Yeah. "THEY'RE JUST WORDS YOU GUYS. NOBODY CARES. GET OVER IT. What do you mean you want me to use a new word? THIS WORD IS IMPORTANT AND YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF IT. YOU'RE NOT ITS REAL MOM." Or whatever.
If people really thought that words and language were no big deal and should be easy to blow off, they'd be more ready to adjust their own language because they wouldn't think that their bullshit bustedness was worthy of being so attached to and defensive of.
I suspect what they really mean is, "YOU'RE JUST (insert slur) YOU GUYS. NOBODY CARES."
