Do they know the word exists? Words are meant to describe ideas, if you ban a word the idea isn’t going anywhere. People will just use other words to describe the same idea. Or they will just use the word, it will be removed but everyone will understand the idea.
Really, I don’t think there’s anything more ridiculous and pathetic than banning words.
But we don’t have to see it, and there’s value in that. Also, people don’t really use the word literally because it gets removed. Normal people get the idea that they aren’t supposed to say it, so they stop. It works.
It’s good to be sensitive to the concerns of minority groups, and the women on .ml don’t want to see that word.
