To people upset about master/slave in CS terminology I say: fair enough. We can find metaphors for our tools without punching down.
To people upset about CHANGING the terminology: I would ask.. Y so mad?
- _-david-_ 6y agoMy issue is we don't know where this will end. What happens when tomorrow somebody complains about male and female connectors not being inclusive. Should we change the names? What about killing a process? Some people have family members who were killed. Lets change that too. What happens if a person was assaulted by someone with your same name. Should you change your name to appease that person? "I say: fair enough."
