Pig butchering was the literal Chinese translation which is why the name got around to begin with. You find it dehumanizing or whatever then cool but it's not like we drew names out of a hat and landed on that one.

They translated it and used it. That's bad enough. I bet they wouldn't have done so if it translated to the n-word. Translators have agency and should take responsibility.

    For choosing translations that match the topic. The phenomenon being described has nothing to do with pigs or butchering. When naming that thing in english, a better name should be chosen.
