>The Professional Audio Manufacturers Alliance (PAMA) has announced that it’s working with its members and industry trade organisations “to address outdated language and terminology issues increasingly identified as discouraging a spirit of inclusivity within the professional audio community.”
The likes of ‘master/slave’ (in reference to clocking) and ‘male/female’ (in reference to connector topology) are among the terms thought to be questionable. The PAMA has circulated a survey among its members - which include the likes of Audio-Technica, Blue, Sennheiser and Shure - to gather feedback regarding this kind of problematic language.
>“The intent is for PAMA members to recommend adopting a framework within their organizations for the implementation of unified terminology across the industry, in the spirit of inclusivity and consistency,” explained PAMA Board Chair-Elect and Inclusion Committee member Karam Kaul (Harman). “It comes down to treating each other with respect.”
As a starting point, the PAMA has created a list of recommended neutral pro audio nomenclature. This suggests that ‘master/slave’ could become ‘primary/secondary’, and that ‘male/female’ could become ‘plug/socket’. This is said to be a ‘living document’ that will evolve based on ongoing input from the industry at large.
The PAMA’s initiative has already garnered support, with Karrie Keyes, Executive Director of the women-in-audio advocacy group SoundGirls.org, as well as monitor engineer for Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder, commenting: “Shoutout to PAMA for introducing neutral language for the audio industry. This is a tremendous undertaking and is important to continue working toward meaningful changes in our industry.”
Nah, I'm just gonna keep on calling it master/slave and male/female

Male and female should now be rapist and womb carrier

Correct. We're getting into MGS Phantom Pain territory. Do not let the opponent control language.
Zachary Rodriguez
dumb shit like this is why we insist on taking their rights away

Fuck these faggots I'll tell them the same thing I told my woke female manager: have fun with the refactor. They'll be hung in the streets for fucking up MIDI devices from the 80s trying to do this shit. Oh wait. None of these cunts have the hard skills necessary. They couldn't refactor hello world hahahaha GOOD LUCK WORKING NEXT TO METAL FAGGOTS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN
>‘master/slave’ could become ‘primary/secondary’ But that doesn't mean the same thing. >plug/socket Eh. That's nothing to me. I'll still use male and female and if anyone gets uppity about it I'll double down.

Since the PC naming is retarded, you can deliberately sabotage your company by using all the PC terms in the most confusing way possible. It's not a slave device, it's an endpoint device. It's not a master controller, it's a controller controller, or controller squared. It's not an allowed address blacklist, it's an allowed address deny list. Use them all, interchangibly, then in conversation revert to non-PC terms.

Yes, they should be changed. I vote for Cock and Rapehole. Adapters are Trannies.
They've been trying to shove this kind of shit into software development for years. I think the furthest they got was convincing GitHub to chain master to main.
James Wright
Controller sounds like patriarchy, pick something else chud.
Jace Gomez
To be fair main branch does sound better and makes more sense.

You ever just sit back and realize you're one of the few heretics in a completely insane cult that has overtaken the world in just ten years?
Yes, which is why I have multiplied my efforts to get rich by 1000x I want to make so much money that I can go wherever the fuck I want away from these crazy bastards. Their world is unsustainable and without merit, so let them enjoy it. It will crash and burn, then I will buy the remnants for cheap.

Trust me, parent/child is next. That's the point of all this.They want your children in so many ways. They just don't want to produce them
