I'm always disheartened to find the people most loudly exclaiming the need for humanism at the same time demand that every human adopt their bespoke version of disgust, at the risk of being othered by that author.

In any event the author is free to ban whichever token they want, that's an inference time measure.

i get the notion that "human things should not pretend to be human", but there is funny circularity (?) here in that the "thing" that is accused of being "human" is not in fact human, and its alleged attempt to mimick human-ness is infact a projection of the human in question - which actually vindicates the non-human thing in using human language, since after all, if the squishy humans will accuse you of pretending to be human anyway (despite clearly not being one), you might aswell do so!
