Evidence for offensiveness?[edit]
I 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)
