Sir or Madam, I am one of the most emphatic humans I know (on my scale as a pleb). I care for the suffering of all people, and am willing to give up large chunks of my life remaining for social causes. I live below my means so people I've never met can live a better life.
But arguing over terminology used by a data store? Let's not discuss window dressing patterns while the neighborhood is burning to the ground.
Pick the hill you want to die on wisely. This is not that hill.
No, it's all about feel good, especially about YOU feeling good that you did something. Kind of like people signing Internet petition or wear awareness bracelets.
The problem with it is that you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, except making yourself feel better.

You say this, but it doesn't jive with your original comment. Choosing words and conduct carefully are the "low hanging" fruit in this world, they cost you nothing, but have material impact on the groups you are a part of.
