I recently had a comment on another site flagged by a bot for using ableist language when I used the world "insane".
It was a first for me as well. Will go with "batshit" next time.
It's insane there's backroom string-pullers trying to take out words like insane.
Rick from Pawn Stars uses the word, so it's good enough for me! He often describes certain amazing facts or objects as insane. Because he likes those things. It can be positive.
Is the motivation to onboard "use this list or be on wrong side of ethics and get nasty reviews"? there's an element of that.
Microsoft 360, all that new stuff, surprised to find shiny new morality-checker sitting alongside the spellchecker. Watching over my every word. I unchecked 5000 checkboxes to disable it all. Auto-nicer-word enforcer is not for me.
