Similarly, "invalidating" has also lost it's meaning and I believe the most correct equivalent would be "making people feel bad".

From what I've seen, it just seems to mean not supporting anyone unconditionally. It's the woke purity spiral of not debating and simply conforming to "be nice" - it doesn't have to be a question that makes anyone feel bad.

Pretty much. And the person gets to decide how much you invalidated them. Also "being nice" or "respectful" or "tolerant" in these contexts is so fucking fake. It actually means "permissible" aka being a pushover with no boundaries.
