Using abbreviations or initialisms obscures the meaning from people who are not in the know but does nothing to prevent people who might not want to think about the topic from being exposed to the idea, the code IS the idea. Not using coded language maintains clarity, does not bow down to corporate interest and is just as easily caught by filters for people who do not wish to be exposed to those topics.

good okay this is the comment you should have made in the first place. yes i agree uncoded language might be better, while some might disagree and say that fully spelling it out can be more triggering. i don’t have strong opinions either way but i thank you for actually engaging with the topic this time instead of throwing around gross sexual attacks for no constructive reason.
