spot-on the whole time.
They SHOULD be put on a pedestal because they're things you might not feel very often. True euphoria is something you might only experience once in your entire lifetime. To conflate them with just how you feel after watching a particularly good episode of He-Man is to devalue them.
FWIW I only used "corpo" because I didn't want the title of this topic to get too long.
On the note about "Consumer" its kinda telling when even a retard like Jim fucking Sterling points out that word is evil because it exists entirely to degrade the consumer.
To this day I only ever use "Consumer" or "Consooom" as an insult. Again though its a word that--much like "IP"--I've seen misused to describe things that might actually be of artistic value. Let's be honest though, most people's idea of "art" is "whatever made me pop a boner today."
A similar thing, years back there used to be a thing where people would describe any positive feeling in sexual terms. "This game gets me hard," or I even remember a time "that was pure sex" was a slang term.... fortunately, this seems to have passed as people realized how retarded it sounded.
We live in an absurd reality. Sometimes the best way to undermine stupid think is to throw your own brand of stupid right back at it.
Like a few weeks back someone was trying to tell me about some bad decision they were making, I asked why and they said the news on television (yeah some people still watch OTA broadcasts) said something something had happened.
I asked, "How do you know that's real?"
He said, "Well it was on television."
My response, "Spider-Man is on television too, do you think that's real?"
It was a dumb argument but it did talk the guy down from making a decision that would've left him a homeless hobo.
......
Also I'm not distrusting science entirely because of COVID. Honestly I had doubts about it even decades before. I mean there is just something shady as fuck about something that is supposed to advance human understanding and yet constantly hordes its knowledge behind paywalls.
Ultimately, humans are still emotional creatures and they tend to find things that support their beliefs. And science-types tend to be Isaac Asimov-esque types who think everything is predictable if you're smart enough, so of course when they say "everyone has a magic drug in their body that makes them happy" or that romance is caused by something called pheromones.... yeah of course they'd find this appealing. "I'll get a girl to like me by giving myself a pheromone injection!"
(Pheromones are another of those things I've always had serious questions about that makes me think we're not usually told the whole story. If they're what cause love/attraction, how do you explain autists who fall for fictional characters, or real people they only know from television/the internet? Why aren't we all just falling for literally every person of the opposite sex who crosses our path?)

What you are seeing is the natural transition between the use of the utilitarian "common" language and the literary "flowery" language. The oldest (1st century BC) example of this that I know is the rivalry between the austere Attic and the emotional Asiatic styles of rhetoric. The Asiatic style was derided by Cicero for its dependence on poetry while he also criticized how plain and robotic the Attic style was. Speaking and writing patterns are cyclical and they have switched regularly between utilitarian and flowery throughout the last 2000 years at least. Simple language is not bad; for example, Xenophon is still appreciated for the simplicity of his language because it is very accessible for students.
A more recent example of this was the Aesthetic movement that George Meredith and Oscar Wilde were part of. Both were known for their complex and heavily-adorned writing styles which were seen as in opposition to the austere styles common in Victorian Britain. A few decades later, they gave way to the post-war styles such as Hemingway's famously simple and stilted prose. At the same time you also had Woolf and Nabokov, whose writing was anything but austere, and this also shows it is not a smooth transition. Give it a few decades more and you will see more complex writing and speaking styles again. This is already happening with writers like Anne Carson.
The average person will continue speaking the common language with only minor variations because they always have. Why should the average Joe know what saga, chattel or soliloquy means? He talks mainly with people who do not know these words either. The only deviations from the norm will be the increasingly common use of Internet slang such as Otterly's "needful" example. There's absolutely nothing wrong with modern language evolving as we have enough dead ones to apply our autism to.
Friend, paywalls are stupid tax and science is literally free. Use Anna's Archive, SciHub, zLibrary, Libgen or any other shadow library. The only requirement for learning is literacy.
