Editing Words to avoid

Unfortunately in the world full of  [[parental-rightism]], [[adultism]] and [[protectoinism]] there is a lot of [[loaded language]]. We, as [[youth-righter]]s should try to avoid these terms, as they normalize these [[viewpoint]]s. Of course, if the term isn't loaded by itself, but by its cultural context, using it in positive light to reclaim it may be a good idea.
