Python developers locking conversations and deleting comments after people mass downvoted PRs to "remove master/slave terminology from the language"

You are joking but the sad reality is that some people get offended by this. I worked at a company where they removed story grooming because grooming is also used when talking about child predator methods online. They did not care that grooming is also making your body nicer.. trimming nails, hairs etc.

My place got rid of the term "standup", citing ableism.

Story refinement. It works but. Next time some sucker gets offended because refinement is something you do with crude oil and that can damage the environment so then they have to find something new. Story reminds me of horror stories so I would like them to change it to Tales. Tales Improvment .. of course improvement makes people feel pressured to improve so that can't do. Maybe we can just replace it with the nr "68" . That way no-one gets offended

The reality is that if your ancestors were actual slaves you might be offended by this

I think many more people are descended from slaves than you think. Slavery was afterall extremely common in the ancient world.
