There have been a handful of things which really did need to be addressed. Think the Me Too stuff. some of that was outrageous and guys needed be called out for it. then things went haywire and we were suddenly told to "Believe ALL Women," as if this made any sense in any way. Again...taking something that started with good intentions and bending it so far as to make it absurd.
Exactly. What started out as something unquestionably positive was warped by bad faith parties into something of a cudgel for the opportunistic.

No one REALLY thinks that calling a person who OWNS a sports franchise an OWNER is hurting anyone's feelings or tapping into black athletes historical memories of family members generations ago having been owned.
Indeed. If someone really is THAT sensitive, they are the ones with the problem, not the people using an innocuous term in normal context.

Does anyone really question this part?
It's just a bad faith argument to assert what Dray has started here. It would be nice to still live in a world where you could simply point and laugh at someone when they asserted something so ridiculous and know that everyone else would be doing the same. Instead, thanks mostly to White Knights (meant in both ways) to some of the clowns in this thread, we actually have to waste valuable time picking apart CLEARLY disingenuous arguments and risk being labeled racist, sexist, bigoted, etc. for merely pushing back against an obviously illogical point.
