I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.

Don’t stop using anything just because of this thread, lol. Except insults probably. Most of the general stuff here like “creative” or “gamer” or “content creator” are things very specific people have some gripe with that’s not at all how most people see those things.
It all depends on how you mean it. If you use words descriptively, most of all of them are fine to use. Only if you have derogatory or whatever intent behind it may become a problem.
I just find it annoying, not offensive. I never hold it against anyone using it and I can see why it gets used. I personally think using creators instead of creatives just comes across way less pretentious.
