> There is a move to rename the crime to "financial grooming" because the term "pig butchering" is an intentional form of victim shaming. Anyone who is still using the term pig butchering should be immediately discredited.

Your first sentence was fine, although I disagree that the term is intentional victim shaming.

But you came into a forum where people know term A, and went on full blast with "anyone who is still using (well known) term A instead of term B (that many people didn't even know exists) should be immediately discredited."

That's needlessly aggressive and doesn't really help get your message across.
