Haven't we been doing exactly what you say since like forever? Aren't "asshole" or "creep" or "nice" just labels coined a long time ago that already distort someones actual behavior or some situation between 2 people? Or used for being mocked or commended? I say at least in current times the new generations are expanding that vocabulary in trying to be more precise but the people that are more of a following type keep defaulting to exclusionary behavior.


Yes, but this time it's with the veneer of scientific legitimacy.


It's certainly not uncommon for specialists in any scientific field to roll their eyes when someone outside their discipline discusses their work.


"asshole" isn't an identity or a diagnosis
