If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

A master-drivetrain and a slaved-drivetrain .... its not about slavery. I dont understand why people have to be so sensitive. We know human slavery is bad. So we dont do it. Same for a lot of instances of Animal slavery which is acceptable for a lot of people, we dont call it that, it is called "farming" or "husbandry".

btw Im just kidding, I wanna trigger a vegan into a response :-D
So rename master-slave to husband-cattle? You’ll trigger more than vegans
I mean I agree that most of our food-based practices are terrible and I still eat most meat so maybe I’m just a hypocrite.
Big same :(
