It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    My user name on all my PC’s(non root) is literally Master, my PC’s are all Slave, slave1, slave2. I will fight to keep them that way. I am also extremely anti slavery for sentient creatures. Words matter in the context of their intent. Dumbing down of the language by forcing alternate uses of a word to mean something other than its obvious intended use is evidence of dilusional minds. Pure and simple, they don’t deserve a seat at the table.

      Weird hill to die on. Language changes. Some people think it’s how new ideas are not only shared but how they’re formed. You might be interested in Latin.

      No one gives a shit what you call your PCs. They’re not rounding up a posse to come and forcefully rename them. Just take a breath.

      And while you’re unbarricading the door the rest of the world will be moving on.
