I work in tech, and one of the things that we learn early on is to not use tech jargon around people who are not also in the tech field because it can alienate them and make them feel stupid.
So while you may have a fully fluent and valid mental construct of parogens and all of the assorted lore attached to that, talking about them as if it were common knowledge to people who have not been exposed to the same information is at best off-putting.
Any word we come up with for parogenenis is gonna confuse normies, because the act itself is fundamentally alien to most people’s experiences. The only way to explain it is to start with the science.

tbf half the point of these communities is to be sheltered and insular. being told off by the wider population only drives people deeper within them.
Yeah, this is true. But I feel like tech is esoteric, whereas metal health and psychology aren’t. Plus the stigmas are different.
