I am aware of that EP I am just saying that batters has been introduced soley to be more inclusive and not to offend the woke generation

Solely.

A perfect example of the coarsening of indigenous culture through the importation of cartoon characters' catchphrases.
See also the importation of vaguely-defined and ultimately meaningless culture war phrases such as 'woke.'

SUPER: Use of this word as an intensifier is super irritating.

GOTTEN: That is pure U/S and should be totally rejected, as per "sidewalk" = pavement; "faucet" = tap; etc.

SOCCER: Understandable that they use an alternative because their main sport is (American) football. Not acceptable here though!

One of my own hates. Young people using the word LIKE as a filler or hesitation. Example:
I was, like... and they were, like... and the whole thing was just, like... .. <continues forever>

This 100%

It's like really annoying when someone is like trying to describe what they like and then they're like...........****ing shut up!
