MODERATORS
Regardless of those two terms being harmful, it’s good to use more incisive terms that point toward the problems with their thinking or attitudes.
Incurious, small-minded, duped, bereft of imagination, ill-informed, whatever. If it’s framed as a specific thing that someone is being rather than something they are intrinsically, maybe there’s a chance that someone listening identifies that in themselves and sees a chance to get better.
Or maybe this is just an excuse to have more fun with words, iunno
