better yet, why don't we just strike the word "master" from the English language, that way no mortal will make the mistake ever again?

I think, context is the point here.

It's like with content that is needlessly sexualized. We should keep stuff like that to the context it belongs.

You seem to be suggesting that would be a mistake. But if we're not willing to prevent thought crime, who will?

With a little work, we can ensure that future generations don't even know what a "double plus meanie" was. In fact, maybe we can even forget that the bad times happened.
