Ploughperson's Lunch!

When people apparently struggle to explain what a woman is and what was once satire becomes reality - entirely believable
 
Let's be honest. There are snowflakes on either side of this argument. There is the permanently offended on other's behalf and the other side are offended by any slight change. It is tribal. Every change is seen as a win/loss and vice versa any refusal to change. I'd predict most people are in the middle and don't get upset by things either way. Of course, there are more headlines in the extremes so that is where the noise is made. It doesn't help that businesses, MPs etc pander to these headlines either.

The best example is when businesses change their logos to rainbows for pride week. It is clearly a publicity stunt because their Middle Eastern branches don't follow suit because it wouldn't go down well with their customers. The right wingers find themselves in a funny situation where they are conflicted by praising the Middle Eastern countries for not giving in whilst also hating them for not being progressive when they come and live here.

Why? My Grand parents used terminology that is completely unacceptable today.

Yes, i'm sure they did. But no doubt they were derogatory terms used to collectively put down other races (no doubt not necessarily deliberately so by your grandparents?), rather than being terms describing the easilly offended or easil;y angered
