I bet their outrage is actually from things like:
- Being told the term "you guys" is a micro-aggression that disenfranchises marginalized peoples.
- Being scolded for using the term "man hours."
- Being around people who think that a red hand at a crosswalk is emblematic of systemic racism.
- Working with people who look down at spending Thanksgiving with family, and instead rant about how you're celebrating the murder of the native peoples.
... and any other similar non-issue that psychos left and right today are touting as the biggest issues facing people today.
- kelukelugames 11y agoNo, I was there. That didn't happen. I think you are falling for what the medium article described.
- ebola1717 11y agoThe whole point of the article is that all of those usually go "Hey, we should refer to our db nodes as the primary and secondaries, cause master & slave has some historical baggage" "Yeah, K, not really a big deal" Not "OMG YOU CALLED THE DB NODE SLAVE YOU'RE RACIST ARRHRHRGRGRGGRGR"
- seattle_spring 11y agoThen I disagree with the premise of the article, and the dozen or so friends on my Facebook feed that attended Mt Holyoke are proof that this sort of outrage is a real thing.
- exstudent2 11y agoI think this is a great example of what I mention up thread. kelukelugames helped to spread the outrage with their tone and dog whistles about "privilege". seattle_spring then picked it up and ran with it. Had kelukelugames presented their argument in a less troll-y way, the outrage may have reached a temporary endpoint instead of spreading.
