I renamed my master branch
slaveowner. To make it more clear.It is software, my friends. It’s not a tribe of people.
Not gonna lie, the master branch thing has been perceived as problematic but I don't typically see an issue with it. It's similar to master bedroom or bath. ~~Kind of fucked up name origin, but~~ I don't think anyone's really making a fuss about it.
Whatever the fuck you're doing though feels like some gross, racist fantasy. It's really weird, dude. If you think that's funny you might need to go talk to some real people or touch grass.
Master bedroom and master bath also have nothing to do with slavery.
Master's degrees though — racist as fuck.
