a marketing program begun in 1973 by the Campbell Soup Company in the United States, and later also in Canada. The program allowing schools to earn books, musical instruments, computers, and other school supplies in exchange for labels or Universal Product Codes (UPCs) on associated products
The Campbell's Soup Company announced in February 2016 it would be ending the Labels for Education program, citing declining participation. After July 31, 2016, no new schools could enroll in the program, and only UPCs with the Labels for Education logo would be valid for redemption

Get the mountain dew black label mug.
Hym "That is an apt way of putting it. It's 'a fraudulent re-labeling racket' Where you take me ideas, call them something else, and launder them out. And then, when someone questions you about it you can just re-label the person you're doing it to into a class of people who anything is justified against. A 'Neo-Nazi' and, therefore, you can ignore their rights. And when that doesn't work you can guilt by association fallacy the person defending them."

high functioning and low functioning are both common medical term which are actually very harmful to use.
they're often used to measure how easy disabled people are to interact with and not actually how their disorder affects them.
when someone is labelled as high functioning, people assume they have no struggles whatsoever, so they don't look out for them. and then they might have a meltdown or burnout because they've had to push through those feelings all of the time.
and when someone is labelled as low functioning, people assume they're stupid or something along those lines, so they baby low functioning people. even when they're full-grown adults!
(when i use the term "disabled" i mean anyone who is affected by a learning disability or anything similar, if my usage of this term comes off as offensive, just know that i apologise, but i am saying all of this as a disabled person, so ofc i wouldn't use that term to purposefully harm anyone!)

Person 1: so you have high functioning autism?
Person 2: on the outside that may be true for you, but on the inside life is very difficult for me, so i'd prefer if you didn't force functioning labels on me and just do your best to support me instead.
P1: oh crap, sorry man, thanks for explaining

LGBTQ+ (usually) labels that seem to contradict each other, used simultaneously.
A few examples: straight gay, lesboy, turigirl, afab trans woman, etc.
These identities don't have to make sense to you, as labels are meant to reflect one's own perception of themselves. Plus, language and culture are constantly evolving.
Remember: diminishing other queer people for having atypical experiences is ultimately unhelpful in our acceptance.
Sometimes, these labels are used to better describe someone's experiences with gender and sexuality — for example, an intersex AFAB woman may still identify as transgender because they feel it best describes them.

A family that cares more about labels/brands than it does their income, financial success, and health and happiness of their family.
