It could be a parody or not, but until the writer states so, you cant be sure.
From my point of view, its a pretty bad idea.
Master / Slave is used in nearly every system ranging from basic integrated circuits using a bus (SPI, I2C, ...) up to multi cluster database systems.
It has a clearly defined function and and everyone in tech knows what it means. It doesnt matter if youre from USA, England, Germany oder Iran. A master/slave system has a clearly defined behavior.
Trying to bring feelings into the clean technical world it one of the most stupid things i can think of.
In this case, it only affects the documentation of a project, but in other cases, trying to be politically correct has destroyed lifes of people.
