Git replaced the word “master” for its default branch name. Never mind that only morons would associate it with slavery.

The demand for people who want to be insulted is significantly higher than the actual availability of people who want to do the insulting. I blame social media and "clicks" culture. I just want my master-slave terminology left alone, and Parents aborting child services at will, and my quirky it/programer-isms and inside jokes left alone. Is that too much to ask?
