what you're saying doesn't make any sense; why would I change jobs when there's nothing wrong with my current job? To be clear, I wasn't implying that any change like this is at all likely to happen anytime soon where I work.

As for the "fragile" part, it's almost ironic to see people use the right wing's signature "I won't consider your arguments so I'm attributing your whole position to personal weakness" phrase.

Your quote: "if a bot tells me not to use the word "blacklist", I will start looking for another job".

I was pointing out that either that bot's answer hurts you a lot (which is fine) or your job motivation is very fragile.

At the end is just an automatic program which invites you to use a slightly more inclusive language.
It's fine to agree or disagree, but is it really so bad to let you change job?

As I mentioned elsewhere, I was being hyperbolic. I wouldn't change jobs just because of something like this, but it would definitely be a red flag.
