Words do mean things. But there is still a material difference between a word that refers to something that's defined by qualities that are not subjective and a word that refers to something that's subjective by its nature. "Mpreg" means something very specific. It refers to male pregnancy, and people don't use it to mean anything else because there's nothing subjective about either maleness or pregnancy. "Fluff" has no such specific meaning, or specific qualities that define it.

It's like "pretty" that way. Somebody can think something is pretty, and label it as pretty, that you believe is the ugliest thing on the planet. Your perception is as legitimate as theirs, but you can't say they're incorrect to call it pretty merely because you find it hideous. Their perception is legitimate too, and they have as much right to the descriptor as you do.

The people who label things "fluff" that you don't think are fluffy are expressing their own perceptions of a subjective quality. You don't have to agree, but your perception doesn't control anyone else's.
