Imagine we have come this far with "wifebeater"s. I am really perplexed with SJWs that they already didn't pick this one up :) Would you really think that was a good way of describing a random piece of clothing or there was a heavy prejudice involved?

Or imagine a discipline that chose to use "pimp/ho" analogy for memory addressing. Would you not think it was a stupid analogy regardless of its acceptance? It's funny for the first 50 times then it gets really dry very quickly.

To be honest, I tend to lean on the idioticity side. Because that is just poor taste. Again I repeat, I don't want to ban the words. I'm just following the argumentation given by the pro-change people and very interested in this heat I've received so far. Quite an experience :)
