By enough people do you mean in general or just hexbear? Because one is definitely doable even if the other isn’t. Plus we already have a different term that is heavily used already which is the global south. So what’s the problem?

I mean in general, though I'm already starting to see people use the global South pejoratively.

I haven’t seen that. Even if people were using it negatively it’s different when global south nations are actually in the middle of a modern de colonization movement and winning wars against their oppressors. At that point it’s just a bunch of crackers being mad their troops aren’t as good as what they were told. But like I said, the main point is I don’t really see the need for continuing to use third world to describe these places. I also don’t see the need to fight about it, you can say whatever you want, but I think the need to continue to say third world says something about you.
