No I think it was a cognitive bias, why are you importing blame?
People who so vehemently defend calling something a blacklist instead of a blocklist are very suspicious to me. Similar energy to defending calling a woman female.

I wrote out a full reply to what you said, but I started to realise that I don't believe that you're being ingenuous. My gut feeling is this is a false flag operation to turn people [vehemently] against the very real cause of fighting racism and social injustice, or just a bad joke, or both
fear of the dark equally fits this profile. is that offensive?
>why randomly call it a black list if you're not appealing to this culture?
do you think the author asked himself: "how can I import a harmful cultural theme into my work today?" or could it be that blacklist and whitelist are the common usage terms for lists of disallowed and allowed members of a group?
