You're right, master/slave and the new blacklist/whitelist demands did not have two years between them, not even this post is two years old.

Both of those have been discussions for much longer than two years. There's at least a decade of discussions around those two examples.
Edit: closer to two decades - in 2003 LA asked electronics manufacturers not to use the language. Presumably this was first discussed by the community. In the mid aughts, Microsoft was using allowlist/deny list.
So, hardly a recent phenomena, and certainly not every two years. Yes, some projects have been faster or slower to adopt replacements for these terms, which is why you have seen a few discussions in the past few weeks on HN.
