They should also switch from using white paper in the office. Even when using proud black text, the majority of the page will be dominated by whiteness. Brown text on black paper would fix racism.

This is far less surprising that the fact that they hadn't already done this. CoC and terms based faggotry is years old.

Another example of this type of retardation is SJWs pushing and clawing to get the photo editing program GIMP to rename itself.

GIMP at some point had to add an FAQ entry to politely address this (spoiler: no):

I saw this as a meme on Fedi and I was wondering what it came from. Now I know, lol.

An interesting game to play is to try to work out what the next set of words to become unacceptable will be. Can you predict the list in advance?

Facepalms This is honestly so pathetic to me. But I will fact check to see if this is true or false. I did skim through the article a little bit and now I still questioning about these "Offensive" word changes that the Twitter Engineer has made.
