Seems easy enough to imagine who would be offended by the use of terms “orphans” and “dead children,” and why they would prefer not to bring it up constantly.

- luckylion 6y agoThe issue is that you can have that with nearly every term that has some meaning. Leader/follower? But I've once met a terrible Leader and they had many followers that made my life hell. If the argument is "but that's only true for very few people": what percentage of the population (or the subset of the population that is programming) does need to be affected before it needs to be changed? Orphans aren't that common either, neither is losing a child.
