What would be the name for a quickly spreading allergy to words?

Conservativism?

Conservativism?

If only ;)

Alas, I see that allergy spreading absolutely everywhere and more and more people calling on book (and author) banning for whatever 'good' reason they may have. That's a dangerous allergy, akin to the allergy to the 'other', that may very well be fatal to any democracy no matter the political side one stands for.
