Political Agendas in Programming Communities

Name: Anonymous 2014-11-28 22:34

How come so many online programming communities are poisoned with feminist/SJW ideology? Take Github, for example. Pulling projects that they deem to be "sexist" or telling people they can't say "he" because that's not gender neutral. Then you have trannies on Gittip asking for money to "contribute" to Github when really they don't even know how to program and ask for money to continue to bitch about sexism in places where it's not even an issue.
Regardless of were you are on the political spectrum, politics don't belong in programming, one way or the other.
Programming should be about programming, not checking privileges and hating white people.

Exactly. When I see how SJWs behave, I'm reminded of a story I heard in the news about Yugoslavia falling apart. It was said that the people on various sides who wanted war didn't go after each other: instead, they went after and silenced moderates who were trying to stop the war. Eventually, the only prominent figures left all wanted to fight. SJWs are doing the same thing: there's a rape, and they tell men in general that it's their fault. A woman gets harassed (or arguably greeted) by a few black guys and now it's my problem. They know perfectly well that they're blaming and persecuting innocent people. They're doing it to make people feel defensive, to start a fight, which will perpetuate their Wahabi brand of feminism.

On a lighter note, something funny happened in my home country of Canada recently which I think shows how this problem will resolve itself. A couple of Liberal party MPs got suspended for undisclosed allegations of sexual assault. There was a bit of fuss about the fact that there was no open process or chance for them to defend themselves, and then one of the accusers, from a party called the NDP, went to the media and described the "assault." They played sports together, went out for drinks as a group. She and one of the Liberal MPs went back to his place for another drink. They had sex to which she didn't *explicitly* consent. She even gave the guy a condom. And that's it. That's the big fucking deal that our propaganda station, the CBC, has been pissing itself over for weeks, basically calling for an erosion of the rights of the accused. You should hear the fucking empty heads on the radio sounding all confused, since even they aren't crazy enough to call that rape. With crazy people, attention makes them powerful. Ignore them, and they'll eventually screw themselves over.
