Sure. But, people still know what the words mean, right? You don't get offended by all the racism in Uncle Tom's cabin, and want to ban the book, right? You wouldn't get offended if someone cosplayed as a black elf, would you?

Or, maybe you would. People are, after all, fucking morons. Myself included. I don't really care if I have to call a branch main or master, just so that's clear. But it's 100% a fucking stupid reason for the change, and anyone who thinks that matters in any way, I'll think less of, and probably avoid in social settings.
