No, you don't.  This list is not for discussion of cultural zeitgeist.

IBM as a corporate entity may have had such a discussion that led to a
company policy that led in turn to their representatives making a
request, but the only thing we have to consider is whether it's a
reasonable request and whether it has any consequences (beyond setting
off a pointless emotional sidebar that's going to convince no one and
has already devolved into trolling).
