Tamagawa-san Detemashita? - Ch. 10 - The pervert with twenty faces

Some words also have more than one meaning when implemented in different contexts.

Hence my differentiating between "Sadism" in the personality/behavioral sense, and sadism as it pertains to the nomenclature of BDSM culture.

Trying to claim that any given word has a singular definition in every context will create a nonstarter of a dialogue, though, so if you refuse to acknowledge that context and accepted use matter, then yes, there's nothing to be gained from trying to explain or discuss this with you.

This is why people should come up with new words instead of co-opting existing ones. By using the same word you create ambiguity as to meaning and intent.

Alright, you Prescriptivist.
