At least once a week I see an article about somebody's "hidden language" or "intentionally obfuscated wording" as if that isn't just what happens to all language with all marginalized people. Usually intentionally. It predates social media by thousands of years. The frickin christian fish shape is supposed to be an obfuscated emoji ffs.
