    That sounds like not calling a cannibal a cannibal because of the negative connotation which the word doesn’t have in cannibal culture

      So small-minded? Let me remind you that “cannibal” is originally an ethnonym coined by Columbus for the native Caribbean people, whose culture certainly had a lot more nuance than just eating people.
