It should very well hurt you because this is just the worm-up. The moment you start playing this games with language, people will become ever more sensitized and new words will become unspeakable hurting the freedom of speech. Do we now have Master becoming the new M-word? There were also slave owners so are you going to take down the file owner concept now because of 'slavery'? This is so wrong.

Easy question: Nope, because owning things (objects, files) is normal and not related to enslaving a human.
