Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    No word is inherently bad, it’s all about what you mean and how you use it. Most people have a no-tolerance with a few words though.

    For example, all words would be ok in educational purposes.

      They are, if properly quoted and contextualized, and relevant to the curriculum at hand.

        In my country I don’t think so. Teachers get easily reported just for providing information that can be used by the other political spectrum. Has happened several times in drawing connections between migration and illegal acts.

        I would not downvote, but I would feel uncomfortable writing it myself :)
