It's the naive approach. The same approach that gets Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer banned even though they were very egalitarian for the time.

I'm substantially more worried about returning to a society with openly enforced taboos.

I thought we had left that in the past century, but I was clearly too optimistic.

The trick is to not have taboo topics.

No, I'm sure if we ignore the problem long enough it will go away eventually.

Sure it is, it's been successfully used to oppress people for ages.
