When I posted the first one in this thread, I didn't realize there was some previous discussion about this decision by this project. I read the post, then came in here and saw a comment that had jumped from that post to a conspiracy-ish project to ban all "offensive" words or something. I didn't have the context at the time to hear the dogwhistle so to speak so it seemed purely ridiculous.
Now that it's clear what they are actually worried about, yes it was meant to be dismissive. I'm not convinced this trend is real or that it's a problem if it is.
