Challenging others to use respectful and appropriate language has a positive effect on how people perceive each other and themselves. If the short-term effect of a broader social shift in which people respect each other’s differences is some overzealous college students on the Internet, I’ll take it. Call-out culture has its flaws, but the increased stakes for the language we use forces us to be more precise in our determinations, ultimately making our thoughts more rigorous and our actions more thoughtful.
