Well this is a debate about prescriptivism vs descriptivism, right? I'm saying the complexities of the ways the word is used no longer make its meaning clear unless certain adjectives are applied. You're arguing we should stick to the "intended" meaning. But at what point does denying the evolution of language to become more transphobic deny the genuine harms suffered by trans people? Surely there's a point where that's the case, right? How do you know we haven't reached that point?
At this point in time I tend to take terms like "intersectional feminist" to mean someone is probably an ally, but if someone just calls themself a feminist without any adjectives, that gives me absolutely zero information as to whether they're interested in gender equality for all gender identities. I know they support cis women, but I have no idea whether they support any kind of trans person.
Designers don't have to program in every evil thing to make an evil path. They just have to program in one evil path that's fun. Making games fun is their job. If playing an evil character isn't fun, they failed. If they can't find it in themselves to write an evil main character, they shouldn't be including the option.

It's a great video game.
They only surveyed 1100 people.

In The Good Place there's a scene that takes place in Australia where Chidi, who is a professor there, has a mental breakdown and makes peep chili. The thing is, Australians don't know what peeps are, so this scene made no sense to us. Anyway, that's the only reason I know what peeps are.
There is no amount of exhaustion that could persuade me not to learn the name of my loved one's favourite toy for years on end.
