Sorry, but no, it's definitely not.

Blocklist means a list of blocks here.

Wut? allowlist I am seeing for the 1st time.

Some purists, linguists, and politicians are true fellows at times, or
at least they think so. This comes in waves and even if they try hard,
people won't adopt their nonsense. Like we, Czechs, still call piano by
German Klavier, and not b?inkoklapka, suggested in 19th century (among
many others) by the horny extremists.

Shall we stop using black, white, blue, and other colors only because
they relate to skin color of avatars now? I doubt that.

thanks,
