I’d argue that abolishing the term “slave” isn’t the worst idea, implying that the word “master,” only in context where it’s paired with “slave,” should go as well - but that, of course, requires nuance, which a simple word filter lacks.
Why abolish the word slave? I’ve heard of people advocating for abolishing the word “black” also. It’s crazy to me. I don’t understand how using the word at all somehow advocates for human slavery.
It draws unfortunate parallels.
I do agree that the proposals to abolish “black” feel a bit misguided though surely well-intentioned; the etymology of “blacklist,” for example, has no relation to race whatsoever. However, there are unfortunate parallels with how “black” and “white” people were and indeed are still treated differently.
And yet there’s a big push to rename git “master” branches, which have no slave connotations and are more analogous to master recordings.
Its not like I’ll fight it, but it’s stupid.
I thought it was dumb too but, to be honest, I kind of prefer using “main” now. It’s quicker to type lol
This. To avoid the “master” branch on our git to be associated with “slave” I now name new branches “bitch”
Just skip the intermediate naming conventions and go straight to
dom/sub
