North America and Northern Europe truly is a bizarre weird place. People have been brainwashed by ideology and propaganda to their point that their cognition has warped.
I believe it is a part of collapse of the western societies, and I don't think it is something that will stay, because it is enforced and holds back progress in similar way to bike shedding, which leads to less agility which leads to hard times and then people will abandon all.
Luckily this ideology seems limited to the west and is not prevalent in Russia or China.

When it comes to moving Git off "master" as the default name of the main code branch, Git 2.28 has additional work in this area too. The name of the primary branch in existing repositories and the default name for newly-created repositories is made configurable with Git 2.28. As said by Git maintainer Junio Hamano, "so that we can eventually wean ourselves off of the hardcoded 'master'."
Pathetic.
Literally no one cared about it for the first 15 years of git development, but now all of a sudden they do...?

Eh... Years ago (and I mean 10+ years ago), there was a simple request from management that we move to new terminology at my old company. It was a cheap and straightforward process - just part of other standard marketing and terminology changes.
I'm surprised that the younger generation have so much of a hard time with living in the 21st Century. Though they'd no doubt have a hard time dealing with the rigours of the 19th or 16th Century social etiquette as well...

Apparently certain people mistake words for the practices they describe. And then think using the word itself is wrong. That is non-sense.
The word slave is not wrong in itself. In communication protocols it refers to the party answering to a request from the master. Slavery itself, is not necessarily immoral, ants hold slaves. It's not very sympathetic, but neither is a lion killing a deer. Morality doesn't apply to ants. The immorality applies only to when people hold other people as slaves.
We need to realize that we need words to describe the world we live in and as bad things happen in the world, we need words to describe those too.
It makes no sense to blacklist the words themselves. It fact that might even be detrimental as that would help to erase the black pages from our history. We (the Dutch) have been slave traders and will have to live with that shame forever. Erasing the instances of 'black' in the preceding sentences will only ease our own conscience but not make up for the people whose lives we have destroyed.
