Yeah by vocal minority I meant (((those in power))) and those empowered by them.

The opinions of the majority don't matter.

All we can do is demand that they define the rules. That will take a tiny bit of thier power away.

If people are unorganized, then yes, their opinion indeed doesn't matter. Not necessarily will that that take away their power though, with better definitions you can stay at neutral position at best, going around definitions will always be a thing. The best thing you can do is political organization.

You need a nucleation point to organize people. Forcing (((them))) to contradict thier own definitions makes thier abuse more obvious and allows criticism, dissent, and ultimately a rallying point.
