Yeah, exactly and also if you mention the Gaza genocide on Wikipedia without putting in a billion allegeds then you’ll also be banned, the article you linked even admits the definition has changed throughout history to refer to different things.
You are systematically dismantling your arguments in favor of the term being vague. “Tankie” is vague because it’s a word for a label and the underlying concept being referred to can be very different when different people say it.

It even has a section on how its used on the internet!
Its almost like language isnt static, and has history beyond a one line deffitnition!

And thats true for a lot of the English langagr.
In fact it can even be geographical, like the word faggot. But its still clear when its a slur and when its a cigarette.
There’s the entire history and usage on that page for you.
Also, my original point was that op didn’t look for a definition and just decided to bitch about it. Not about a specific definition.
