    while i agree in one sense this is insane it is also the correct timing and direction from a descriptivist sense she made it offensive just by saying it and someone noticing that she said it vast implications here powerful hmmmmmmhttps://twitter.com/SteveKrak/status/1316223349719216128 …

    As recently as last month, Webster’s Dictionary included a definition of “preference” as “orientation” or “sexual preference.” TODAY they changed it and added the word “offensive." Insane - I just checked through Wayback Machine and it’s real. (via @ThorSvensonn & @chadfelixg) pic.twitter.com/oOq1SNtCP2

        "don't be unpopular" is the only way to not say things that are offensive now

        This might be the most insidious example yet of the pervasive "sudden revisionism" we have been witnessing. As someone who is desensitized to most of this, this particular case crosses a whole new threshold. This needs a massive amount of public attention.

        this is teeming with potential for reclamation by bisexuals/pansexuals/etc "preference" adds some helpful context

        I wonder if there’s almost a form of evolutionary process going on. Powerful groups often harness ambiguity for political aims. Subgroups that introduce ambiguity when needed are able to wield more power, and therefore come to dominate the larger group?
