Idk why it bothers me so much that the author felt it necessary to change the quote to “[complain]” like what gives you the right to change someone’s words because they make you uncomfortable?

That's not the purpose. Generally, they're quotes from verbal interviews and people can say things aloud that make sense but don't when written verbatim so they do this to make it clear.

No, the purpose is to make it PC. He said people like to bitch, author changed it to people like to complain. It’s not a clarity thing, the meaning was obvious
