Eclipse’s Comments (group member since Apr 26, 2026)

Eclipse’s comments from the Language & Grammar group.

The words I especially loath are those that are sanitized as a means to directly enforce carnism (the invisible belief system that conditions consumers to eat, wear, and otherwise exploit certain animals). An example is "meat" which is actually the flesh of an innocent animal who wanted to live.

Another is the oxymoron of using the word "humane" to describe the deliberate killing of "livestock," who are seen as just products when in reality they are living, breathing beings just like us. There is also profound irony in the use of the word "natural" within carnism, as modern animal agriculture is one of the most "unnatural" systems on the planet.

Each non-human animal has their own rich life story to tell - if only we would let them! None of this is related to biological instinct, but an outdated system built upon cultural conditioning. The below link should prove informative as further understanding of this topic.

Sharing this here now that there is a dedicated thread, thank you Ken!

My current biggest concern is the active threat of linguistic erosion directly caused by AI, knowing that the disappearence rate of classic words has and will continue to increase greatly. Please see the study by Richard Soares linked below, it's extremely dismaying.
