Adjusting to a neutral or euphemistic type of language may appease the haters for the time being. The "fat," "stupid," and "poor" wouldn't have to worry about being subjected to microaggression. However, shifting our language wouldn't create a positive shift for those people. The "underhoused" or "big-boned" people wouldn't magically change to a more preferable being. The root of this problem -- microaggression -- would not be solved. Our society would only digress farther from solving this issue.

Microaggression
Microaggression is prominent in society today. There will always be judgment and criticism due to human nature. Some naive people also known as the word police believe altering language is a key making change in our ways. They believe neutralizing language and using non offensive language is will slowly begin to unify. However, this is further dividing the people because there will be a clash in how they would want to express themselves. This form of unified language would most likely result in a depreciation in freedom of expression. At that point people would be conversing for the sake of needing to talk and discuss, not for the sake of expressing creatively to portray individuality. Books, poetry, and magazines would start to lose its purpose as the lack of expression continues to take over our society. School textbooks, documentaries, and encyclopedias will be the center of attention with regard to the limited speech. The "womyn" in our society will come to find using "ovarimony" less offensive and more relevant in comparison to "testimony." Little words and phrases will slowly reach the mechanical and robotic part of the spectrum. Appoint a Big Brother of our own and we would have a dystopian world of our own.
