Those are EXACTLY the ones we were thinking of, plus like 5 more. Paro-, Pario, , and para-, are all really common ones and we still dont remember what they mean without having to look it up. Not good design for a community that Infamously has memory trouble.

Yeah the Panopticon thing is just one drop in the bucket, if the only problem was Panopticon wed still use it because terms Can be taken from their terrible creators and all and Panopticon doesnt own the concept of 'agnostic', but even using it is still playing into the idea that origins is something that Needs To Be Said, and needs to be said right off the bat.
Origins theory talk is SO PERSONAL to so many people, it tends to involve very sensitive information in so many cases and can be used to identify people and its just... Honestly if someone is pushy about asking origins we assume they want the information for questionable reasons because why else would someone NEED to know that kind of personal information in a situation where its not directly relevant?
