It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

Token Ring barely avoids copyright/trademark litigation.

Daisy Chain fits with Dom/Sub.

Or we could go full millenial reddit with Bull/Cuck

Or full MAGA with Man/Woman

Funny how people get heated over things that don't matter. OK, it has been one way for a long time. But had it been Parent/Child the same amount of time, would it be any different?

As long as you know the meanings of what is used, it doesn't matter what they are. If someone would rather not use master/slave, let them. No one is stopping you from making a choice to keep using it. You also might have to interact with consequences for that choice, but that's what you get for working with other people. 🫠

Considering how many tech enthusiasts are Femboys using the terms Dom and Sub sounds like a good idea :3

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
