I personally don't have a problem with renaming master to main or so. These are just terms, and I lived with `master` branches and `main` branch won't bring me any harm, if this actually helps people to feel more comfortable.
What bothers me a lot, that a group of people basically decide for the whole world, cultures and countries how should they feel about things. This clearly was a case with Rubocop renaming, where bunch of developers aggressively attacked Bulgarian maintainer [0] to rename Rubocop library because of the `cop` part. They obviously didn't care, that in many other countries police is actually protecting people and is being respected. And argument of "(in US) the word "cop" has an uncomfortable feeling about it" was enough to outweigh the arguments of maintainer, that renaming would bring a lot of problems and breaking changes.
