The whole point of the article is that all of those usually go

"Hey, we should refer to our db nodes as the primary and secondaries, cause master & slave has some historical baggage"

"Yeah, K, not really a big deal"

Not

"OMG YOU CALLED THE DB NODE SLAVE YOU'RE RACIST ARRHRHRGRGRGGRGR"

Then I disagree with the premise of the article, and the dozen or so friends on my Facebook feed that attended Mt Holyoke are proof that this sort of outrage is a real thing.

I think this is a great example of what I mention up thread. kelukelugames helped to spread the outrage with their tone and dog whistles about "privilege". seattle_spring then picked it up and ran with it. Had kelukelugames presented their argument in a less troll-y way, the outrage may have reached a temporary endpoint instead of spreading.
