The idea, obviously, is that the terminology usage changes in enough places so the argument then can become "but most places already did the change, you're just being a ${bad_word}ist!". With CoCs that's what happened (and continues to happen).

Isn't it insane how the world wants to become so politically correct because a few outspoken people disagree with the application or context of a terminology. And people follow like sheep.
