They will care once it's forced down on them. When it's too late. While
IMO it's often stupid to stay silent, they don't deserve such treatment.

All words have the potential to cause pain.

Slavery is not a silly matter IMO. That's not the dicussion here

As has been explained multiple times, by different people: the change
you are proposing is not small.
And while me's truly sorry if certain technical terms cause you (or
anyone else) pain, depression, or worse: they are technical, and when
taken in context, they have no emotional load beyond what we personally,
and individually, assign to them.
Are you going to try and persuade physicists to drop Schroedinger's Cat,
because randomly gunning down cats is just cruel?
Good luck.
