Subject: bug#42401: 28.0.50; gnus-slave renamed to gnus-child
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2020 08:26:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y2nj7zr3.fsf@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 87y2nj7zr3.fsf.ref@yahoo.com
For some reason, gnus-slave has been renamed to gnus-child without
appropriate aliases. Reacting to the latest ridiculousness occuring in
society is already stupid, but breaking backwards compatibility for them
is even worse. The term `slave' used in the `gnus-slave' sense has no
connotations towards racism or slavery. Similarly, the term
`gnus-child' has no connotations towards adult-ism or child
'oppression', if we ever get to that. Instead of changing things at
random, why don't we just stick with one name that works? I doubt it's
possible to find any term that doesn't become offensive at one point.
(P.S: I'm asian and I find the face `term-color-yellow' offensive /s)
