I  refuse to be censored in the use of a manufactured word for a type 
of imaginary fantasy person. IMO your attitude shows an unfortunate
tendency for confusing fiction and reality and is exactly the sort of
obsessive PC thought control and lack of a sense of proportion that 
my original post was intended to hold up to ridicule. 
If you go searching for something to be offended by, you are certain
to find it; to the suspicious everything is suspect and paranoia sets the
standards. 

I'm also amused by your implication that it is more acceptable when
used for people you don't like. Self-imposed double standards, or what?
