Found this article in the longreads community arguing why “politically correct” terms shouldn’t be used. You guys have any thoughts?

    This is fair. Usually when I hear “prescriptive” I have a knee-jerk reaction to it as something bad because it’s usually used to refer to people using made-up rules to enforce systems of oppression rather than fight against them like inclusive language does, but I hadn’t thought about it as “prescriptivism for good.”
