Reality doesn't seem to matter anymore. When libs are fixated on correcting you, you have no hope of redemption. They need to feel superior and use their "correct" language to emphasize their superiority, regardless of whether what they're emphasizing is entirely fabricated.

My opinion: people need to chill. and also to understand that English is used by different people in various contexts. Not everybody grasps the subtleties of the language. For instance, if discussing something like "a product highly recommended for our discreet female audience" or stating "no problems have been encountered in the department for female prisoners" is considered appropriate, somebody might feel that writing "To look at a female's behind" (as seen in the original r/therewasanattempt post) is also acceptable. And it's no big deal.

Also, it's a typical Anglo-Saxon harry potteresque LIB magical thinking, and obsession, with language, magic words and formulations. Censoring words just make them stronger. Stop being fucking puritains stupid ameriremoved. Scarlet letters never work. Changing words doesn't change the world, activism about language is just LIB slacktivism to feel smug and superior, and ultimately keeping the status quo as it is.

How's it with you guys ?

For me as well. But then I purged the cache and updated ublock filters. And now it's working again.

It's a race between youtube and ublock, and ublock is winning.
