Honestly, when it's just text, it's hard to tell if people are being sarcastic, serious, or whatever because you can't hear tone or see facial cues. You lose a lot of context when it's just text.
I just have a bad experience was the "autism rights" activists. Some of the organizations they tell you to support instead of Autism Speaks are the ones that tell you that it's "ableist" to use words like "stupid", "crazy", and "dumb". I also hate how some don't like it when you say "Asperger's Syndrome" because Hans Asperger was probably a eugenicist. Guess what, so was Alexander Graham Bell. A lot of inventions and discoveries are from abhorrent people.
And it's drama like that leads to further (unnecessary) policing of language. It's shit like this why we have CoCs and banning of terms like "sanity check".
