MODERATORS
I agree with this, but you don't.
So which is it? Does historical etymology matter or does current use and meaning? Again, the vast majority of people do not find "Stupid" to be a bigoted phrase associated bigotry. The current, descriptivist definition in how it's actually used is not bigoted so you criticized it on it's history. Then you say the history doesn't matter but how it's used?
Updooted on hooxbear, never thought I'd see the day of the prescriptivists
descriptivism = good, correct
prescriptivism = bad, the opposite of correct
I agree your statement isn't descriptivist, it's prescriptivist, which is why it's not correct. Hope that clears things up.
