This is so dumb

To think, somebody somewhere draws a paycheck for thinking up unbelievably stupid shit like this.

Coldest take ever

Is it naive of me to assume this article is trolling? If this is real, I despair for the human race

IT is moving from master/slave to manager/subordinate - so no acronyms have to change.

🤦‍♂️

I can’t speak to this specific article, but work in legal and tech and have heard lots of complaints for “Master Service Agreement” and a lot of folks are phasing out that terminology for the same reason. Similarly there are a lot of people who don’t like the terminology for “slaving a drive” (adding a storage device as a subordinate of another storage drive).

Master Distiller

Master Plumber

Master court of Sommeliers

Master code

Master lock

Master cheif

Master chef

Give me a fucking break, shit is getting out of hand.

Lol. What a fucking lame article. I guess I won’t say master bus when mixing either. I guess we should also stop calling them slave drives in our PCs.

Edit read comments and saw they are phasing out master/slave terms for drives. Jfc.

You forgot masterba… wait that’s one word.

I have never heard of a copy or duplicate recording referred to as a slave.

man/sub for short

God dammit!

I think you meant master debater

One word: clickbait

What are we gonna do about Masta Ace...like he can say but.....?

Can we remove whoever wrote this article first?

It’s a good thing the “woke movement” is purely rational and doesn’t take things too far

I mean, maybe this is a bit much… but also, is it really a hill you want to die on (not that I’m suggesting you’re aggressively against it…maybe you are maybe you aren’t)?

If it bothers some people that much, is it really that big of a deal to maybe phase out that terminology? Maybe the normalization of the word ‘Master’ watered down how fucked up it is for for one human to have that kind of domain over another human? Maybe it didn’t. But I don’t care either way and if we want to not use it, I can get on board with that even if it ultimately doesn’t change much.

absolutely! also- by focusing all their energy on the important problems, they can ignore the billion other issues humanity faces 🙏🏻

50 years ago if one’s sensibilities were that delicate to be offensive easily they would be considered mentally Ill or at least emotionally unstable. Just saying…

There’s a lot of things from 50 years ago that aren’t acceptable today. It’s called progress. You seem really delicate and like you’re offended by people maybe not wanting to use terminology that referred to human enslavement before it was used for pretty much anything else. Which is a problem still present in the world today, so maybe those words should continue to have the gravity of what they refer to as to not minimize the problem that it still is.

Changing the terminology we use has little impact on your life. So again, is that the hill you really want to die on? You seem awfully sensitive about it, and the rest of us are fully capable of saying “yeah, that makes sense” and moving the fuck on. Just sayin…

Nice try manipulating my words to your benefit, snowflake!

I guess you are also concerned about all the slaves who are right this minute working for you (you probably have no idea)?

You’re proving my point with your reactions here. This is easy. Just move on. Or continue to get all worked up. I really don’t care. Only bothered to reply on the tiny shred of hope you might think about this later and realize it wasn’t worth getting all pissy about.

You’re not my enemy. I don’t hate you. Just put yourself in someone else’s shoes every now and then, yeah?

Ok, why then did you threaten my life because I hold a different opinion than you? Not very politically correct of you. Lucky for you, I don’t give a damn so I am not offended of worried.

You are not my enemy either, I’m just railing about words in many different contexts being banned because they were once used in a specific context that oppressed people.

Do you also want to ban books and control other aspects of how people think?

You’re not offended because you’re being disingenuous and know that “is this the hill you want to die on” is a common English expression. As should be apparent by our lack of a “hill”. You can’t make a sound argument against my points, so you deferred to attacking something that has nothing to do with the arguments being made. It’s a distraction technique, and you know it.

Quit your bullshit.

You quit your bullshit. I’m 100% real, no bullshit
