“Unconventional” seems like a bad pick to me, too neutral. Clearly the author intends to say something negative about zero-length objects. And of course it is fine dislike things, it is just a matter of not using hurtful language.
There is no possible way to have style without the potential to bother someone. Just write how you feel. If the readers are so offended, they can stop reading. Life will go on.
There are so many less hurtful words, I can’t accept the idea that style requires these particular words. I mean the sentence is clunky with “neurodivergent” anyway, and this unusual use of the word sticks out and is distracting. The style is not improved by this pick.
How about “awful” “asinine” or “shit-tastic” instead?
There's no way to say "this thing is rubbish" without the potential to bother people who like it. But it's entirely possible to say it without pissing off those who don't speak, or have motor disabilities, or like Justin Bieber.
So then just use the n-word? Call disabled people the r-word?
No. You can have style without being offensive. You dont have to punch at someone to have style.
