the evolution of language isn't an issue, agenda driven evolution is my issue with it. whether its left or right. if language evolves organically or due to actual relevant changing context, good and fine. if it's changed abruptly to try and push an agenda that's not good, and should be discouraged.
I don't see this as non organic. It seems to be a pretty natural evolution of language as our understanding of the damage done by non physical means has evolved.
Also I don't think you have an issue with all directed modifications to language. Racial slurs being seen as bad and discouraged from use was far more directed and intentional and I dont think you are going to argue that was a bad thing.
I think you're just being kinda silly trying to impress your preference for how languages should change, and I'm not convinced it's a principled stand against the mechanism.
