They shouldn't say 4chan caused it, if it did the thread would have been on the front page. I just looked, and the thread died.

The poll is to ban one word and they include things like:

"sorry not sorry"
"I can't even"
'said no one ever"

these are multiple words?

[Kochieboy]

Feminism isn't feminism anymore, thank god they'd get rif of it. Fascism seems like a better term.

What does banning a word even do?

It's just a stuff flinging contest for words that have a certain social stigma

basically nothing at all

What does banning a word even do?

nothing
i doubt TIME has the authority to play vocab police, this is just a poll of "what word (or phrase, rather) are you sick of hearing the most"
