language confuses me sometimes, like I don’t get how a lot of labels start out as the widely accepted term only to eventually become offensive and outdated and replaced with a new word

I’m just super curious on the process behind this, like who decides when it’s outdated and then who decides when its oudatedness makes it offensive to use

In some cases is it just people not liking how it sounds? Or does it have a bad double meaning? When does it go from the correct term to a slur? Why does being outdated have to be offensive?

I mean I get it, I get why some words aren’t good any more like referring to intersexed people as hermaphrodites because the scientific definition of hermaphrodites doesn’t actually describe intersexed people and it’d be bad to compare these people to things like slugs.

And obviously the N word is really bad because of the context it was used by shitty racist people so again that’s understandable

But I’m talking more about those labels where one moment that’s what everyone is saying, and the next there’s a new word to use that’s better and the old one becomes this horrible awful offensive slur rather than just being a word that’s not used any more for that context…

Like aspergers for example. It’s outdated now because of the history behind the name, and now we say autism spectrum disorder, but that’s a mouthful and people recognize aspergers more as a specific thing. (If they came up with another simpler word for it that woulda been nice DX) But anyway the word is OLD. It’s not a horrible slur, it’s not a bad word, it just had bad origins and I don’t understand when people act like it’s as bad as saying r*tard.

Hell now that I brought it up we keep coming up with new politically correct ways to refer to people with mental disabilities, some people would even argue saying “disabled” is bad so I don’t even know where to go with that one. And I’m mentally ill so if even I don’t know what the right thing to say is, there’s a problem.
