Normally I would agree, but in this case I am calling a spade a spade. Who exactly is this change targeted towards? How is this nebulous idea of neutrality any improvement over the more interesting task of making the role more inclusive for everybody? Keeping/adding all the ideas & symbolism of a culture while removing the name is not being respectful to anybody from my point of view. The other various cultural accents, food, clothing, etc aren't getting scrutinizingly rebranded. I might be okay with this in a different scenario, but as is I find the policy distasteful.
Although in truth the original replacement meme was from my 3rd least favorite Star Wars movie. Can't allow that to slide.
