While it's true that genocide is a somewhat ambiguous term, it's widely used and most people understand the intended meaning behind it. I do think that calls to avoid using the term from western media are in fact malicious. These calls come from the same publications that had no problems using the term in the context of Ukraine, and they're certainly not going to switch to using a more descriptive term like extermination.

They want people to stop using it for actual genocides so they can call every action of the enemies of the west a "genocide" their calls to "stop using it" are calls to allow them to redefine the word to just mean "everything our enemies do"
