Geez. This is such a reminder of how many "current" negative labels of this are ambivalent, probably useless, and possibly dangerous, e.g. "Toxic" and cousins "problematic" and "not okay."

And FWIW, I believe not saying this from any specific political-sided perspective. I very much like labels like "racist," "homophobic" etc. Not because they are always correct, but because they are relatively much CLEARER and force one to be serious about whether or not they want to use that label.
