    Lol brain injury is cumulative (e.g. football players) in what way is calling brain injury what if is “manipulative intensifying language” lmao

    This isnt me defending the US btw, apparently its the kind of place you get lots of concussions (the nice, non traumatic kind tho ;3)

      If there are two correct and common terms; One broad that includes far more severe effects, and one narrow that specifically excludes the worst. Then choosing to use less accurate term is misleading and manipulative, intentionally or not.
