Rational actions are defined by the society that judges it.
Twitter is an American company.
If you feel like you have to "walk on eggshells" then maybe you're not a cultural fit for the company.
If you're working at a company like Twitter, GitHub etc. Then you should have some pretty good career mobility.
These companies aren't the only ones in the world.
If you want to work at a place that will push back against changing master / slave terminology then there's a sizable amount of people that feel the same way.
I stated that what is rational is subjective of the context of the culture.
You don't have a right to a job, it's not oppression if people do things you don't like that don't impact your life.
Using "SJW" unironically? How is it taking over the US when the majority of government is socially conservative?
You're effectively parroting the majority opinion and acting like the victim.
"I gotta walk on eggshells, if I say the wrong word they'll fire me"
Many reasons, including a very (distorted) US centric view of the world, going overboard with emotions instead of rationality (words are generally tied to context), and now people have to walk on eggshells or they'll lose their jobs if they speak the "wrong" word.
