> Saying a word is bad is pretty much the definition of censorship yes. Not the context it is used, not the implications when it is used but uncategorically BAD

No expressing an opinion, eve ln an unqualified unconditional one, about a word is not the fee definition of censorship. Forcing others not to publish what you don't like is censorship (even if that dislike is based in context and conditions, and not unconditional opposition to a word.) Presenting an opinion is just presenting an opinion.

> it just breaks my somewhat autistic brain on the principle.

Yeah, you not liking an opinion doesn’t convert that opinion into censorship, either.
