Am I the only one who finds this shit funny to know end?
Sooner or later they'll rewrite history books with master and slave changed to leader and follower, then people'l have a real reason to be offended.
>>
>>54833231
What happens when leader and follower become offensive too? Not everyone is so privileged to become a 'leader' after all. You shouldn't criticize, demean, or dehumanize them to call them a 'follower'!

Ignorant trash like you are the cause of most of the world's problems actually.
>>
>>54833334
Instead of calling them manual pages, how about we call them guide pages and then people run gui?

I worked at a small company which produced hi fi equipment for 18 months and we had this policy of no "male" or "Female" it was A and B, but naturally everybody forgot which was A and which was B and it was a huge cluster fuck and there were logistics problems everywhere.

They eventually got new management and reverted to male and female and presto the problem went away
>>
why are they called MAN pages? They should be called WOMAN pages
>>
>>54833840

fucking football chav scum, go back to your council estate

I'm guessing male connectors were A. Were there people who asked why female connectors weren't A?

wouldn't Penis and Vagina but less problematic?
>>
>>54835124
I honestly can't remember, I am sure there was a huge meeting about which was which and why that took place before I worked there, it was just a big mess and literally everybody hated it except the company owners who were too busy patting themselves on the back
>>
>>54835151
the word penis triggers me
>>
>>54834314
>>
>>54835188
The word vagina triggers most autists on this site, so I guess it balances out.
>>
Race condition
>>
>>54835151
that's oppressive since all forms of intercourse are rape.
The correct terms for connectors are "rapist" and "victim"
>>
>>54833132
Yes, "Germany" is pretty offensive indeed
>>
>>54836410
I agree. Instead of them calling it "deutscheland" which implies its only for the deustch people or deutsch speaking people, they need to call it "everyoneland" to make it a real multicultural place!
>>
>>54836496
wow, i never realized how xenophobic the name 'deutchsland' really is

I also got that africa is a shit hole, and american ships should be allowed guns under the second amendment.
Seriously, if that ship was an american home then the movie would have been over within 30 seconds of the african dingy (minivan?) showing up.
