Seriously... someone so stupid to not even be able to place words in a context would probably always find something to rant about, whatever censorship you could think of...


How is changing documentation to more accurately reflect its behavior censorship?

Do you think whitespace commits are censorship? Both make for better reading and more accurate representations of our technology.


That is not what is being done here. A small minority is feigning outrage at the potential for offense because of a commonly used term that everyone understands. Let's call a horse a horse folks. Don't shift the goal posts here. You and those on your side are attempting to police language in a space where it is clearly not needed solely to show others how virtuous you are. It's disgusting, it's immoral, and there is no place for it here in this discussion. This discussion is about software, not social justice.
