"dom-sub" makes a lot of sense, honestly; catch me using that in my next project. I would object to "torturer-victim" because it doesn't properly describe the relationship.
- bazeblackwood 8y agoNo, not "dom", "dominatrix". And is your project a popular open-source project? Or will you be committing to a code base at a large corporation? Feel free to screenshot the pull request when you do, otherwise I'll have to assume you're casually bluffing.
- platinumrad 8y agoWhy would I use "dominatrix" when "dom" is shorter? Seriously though, "dom", and "master" are fairly generic terms. "dominatrix" and "torturer" are needlessly specific to point that they don't accurately describe the relationship anymore. >And is your project a popular open-source project? Yeah I'm Linus lol.
- tvmalsv 8y agoI literally chuckled when I saw your message because I actually thought about using dom/sub when I saw the '"dominatrix"-"submissive"' message, and there's the bonus of it being more symmetrical and less typing than master/slave. The deal killers being that it's less readable due to the lack of established usage and that it doesn't define the relationship as clearly as master/slave. It feels like "dominant" might imply that it has authority in most cases, but not every case.
