I find "banning" perfectly fine words, that everyone understands, because they offend some people / are used by some to offend people, utterly stupid. And it goes beyond words, such as what happened with VSCode's Santa Hat flamewar.
We are incredibly lucky to be a part of this miracle called life. We don't have much time here. It doesn't need to have a purpose, but if you do choose to have a purpose in life, it shouldn't be coming up with ways of "getting offended".
It makes sense to get offended by someone, but to get offended by this-month's-offending-word is a waste.
It's very sad that companies listen to and are afraid of the swarms of internet flamers that have nothing better to do with their time.
If this was a racist thing, why for 15 years no one complained about it until now? Linus Torvalds created git. He also made Linux. Should we stop using Linux because it was apparently made by a fascist bigot?
If we are forced to stop using certain words because some idiots attached negative meaning to them, then the racists won.
Seriously, this is a problem with the English language, not the software.
