Great, now everyone can pat themselves on the back and relax now we've fully embraced cancel culture and find instances of these very naughty words to be outraged about.
Oh, and I find subordinate offensive, just because.
Congratulations to the Linux kernel for fixing a systemic issue by changing some words, now we can pretend the issue doesn't exist at all! :-)
Maybe we should just replace Linus Torvalds whilst we're at it with someone black, just like they did over at Reddit, which clearly fixed all the problems when a white man retired in protest.
(How can I flag my own post before anyone else does? By tomorrow I'm expecting to come back and see this text replaced with [flagged] as you can't post anything controversial anymore. I see as of this edit I'm on 12 points, that'll be -10 I am sure when the dust settles. Feel free to cancel me and my account if you want HN crowd, I'll just make another).

Not good enough. > Congratulations to the Linux kernel for fixing a systemic issue by changing some words, No one claimed that. > you can't post anything controversial anymore. This isn't "controversial." It's snide and deliberately obtuse.
