Thinking Masters of The Universe is next

Or maybe Masters Degree? What's up with that?

So, does that mean when we get a new version of a classic film that it will be "re-mained"?

It will also mean all those kung-fu masters in various movies will now be renamed to kung-fu mains.

This is stupid beyond description......

Dumbest thing ever. Who else got slavery flashbacks when installing IDE drive where you had to set secondary drive as SLAVE and the first drive was MASTER? Yeah, no one fucking ever. This dumb catering to overly sensitive perpetually triggered people is idiotic. Go and solve actual inequalities or real social problems, not manufactured outrage on things that are just words with no real hateful meaning.

Oh well...

I'd honestly love to see some real, actual statistics on how many non-white techies have ever been offended or felt uneasy from the use of terms like whitelist, blacklist, master and slave in the context of programming or electronics. So far I haven't seen one, single tweet or comment from a non-white person to that effect, but I've seen plenty of tweets and comments calling this whole thing idiotic. Heck, one black dev said he's now feeling uncomfortable and uneasy, because he had never even thought about such idiotic connotations, but now he won't be able to forget about it because of this white-knighting mess!
