Or denylist/allowlist to abandon that outdated language.
- djbusby 3y agoI use permit/reject since they have the same number of letters - lines up nice.
- ForkMeOnTinder 3y agoI've seen block/allow used. Same number of letters as black/white.
- poszlem 3y agoWhich (the outdated language) is the language that 99% of the english speaking world still use and which was fine until 5 minutes ago.
- anonym29 3y agoDid you just match the order of the previous poster, associating the word "deny" with a prefix that has been used to harass and marginalize society's most vulnerable for hundreds of years? How dare you?
- frizlab 3y agoOr keep blacklist/whitelist since it comes from black and white which are colors and have nothing to do with race. Rewriting etymology makes no sense IMHO. I kind of understand wanting to get rid of slave/master (though I’m not for it either, after all it is slaves and master when used in IT; we should not be afraid of words, but that’s another rant), but for black and white list it makes no sense to want to get rid of it AFAICT, apart from definitely saying black and white persons are indeed different. When using stupid rules to rule the words, we get stupid things, like people wanting to change the word history to his or herstory. Yes, seriously. We have to stop.
- not_really 3y agoNo.
