Well, it's happening. Again, we need
more "problematic" content, not less, to weed out the normies. Now, I did say that with less cops, there will be more demand and possibly supply of private security guards and bounty hunters, but this isn't quite the result that I was hoping for:

Like a lot of online articles these days, that headline seems designed to be far more inflammatory and clickbaity than the
article itself (that tweet conveniently doesn't link to the actual article). If you read it, the author seems (to me anyway) pretty clearly talking about herself and how she doesn't feel comfortable with the term tomboy, plus that everyone has the right to choose what labels they identify with. She's not saying the word should be banned for everyone and everywhere. Author even approvingly mentions her mother, a self-proclaimed tomboy, and a book called
Tomboy Style, described as "an ode to fashionable women in menswear". The article honestly seems pretty banal and has nothing really to disagree with, unless you're looking to get offended by something.
*Strangely, the URL is also even more exaggerated, adding "hugely" to problematic and going well beyond anything said in the article itself, presumably in an attempt to generate even more clicks.
Also, does anyone even seriously use the word tomboy to describe real people anymore? I've pretty much only seen it in reference to fictional characters, and calling someone in real-life that does sound like it could be awkward for pretty much exactly the reasons the writer of that piece mentions. I doubt anyone cares about calling anime-girls tomboys or whatever.
