Evidence for offensiveness?
editI am moving this usage note here, for lack of evidence. The citations are about the origin of the band's name, not about "Joy plot" being considered offensive by anyone. Equinox ◑ 18:25, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Some consider the term offensive, because the band Joy Division named themselves after the sexual slavery wing of a Nazi concentration camp mentioned in the 1955 novel House of Dolls,[1][2] and prefer the synonymous term ridgeline plot instead. Equinox ◑ 18:25, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
