What's weird is that you can't find references to a slave equivalent that are okay in America, but calling your boss a "slave master" for working you too hard is fine, at least from what I've heard.

Good dammit, just let my two MySQL servers play their consensual BDSM role play!
I mean, if they like to call each other that, your thing is not my thing, but your thing is okay too. -
I probably went like that in someone's head: "ok so I'm real shit with programming but I really want to feel important and piss off people by taking established terminology out of context. What should I do?"

hjk10157314yThere is nothing racial about master slave. Same with blacklist whitelist. Black and white screen. Green lit red lit.
I'm convinced however you can make anything race.
MySQL sound like it's owned by white slave masters. MariaDB stores a long heritage of Semitic oppression all the way to the holocaust. And don't get me started on the logo of postgresql: every African and Indian should be offended by that elephant graveyard.
Fuck you snowflakes, get a real job like documenting history so it doesn't repeat itself. Yeah here in the Netherlands we celebrate a holiday with black slaves (and get taught how and what the fuck happend). In the US they complain about our holiday but change history books, enslave coloured people trough prison/voting system and outright kill them on the streets. -
jaylord4544yHow about white spaces? Why aren't there any spaces for black folk? Huh?
All in all. Its up to a person to attach a negative feel to a word 🧐 when there's nobody actually suffering, then what are we trying to solve here?
Hurr durr master-slave is racist blacklist is racist robot is racist ('cause in some language it apparently means "slave"...?)
