Allowing people to ensure that they're in a mental state to handle a topic before they handle it is reasonably important. Mind, in the case of master/slave, the term "trigger warning" is likely misused and a simple statement of "these used to be the standard terms for discussing this, now many people use leader/follower" is reasonable. Explaining historical context to things that may be upsetting can never be a bad thing, IMHO.

It's annoying that people bring up examples like this to dismiss the concepts entirely, because obviously we can and should have a discussion on when they're useful.
