Most opensource project issue trackers now experiencing same.
Master/slave? Some internet forums are, discussing that surely
tickets must now too be filed across all OSS projects demanding
removal some of the newly approved words (and even more old ones
not yet found analysed and latched on by triggersphere) such as 'dependant',
'dependency', 'child', etc for being say extremely debilitating triggers
regarding many peoples and nations former status and horrible experiences
while as such or under such authoritarian forces, and are noting oddity
why SJWs are not filing those tickets too, opening possible reality their
raging being symptom apparent that maybe need therapy, some love puddles,
attention at their time to address some self issues on those words... or not.
What is the word graph there among the various camps. As they saying, who knows.
But does seem they forgot to destroy some devices in their PC's first
to set proper example.
Now they know and can stage protest showcasing their action therein to youtube.
And must destroy whole PC too because the firmware, CPU, manufacturers are
all littered with such words... their entire machine is one big
trigger baked in silicon ;)

Of far more important matter to this forum...
Remember, authoritarians also deploying some of the same SJW
style methods to condition you susceptible so that you will remove
strong crypto, decentralization, privacy, p2p, anonymity,
cryptocurrency, distributed voluntary cooperation, etc...
the very cypherpunk cryptoanarchism... from your code.
Be aware of that, don't fall susceptible,
continue writing the cypherpunk code of cryptoanarchism.
May it yield a more free peaceful forceless loving world.

I strongly suspect the people who are pushing for these things
fall into two camps. The first camp are people who genuinely want to
control the language, and by proxy, thought. These are very dangerous
people and should be resisted at all times.
I have never experienced danger of any kind from people who try to reduce triggering language (which is not the only thing going on). The word "trigger" is from professional therapy practices for _victims_ of excessive violence.
The second camp are people
who genuinely want to do something so they can be a part of this
current trend and feel like they are participating in a meaningful
way. These are ordinary decent people, but are certainly influenced by
the bluster and actions of the first camp.
Here's the thing, though. If you're in the second camp, your
actions will not save you from the first camp. The authoritarians in
the first camp are fundamentally about control, and if you stand in
We must resist control by not choosing sides, and I erred by not providing a third option of mediating between the two sides, in my previous email. It takes more energy to mediate; it might be good to safely centralize the effort somehow of not choosing sides.
their way, your past actions will mean nothing. Anything less than
complete subservience to whatever ideology is currently in vogue in
the first camp, is treated as a viral attack and is stamped out with
extreme prejudice. Your past capitulation will not serve you in the
future.
Nobody--at least nobody with a lick of sense or
proportion--actually thinks that changing "master/slave" to something
else will accomplish anything of substance or real value. It's
Adding a little acknowledgement to the reference could show enslaved people who stumble upon a word they can never ignore, that freedom exists.
nothing
more than a publicity stunt to demonstrate that you are not like those
people over there, the racists. It's a signal of your adherence to the
new narrative, nothing more. The authoritarians in the first camp will
acknowledge your signal, and they now know that later you will be more
likely to accept the next click on the ratchet. Make no mistake,
however; when they ratchet it too far for you, nothing you did in the
past will save you.
It's the behavior of cults, and used to great effect at
controlling behavior. What's surprising is how many tech people are
susceptible to it.
