        It’s a thought stopping strategy, define a negative term to exclude the things you want to defend or normalize. Similar to how they used to teach about “alcohol, tobacco, and drugs” in school like the former two aren’t drugs, almost certainly influenced by alcohol and tobacco lobbies putting pressure on school curriculums.
