Probably because it's not just "one" word. There's a whole lot of them to consider. Mostly because the words I used in the 80s growing up have an etymology completely different with their contextual usage.

Good examples being "dumb" (as part of "deaf and dumb") where it historically meant that the person was mute when we were talking about Anne Frank in school, I was confused because I just thought it meant someone stupid (and I wasn't allowed to call my brother any variation of stupid). Despite "dumb" having both dictionary definitions, most people use it as an insult that doesn't involve the other party being silent. I think the spirit of this thread is that people are taking SJ too far in some cases and are looking for excuses to be upset and bemoan anything that makes them different and thus sensitive.

It's like
Person A: Wow, I really like that neat picture!
Person B: Liquor is served neat and I'm a recovering alcoholic! I can't believe you'd mention that to me!

And while I agree if you visit as site, you follow its rules, it's not about "thinking more critically", because sometimes you're using terms colloquially in an OBVIOUS manner as to which definition is appropriate. No intent to insult is given and suddenly you're blindsided by people rushing to insist you are an asshole because someone, somewhere is different and might possibly think you meant the term as a pejorative against them.
