i don’t even want to click your link because it says “unhinged dishonest activists”. i have literally only ever heard the worst people with the worst opinions ever say shit like that.
That is an apt description for Lunduke.
if I were in a room with Hitler and Lunduke etc
Godwin’s Law. Discussion over.
So you agree with the idea that submitting a “minor nitpick” PR suggesting that the software doesn’t refer to all users as male is “personal politics” and deserves an angry response for even suggesting it?
You sure do sound like someone who would agree with Lunduke…
Being a woman or being transgender isn’t “political”. Vocally opposing inclusiveness is asshole behavior.
Not even mad that he’s not accepting a low-effort PR. It’s trivializing people’s existence as “political” that makes him shitty.
Making a low effort argument against a straw man that was never stated. You sure you aren’t a conservative?
No, I disagree with the idea of digging into years of history to drag up the one thing to be mad at and bandwagon over with a loud mob with surface level care that move onto the next bandwagon in a week. Typical to Twitter behavior. Doesn’t actually help anyone, typically hurts the movements they claim to support among everyone else.
I’m about the farthest from Lunduke you can get, he’s just not wrong in this specific instance. You don’t know me, “you sure do sound” is a silly attempt at internet games. Yawn.
I guess what I’m saying here is that if you agree with Lunduke’s sexist take, you’re just revealing yourself to be a sexist.
It wasn’t right for people to bandwagon and harass the project, but that doesn’t mean he was right for closing this PR in the way he did. Him closing this PR is what caused the project to be attacked, not part of the attacks.
Years later is ridiculous and unwarranted, it’s looking for someone to attack.
Can you direct me to where he has apologized or reversed course at all in the years since?
Or do you think that we’re just supposed to forgive over time without evidence that any improvement has occurred?
Technically, in a later PR they merged a more gender neutral language, but I don’t think there was any official apology to the community.
I don’t comment anything negative, so far as I remember, against Ladybird and decided not to look at the general direction of that project.
You mean when he said he had nothing against gender-neutral language but rather drive-by PRs and made the change?
