What is the most idiotic instance of politically correct language policing you have ever seen?

I can name two.

I work in IT. We have always had some odd names. For example. Master and slave hard drives. Master means the controlling device, or computer. Slave means a device controlled by the master device. It has nothing to do with Slavery. Yet they want to remove that from the IT Vocabulary.

Second one would be Master bedroom. Wtf man. Next they are going to try to remove it from Audio mastering. Or Mastering a skill. The politically correct bullshit needs to stop.

In law enforcement they wanted us to say "unhoused" instead of "homeless" which was ridiculous for two reasons. They mean the same thing, literally. And the term we used in reports was "transient" anyway. It was basically just an excuse for the city to virtue signal, as usual.

Using "birthing person" instead of mother.
Using "menstruating person" instead of woman.
Non-gender specific pronouns.

Itis probably why they invented SATA drives.

Never mind the fact that ribbon cables are a pain in the ass. On that same token, scsi is even worse.

SCSI separated the technicians from the people who just said tht were technicians.
