With all the actual problems in the world, it's amazing how much energy gets wasted on idiotic stuff like this.

There are actual concentration camps in China TODAY.

So sad.

What I find ever more insane is how much energy people spend fighting it, writing paragraphs and paragraphs of argumentation.

"That sounds far-fetched to me but I can vaguely imagine that these terminologies aren't helpful in these times, lemme search-and-replace, done"

And even more insane is how people can completely disregard common sense and their own opinion and blindly obey an idea that sounds far-fetched to them just to placate easily-offended people—even if it's just copy/paste (which it isn't, if anything because people will need to re-learn an API).
