Perhaps people offended by the usage of master/slave in IT need to understand it isn't talking about people

I’ve now got an image in my head of a new satanic panic around daemons and wizards in IT.

It would at least be a little more understandable, what with the whole aborting, terminating, or killing children before the parents to prevent zombies.

Technically, so does the word 'robot', but it's not from english, so that linguistic connection to slavery doesn't get noticed.
