I agree words only have the meanings we give them and don't have any inherent power unless we give them power. But here's the thing. We can't count on everybody just dropping the negative meaning of a word. Even if everyone here agreed to embrace the old meaning of Isis (IE the god Isis) we'd still look fucking bonkers to everybody outside our circle.
To put it bluntly this isn't a free speech issue, it's you trying to give muh waifu a shit name. Please stop.
