        Yeah, even the actual sentiment of the video is more like, “it’s not great but it’s the name that stuck and there’s solidarity behind it.”

        The problem, as always, is lumping people together when they didn’t ask to be. Most of the newer, more “politically correct” terms are even more generic and alienating, and, once again, being forced on them from outside.

        It’s a person by person thing and I suspect age plays a large part in feelings towards the term. In general I would say avoid the term unless it is requested.
