I detect a bit of sarcasm here. "Mainstream" is fine by me as a word - it means as much as "current", but with a slight negative connotation. If your opinions are mainstream they are not only current they are also not really thought through by you, but are are borrowed from the crowd.

I thought of another one. Not a word, but a two word phrase: "real name"

Who is to say that the name a person uses in real life isn't the person's "real name"? (There's also an issue of sites with so-called "real name" policies, like Facebook, for example.)

Of course, I could go further and just ban the word "real".

Is that the 'mainstream' opinion?
I think "religious cheese", "corporate cheese" and "government cheese" have a nice ring to them.

No, just my own opinion ha ha ! Where there are two words you have to make a distinction. "Current" for me is a neutral word : it simply denotes what exists at the moment and is continuing to exist and "trending" "Mainstream", on the other hand, (since it is a different word) means "current but passive ; thoughtlessly current". That's just my own interpretation of the two words though. To call someone's opinions "mainstream" is slightly more insulting than to call them "current" in my view, because "mainstream" connotes a lack of independent thought.

And I'll stick to that distinction because there are two concepts here : current thinking doesn't need to be unthinking but it is so often is nowadays. Mainstream thinking, on the other hand, is just the thinking of a parrot who wants to look clever and is good at imitating opinions he / she has heard being voiced by " clever" people, or by the majority.

"Sheeple". Mostly used by unoriginal knobs who are utterly conformist in their "nonconformity".

Yeah, Brits should stick to overusing "brilliant" and "lovely". =P

Sexist

I don't think it means what you think it means

Yeah despite having a evidence backed viewpoint that is presentled soundly, he is still a hater. Pay no attention to his facts hes just hatin.

Relevant.

This one, as well.

On reflection I think I would just abolish the internet. It is such a Tower of Babel. Almost no chance of unanimity about anything since there are so may different countries and cultures and generations talking at once and people inevitably won't all understand one another. That's my positive outlook for the day.

"DRM" :D.Cheers

Thread reminds me of this hilarious debacle.

That's three words... Tell you what, we ban "misogynist", "racist", and "bigot", and then we'll ban SJW. Those three words are (mis)used to dismiss or attack people far more often than SJW. It's positively delicious watching these nutjobs get so upset when they get a taste of their own medicine.

Okay I have no idea what the hell you are talking about but you obviously missed my point. :P

"Like"

In fact anything "invented" after 1980, i.e. all the technobabble, twatterspeak, text-lingo, leet-speak, dickbook chatter, youtube comments, media, yuppie, management spiel etc.
