"Crusade" and "crusader" have become generic words, OP. No one except crazies would go "shit that word refers SPECIFICALLY to medieval period warfare!" Not to mention, the warfare in question was literally over five centuries ago, no one is affected by the "Crusades" today. (and they weren't called "crusades" back then, just fyi, that word came along later)

it's a generic word for a vigorous campaign for political, social, or religious change (a definition that comes up second to the medieval period warfare).

so it still doesn't make sense.

this was the second half of what I was going for. Even if we treat it as inoffensive, it's still the wrong term.

No kidding. I think we should be hitting some kind of statute of limitations mark any day now.

On a sidenote, it's interesting to me how there are these conflicting stances in fandom about "language evolves and changes, and therefore I can use this word for what I want" vs "this word once meant this specific thing and therefore cannot or should not ever be used in any other context."
