I think antirez's initial resistance to changing the terminology is reasonable, and obviously doesn't warrant the name-calling. Without a doubt there would be a lot of overhead to change documentation and code.
That said, regardless of the past and ongoing use of master/slave terminology, we should be trying to steer away from it. It's insensitive and just generally unpleasant.

Redis is backwards compatile to v1 - that's an impressive feat! Also, they've included a note on the official position of the project about this in the docs for SLAVEOF https://redis.io/commands/slaveof https://redis.io/commands/slaveof
