The purpose of language is to reveal and convey meaning and thought. Euphemisms and euphemistic language are designed to control how you talk about certain subjects and consequently, how you think about them. People who try to control how you think NEVER have anyone's "best interests" in mind but their own.
Don't let other people tell you how to manage your own head.
that sounds super profound but imo makes no sense, what's your point? What is the euphemism in the OP?
I love this comment because it can be applied to multiple perspectives on this cultural debate.
