Is the phrase "master bedroom" harmful? A new psychology study says no
psypost.orgMy favorite part of the article:
> The only people who experienced slight increases in negative emotions when exposed to the words were those who scored high on moral elitism and a need for recognition. These specific personality traits reflect a persistent feeling of being a victim in social situations. For everyone else, the words had no measurable negative impact.
Peoole who score high on moral elitism and a need for recognition need to give me back my master branch (and my blacklist too, preferably).
I don't want my Scrum Master back, although it never went anywhere in the first place, unfortunately.
> exist. A new study found that everyday people generally do not find these targeted words offensive, and reading them in a story does not negatively affect psychological well-being.
There’s only a certain kind of person who would find “master bedroom” offensive or harmful.
Yep, they are black. You can just say it vs hinting at it;)
Not according to my observations...
No, they're SJWs.
Some of them may be black, admittedly, but mostly it's white people being offended on behalf of black people. And deaf people. And non-neurotypical people. And visually impaired people. And ... It's rather a labour-intensive hobby to engage in.
In my experience that’s not it.
When I was a young kid (born in 78, was probably 4th or 5th grade) I wrote a letter to the President. I can't remember who was in office at the time. But I got a letter back and they addressed me as "Master <Last Name>" which was a formal title at the time. I hadn't heard it before but I remember looking up what it meant and why they would use that term.
