Ok, and do the people who are offended/hurt/affected by the user of "master" not finding your desire to continue using master toxic?
I think that it's about intolerance, some people are using a term in the intended non-slur manner, and others are intolerant about that rational desire. Even tolerant people shouldn't torerate intolerance, so no, being pissed about people telling them to stop using the term in the intended non-slur way is not toxic.
If that really hurts you, it's a you thing. It's not intentional, the meaning isn't derived from the slur, it's not a micro aggression. You won't like the answer, but toughen up.
So , why is toughening up not an option for you?
As stated in my comment:
Bro, I'm gonna asumme you are just creating fake outrage, holy shit.
ok. and that's what we're doing with you. multiple gigantic software institutions with actual people who are affected by this have made the change, and you're sitting there going "brah, it's not offensive, it's cool, get hard" .
you get hard.
