The word ‘demure’ has recently sparked a social media backlash, with users growing increasingly frustrated by its overuse in online discussions.
While some have adopted the term, associating it with qualities like mindfulness and cuteness, others argue that it’s being misapplied or overly romanticized.
Critics feel that the constant use of ‘demure’ to describe various behaviors or personalities is reductive, failing to capture the complexity of individual identities. This growing discontent has led to a broader call among social media users to retire the trend and move on to more nuanced language.
Some feel that the word’s frequent use has diluted its original meaning, making it less impactful in describing true modesty or reserve.
