at my wedding, the flower girl was my wife’s god daughter, the child of her college room mate and she happened to be black. on our honey moon we went to england to introduce my new wife to my family. We took out a copy of the wedding picture and my 80+ year old grand mother looked at it and declared “Oh! she’s a little colored girl!” we both just cringed.
If you think that is bad, fast forward to 2022 when you could get into all kinds of trouble for using the wrong pronoun for referring to someone. Of course I think the whole “Furry” thing was just a joke to drive the rednecks (am I allowed to say that?) crazy. . . . Mission Accomplished.
The problem with euphemisms is that they wear out and take on the same connotation as the word they were intended to sanitize. It’s like taking a water-soaked sponge out of a bucket of water and replacing it with a brand new one. The water always wins.

“Shaming into enlightenment.” “Let’s agree to what I decide.”
Is that 88 in the middle panel?
I would say nothing changed, but it’s a lie. They got worse, and more hysterical.
“Can’t say this, can’t say that.” “Do what I say, or you’re a Nationalsozialistische.”
Intercourse off.
