Hearing "the 'N' word" instead of "nigger" drives me insane. Are people really so pathetically weak and unstable that they can't bear this one combination of syllables? It's just a fucking word but it's treated like a voodoo curse that cannot ever be uttered out loud FFS.

(Unless you're black of course, in which case you can say it constantly and anyone who tells you to STFU is just a bigot)
 
"Conspiracy theory". It's a thought-terminating cliche used to dismiss any basic pattern recognition.

"Misinformation/disinformation". It's code for wrongthink and inconvenient facts.

"Bothsidesism". Anyone who uses it is tacitly admitting that they have no interest in listening to anyone they disagree with, and have concluded that they are so unimpeachably right that anyone who says otherwise must be silenced.

"Journalism". 99.9% of people who claim this as a profession are glorified bloggers and propagandists.

allyship (should be a capital crime)
exclusive (in ads)
singular when talking about always-plural clothes: jean, pant, shoe [to refer to a pair]
"choice" suffers from overuse, people should get an uppercut in the jaw for each instance

"pick up" instead of "buy"
"on my radar"
"in the MeToo/Covid/whatever era"
"accept Christ"

"X, who uses the pronouns bun/bunself" - if you're going to suck tranny cock, say "requests the pronouns". "Uses" is just incorrect.
navigate (anything that's not a body of water or outer space)
explore (all figurative uses)
ableism
"needs aren't being met"
"feel unsafe"
misogynoir - the worst one so far
positivity / negativity except in science

(I had a list in the hundreds on twatter, mostly ad-related, before I got banned by a fat pedo. Used it for content aggregation, got my data out but it's not online anymore.)

Thats too many
 
I'll start with words that have lost their meaning:
tolerance
ally
consent
rights
fascist
"in this moment," (in history or whatever)

New words that suck:
Latinx
Ableist
Pan (pansexual, pan by itself)
capital B Black.
anything followed by phobia that isn't arachnophobia or homophobia. Or, if we're going to use those terms, actually treat the person as if they have a fear. For example, treat a transphobic person as if they're really, really afraid of these men in dresses. An islamophobic person may really have a fear of Islam. That should be much more accepted, in my view.
Masc and femme are solid pics as well.
Covid should just be called the virus from Wuhan and anybody who hates it should go fuck themselves.
Negative mentions of "social media" existing by any person who has a social media account.
Sexual misconduct usually refers to someone asking someone out and having them say no, but it's convenient because it sounds like a legitimate rape (can we bring back this term, by the way?).
