It&#x27;s amusing how our mental model of people has become: anything potentially <i>internally</i> upsetting to a person will psychologically destroy them forever.  Therefore, you must never say anything anybody (globally) could possibly have a negative reaction towards.<p>Being sensitive and aware of others needs is great, but being punished because Joe cries when he hears the word Soufflé, and you didn&#x27;t know that fact, is weird.  On the other hand, once you know Joe is sensitive to the S word, and you continue harassing Joe with a daily Soufflé, then you are an asshat.<p>Our future is on a trajectory to just be like the minions movie.  The only word allowed will be <i>banana</i>, in deference to maintaining the internal psychological purity of all sentient humans.
