They're flagging words that have scientific applications that have nothing to do with anything divisive but are also used with things they find divisive. You can't use "barrier" or "historically" or fucking "polarization."

Ironically, my primary area of study was Marxist theory with an emphasis on bureaucracy, and those words aren’t on the list. But once again, STEM gets all the attention.

Considering the down votes they got, I don't think you were the only person to take what they said differently, the conservatives out there are really fucking up even basic communication with this crap.
