Overuse in the media of the word " vulnerable ".
I never hear friends or family using this word to describe someone.
As an example, is it not possible nowadays to describe someone as physically or mentally disabled . Or is the v word used as a one size fits all to cover any human condition.

It is seen as negative terminology nowadays, so in print or "proper" online news articles, no, you will very rarely see that phraeoloigy.

It is rather.

Overuse and mispronunciation of the word ‘vulnerable’. Generally I hear ‘vunrubble’.
