It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

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".

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.

So rename master-slave to husband-cattle? You’ll trigger more than vegans
