Um... lying is a thing. Is that not "weaponized" language?

Why so? The good intent in cooking is assumed but largely concealed until output. Only once ingested could the recipient judge for themselves. Language has volume and meaning as soon as it’s uttered. Digestion often not necessary to render sound judgment. More obvious.

by that analogy, would you consider toxic messages/misleading news akin to food poisoning?

Like a hammer, language has great utility as a weapon. Language can be used to effectively change people's behavior in all sorts of ways: it has weapon-like characteristics. The solution may be to contextualize language to defuse its potential as a tool to inflict harm.

Isn't "weaponized" language equivalent to forcing that you can no longer use the kitchen to cook such or such things?

this is sth that bugs me abt the tool/weapon dichotomy in general, it's useful as a spectrum to place things on but almost nothing is purely or even predominantly one or the other

even guns are far more tool than weapon in times/places/communities where hunting is a critical part of the food supply
