It feels to me, that people don't realize that there are probably a lot more people out there who speak English not as their first language, hence they don't have the same connotations of many words as the native speakers.
When I hear Django for example, first thing I think of is the slave from the "Django Unchained" Tarantino movie (or Django Reinhardt, the gypsy musician)...
Maybe this web framework shouldn't name itself after such a famous slave!...
Or from another point of view:
What a dick move was it from Tarantino to name his slave protagonist after such a popular web framework, which tries to be respectful, by avoiding references to slaves.
Also, I'm very much interested in the comment which sparked this thread.
I find it quite freaky, in a 1984-ish way, that it is completely inaccessible now.
What's next, flagging-people?
Burning books is just a few steps away...
You are a bit too trigger happy, maybe...
I linked to the now infamous Django PR that removes the words "slave" and "master" and said I stopped using django since then (after writing it is a great framework).
