You know, you're probably right. Blanket terms can cause so much damage to things, from fanfiction to sports. *sigh* it's depressing, really, when you come down to it. whatever the term may be may start out as something completely valid and descriptive, but can degenerate into a blanket term that covers things that had almost to relation to the original term, and then even further into an insult.
But, look at the world today, and tell me it's surprising that things like that happen. :P
