Just use main. I'm not bothered by either, but I'm not in the demographic that would be bothered by master, so I use main and STFU. It takes way less effort to switch to main (if you haven't already) than to come up with all this rhetoric about why master shouldn't trigger people.

    That's why we switched, on both closed- and open-source projects. There's just no winning an argument that puts you on the same side as racists.

    At one point I was considering how, if someone asked on one of our public repos, I'd say "no" but at the same time post a receipt for a donation to the NAACP just to prove I wasn't racist. Thankfully I realized how stupid an idea that was before it came to that.

    Performative wokeness is a cancer, man. Did any of this arguing and vitriol actually help any marginalized group in STEM? I really fucking doubt it.
