Not really concerned with anything yeti and totally appalled (once again ) by the PB comment section, I have a small comment to make:
Stating that use of language should change every time "A group pointed out that the language being used wasn't respectful to a certain subset of society. Does it matter if that is 1000 people or 1,000,000," is a bit short sighted. There is probably not a single thing or word or concept or thought that wouldn't have some group on the internet who are offended by it. In the case of yetis tribe, being respectful is of course fine, because there is meaningful historical and social context. But I sure hope you don't insist we all stop talking about pasta strainers because the church of the flying spaghetti monster is offended by our mundane use of their holy headgear.
