  Sep 6, 20256 minS0

  Words were meant to connect us, but online, they’re often used to divide. <p>In this episode I explore how toxic neologisms like gaslighting, cancel culture, woke-washing, oppression Olympics, and Karen have become tools of digital aggression. </p><p>Drawing from my own research, I examine how these terms, born from real social concerns, are now used to shame, silence, and polarise. </p><p>A timely reflection on the cost of our increasingly hostile discourse — and how we might reclaim language for understanding, not warfare. </p><p>Listen if you’ve ever wondered why online conversations so often go wrong, and...
