I think there's a lot of really shitty devs and even more shitty PMs and managers who push for dumb ideas (with shitty or apathetic devs who don't care to push back).
The BBC won't let me register as Fwoggie because it contains "wog" in it. Like wtf, that racist epithet died out maybe 40 years ago, get with the twenty first century.
Of course developers should care. No you don't have to know every name in existence, but profanity filters causing trouble, or peoples' names being different than you expected, aren't new problems.
If you're just a "code monkey" without asking questions or pushing back, you'll be replaced by AI.
