The perpetually offended are always looking for something, this one was too easy for them.
They should have renamed it penispox. (I'm pretty sure that's not bad language?)

I realise that the underlying story concerning unknown viruses and bacteria laying dormant in the ice and/or permafrost for millennia is a very real one, but why do scummy tabloids, like The Sun, always present such stories in a manner that tries to induce fear?
Pandemic fears as 'zombie’ virus revived after years trapped under icy lake
THERE are renewed fears of another pandemic after scientists revived a zombie virus that was trapped under a frozen lake for 50,000 years. More deadly viruses could be unleashed as permafrost melts…www.thesun.co.uk
because movies
People who are obsessed, truly obsessed, with something tend to see it all over the place. It's the nature of an extreme enough level of obsession. So people who are obsessed enough with the idea of race see race all over the place, people who are obsessed enough with penises see penises all over the place (buildings, cars, etc, etc). And so on. In this case, such people will have made themselves incapable of comprehending any motive other than whatever ideas of race they themselves believe in. To them, everything is about race so everything is about race, QED.
The only racist element of the name would be coming from the people objecting to it. That sort of circular fallacy is common amongst the devoutly irrationally prejudiced. Start from the assumption that "whites" are wrong and bad. Make up something wrong and bad and claim "whites" did it (in this case, some fictional racism that doesn't actually exist). Use that made-up thing to "rationalise" the assumption that "whites" are wrong and bad. Or substitute any other group identity, depending on the details of any particular individual's irrational prejudice(s). Of course, the whole idea of unchosen group identity is irrational prejudice and a promoter of more irrational prejudice. That's what it's for. That's why ideologies of irrational prejudice always place such heavy emphasis on the idea of unchosen group identity as if it were objective truth and always try (to varying extents) to segregate what the ideology considers different group identities. If people are allowed to mix freely as equals, they usually realise that the whole idea of group identity, especially unchosen group identity, is a pernicious lie.
Anyone else find this hilarious, not just because some people 'might get offended by it'.and now it's happening
Monkeypox renamed ‘because of racism’
The World Health Organisation said its preferred term for the disease will be ‘mpox’ after reports of racism and stigmatising language.www.standard.co.uk
Next they will have to start renaming animals
But the choice of what they renamed it too? Monkeypox -> mpox. Lol. You'd think if they wanted to get rid of the 'monkey' association they would have chose some other name that is not even close or similar.

Since when does the World Health Organisation vet the contents and nuances of dictionaries and urge changes? Their arrogance is almost as astounding as their leader's dodginess.

You're a tad late, posted it in the Last of Us thread back in March.

ridiculous. I am not deluded enough to think that racism isn't a problem (against all people and colours as well) but Christ on a bike this is just stupid.and now it's happening

Is there anything climate change cannot do?!
it can't make life more pleasant.
The fungal thing is pretty predictable unfortunately (and I think it's something that was being warned about), because as things warm up you get far more chances for what were "tropical" diseases to get a hold in new, often more populated areas because they get warmer.
You see it on a micro scale with things like changes in housing, as we tried to adapt older buildings in the UK to become more energy efficient by doing things like improving their insulation and cutting down on draughts and thus both warming up the houses and trapping more moisture thus increasing the chances of mould taking root.
IIRC the US is starting to get "native" spread malaria this year for what I think is the first time, in at least two widely separated states because as things have got warmer the species of mosquito that can carry it are now able to survive there more readily (and in areas that don't normally have an issue with mosquitos so didn't have to take preventative steps like spraying/hormone traps).
It's also likely we're going to see more cases of transmission of various disease from animals to humans as either we start to move into their areas more to avoid things like flood areas etc, or they start to move into more heavily human habituated areas as their natural environment changes and they follow the food or seek water from human sources.
