That is ridiculous.
Master is the correct term of address for a boy. Master Alexander Goth.

Historically, the term is used to address someone who is a skilled tradesman, such as a blacksmith, baker, tailor, etc.

And there's also use of the term for the person in charge of a school: Headmaster.


I think they need to fire the person who decided what words are inappropriate.

Unfortunately, we live in the world of delicate little snowflakes where there are too many people who are easily offended. I see the word Master in a title I think either they are into some uh rather adult things (can I word it that way here) or I think of it is a formal way to address a boy or a male who is the head of a household or top of their trade such as blacksmith, ironworker, electrician etc. My dad is a retired Master Ironworker. I remember him as an apprentice and seeing him work hard to get to where he was once he retired a while back. There is nothing racist or inappropriate about his title at all. He earned it every step of the way. Headmaster in charge of a school. In the game, you have Master Vampires as a rank for the vampires. You have Grandmasters in ninjitsu.

You have some people who will see the word Master or Mistress and think of it in a subject of an adult manner or they think of it in a negative way where people are victims of human trafficking. Some people might think you as being racist just for such a title too. Especially if they are of a particular race or ethnicity for your sim.

I agree they need to fire the person who thinks of what words are inappropriate should be fired or at least be shamed and put in the corner to think about what they had done.

Uh uh I will NEVER get nosey like again even tho I'm probably lying :D :D

I wanna know!! Lol

I'm dying of curiosity about this. I googled it, and the only thing that came up was the Doki Doki Literature Club.

I did find that The Free Dictionary listed the following:
Acronym Definition
DDLC Database Development Life Cycle
DDLC Document Development Life Cycle
DDLC Dino de Laurentiis Communications (film production company)
DDLC Dili Distance Learning Center (World Bank; Dili, Timor-Leste)
DDLC Donald Danforth Leadership Center (Camp Miniwanca)
DDLC Daejeon de La Cuba (Daejeon, South Korea amateur soccer club)
DDLC Dekhockey de la Capitale (Canadian hockey club)
DDLC Diagnostics de la Construction (French: Diagnostics of Construction)

As absolutely none of those things is inappropriate, it seems bizarre to think that it's a traumatic acronym. If you wanted to make it so, every acronym can be considered bad (I'm sure there's SOMETHING that any combination of letters would stand for), so we should just censor every single word in our language, and only write things with pictures. Right? *rolls eyes*

While I believe that we shouldn't try to offend people, if something is 99% innocent and only 1% of the time does it mean anything bad, why are we so worried about it? If you really WANT to be offended, you will be. Some people need a bit more tolerance, I think.

Hey folks, I'm shutting this down now.

If you want to know what an abbreviation stands for, take the converation elsewhere, lease. Meanwhile, this thread has started to veer into the territory of being mean and casting aspersions by calling out "snowflakes" and talking about being overly offended. That's not okay!

But when I type master in search on the gallery there are results, is this normal? Is it only me?

I've used Master in gallery titles. Maybe because it was for a room it was acceptable. Master Bedroom/Master Bath is okay

so, I know the gallery notifies you when you've written an inappropriate word in either the description, sim name, or the household name, but I've come across two that are questionable...

"Master." I made a circus family, and the father is the ringmaster, so I named him "Master Osvaldo." whenever I save that family, I get prompted that I won't be able to share the family, and it actually took me awhile to figure out that "master" could be the only word close enough to inappropriate due to it being used in some other ways that I shouldn't bring up on this forum. XD still, "master" is NOT an inappropriate word, and it can be used for many G-rated themes.

"DDLC." this one I just found last night. "DDLC" is the acronym used when talking about the video game, "Doki Doki Literature Club." does it also stand for something inappropriate?

what other words have you found that seem like they should not be blacklisted?

unfortunately, the internet being what it is, it is better to preemptively ban words than to field reports of inappropriate content relating to certain words. you could always try "leader", but, well, it can have bad implications depending on context as well. fun.

as for the acronym, yes, it does have stand for something extremely inappropriate for the sims. i do not suggest googling the term.

the only thing I can find that it stands for aside from "Doki Doki Literature Club" is "Document Development Life Cycle." that's going to drive me nuts, now I want to know what the inappropriate version is.

DDLC doesn’t stand for anything inappropriate. It’s a letter off.
