All this 'removed' terminology is double standard. The entire name of the "git" project is offensive. From wikipedia [1] Git is a term of insult with origins in English denoting an unpleasant, silly, incompetent, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person. GitHub - hub for gits (persons).

master is far more offensive especially in the United States

  Are you offended the idea of a master key or say, mastering C++? Remastered albums?

    Researching all that is surely somebody's Master's Theses.

      more people are offended by the word master than git, I still don’t think it was a good comparison, also the connotation of Master Theses, mastering C++, remastered album is also much different.
