The word “utilitarian” is already terrible (everything past the first four letters is a jumble of suffix); even if “utilitarianist” were a real word, it would be better not to use it.
I wonder how hard it would be to convince everyone (or at least a substantial minority of everyone) to switch to “utilist” or something equally concise.

I’d prefer to switch everyone to abandoning “utilitarian” entirely as a ridiculous (and abhorrent) value system that doesn’t deserve the privilege it seems to be granted by frequent reference.
Is “total utilitarianist” a thing (distinct from “total utilitarian)”?
