Just to add to this, there's all kinds of wild and wacky ways something that seems fine can actually be not-that-fine. For example, when I worked for Microsoft I learned all about how when a product interfaces with people in the PRC, we needed to make sure we don't refer to Taiwan as an independent nation. And there's thousands of little rules like this (e.g., don't use "0xdeadbeef" in places that hold cows to be sacred). So you either make sure you're following all the rules in a sophisticated manner, or you optimize for least offense and move on.
- qwerty456127 3y agoThis makes sense for a general business scenario yet for me I want (I bring this up about myself because I assume I hardly am unique - the same proobably applies to many) to be treated with assumption I am sufficiently psychologically mature to calmly ignore whatever said to me I strongly disagree or dislike. E.g. whenever a person, let alone a machine says something bad about a deity I worship I just say to myself "that's Ok - they just don't understand, or it can be me who is wrong - I respect their right to believe different". Going instantly mad in such a case is a symptom of infantilism and assuming I am such a kind of a person is what feels much more annoying/insulting.
