It's downvoted I guess because it's inflammatory and causing conflict/political discussion where there was absolutely none. I.e. We're talking about something innocent like naming servers.

It got as many upvotes as downvotes, actually.

People also name servers after Norse gods, which might be offensive to religious folks. Many naming schemes are not innocent unless you just aren't offended about the particular topic. Here's the thing, though -- once we decided that the metric was whether or not someone could be offended by something, then we made everything offensive. Whoops!
