@joshua I don’t think you should fear the word in every context. I confess that I don't know everything here – I think there was an element of subtooting, right? – so I'm responding to your initial mentioning of dark pattern. I agree that the use of the word “dark" in every context is not a bad thing, but if someone tells me they don’t like me using it in a specific context, I'm going to listen to them. I don't know who said it to you; maybe they’re speaking out of turn on behalf of others?
