> As a child I never saw ramps for the wheelchairs, and seldom saw people on a wheelchair (only in hospitals). That was part of the culture of ostracising "different people" and making sure "normal" people don't see them.

US had ramps long before wokeness infected the minds. You might be saying that wokeness leaking to other countries helps them become more accessible, but this could be a spurious correlation.

> Branch renaming is not painful, so why not, if it makes someone's experience a bit more pleasant.

How do you know it's not painful and that pros outweigh the cons? All the polls I've seen were overwhelmingly against rename.

The only way to be offended by "master" branch is to choose to be offended. Nobody means anything offensive, but I can twist their words to pretend I'm hurt and make them feel bad for my own benefit. That's a disgusting manipulative behavior, and I have absolutely no respect for people who do that. Accommodating those narcissists is harmful for society.
