that concept is effectively just the heckler's veto, and indeed it fucking sucks.
If we let people continously ruin words and symbols such that we stop using them, they get to decide what words and symbols we use, and have a tool to shape discourse to their favour.
As a swede, i do not much like the idea of going "welp, nazis used viking imagery, we have to ban runes now", i don't want nazis to be able to merrily wipe out the last traces of our past culture.
Semiotics is such a fascinating study. The true power of language is astonishing, and I don't mean marketing. We live our lives in language. LLM's are going to change the relationship between the planes of content and expression so much that we're forced back to first principles. It's a bit surreal understanding this, and watching everyone argue over jobs and copyright.
