Torvalds offered a the-work-is-what-matters sort of response, stating, according to Twitter accounts, that "the most important part of open source is that people are allowed to do what they are good at" and "all that [diversity] stuff is just details and not really important."
Mean while, SJW's are calling for Torvald's head on a platter. People who have likely never contributed a line of code to anything in their miserable lives
The @linuxfoundation enables a profoundly abusive person who makes Linux the nastiest FOSS community out there. Don't let them be silent.
Can we agree linus is an asshole and people are overreacting?

>>3,6 What happened to /prog/? In the past you niggers would be going full /lounge/ over this, now you sound like a bunch of hand-wringing commie cuckold shitstains.
>>8 It lost novelty and the battle is over. Leah and Shanely are the future. Social media is the future. Javashit is the future. The people and their money have spoken. The left has won and the West will fall to feminism and social justice hipsters. Since they can't call a nigger a nigger, their victory will be short lived as they will be eaten alive by their own poor choices, but the damage will have been done. The only possible obstacle is a global resurgence of the far right (which mudslimes are very much trying to drive the west to do), but that is just another evil with consequences just as bad (they want to have constant surveilence, outlaw encryption, outlaw ``hacking tools'', trusted computing shit, licenses to use a compiler, beheading of the Lisperati, etc...). No matter what, it's over. The golden age is ended. There is no sense fighting a lost cause. But no matter what, they can't remove the SICP and 2hu porn we have saved to our computers. We can only hope to quietly weather the storm and emerge from our bunkers a thousand years from now to fight back the chaos and rebuild.
Also, there are some really shitty posters -- one really shitty poster, actually -- that ruin threads.

“The most important part of open source is that older white men are allowed to do what they’re good at” — Torvalds abridged
joining this bullying campaign and putting vaugely racist words in his mouth is just wrong. You're being manipulative.

Oh yeah, because "fucking kikes shit fuck ass mouth sjw nigger dick cocks" that is so common here in /prog/ is such a great way to contribute to threads.

Just another case of sustained ironic shitposting making genuine human garbage feel like they're among like-minded people. Six or seven years ago it turned /b/ from a place where people could let off steam into this bullshit where Reddit/8chan types would write endless essays about how much they hate women for not sucking their dicks, and it turned /prog/ into the sort of place where pissbabies think they have an audience to whine unironically about ``SJWs''.

Woman: There’s still a long way to go to achieve equality. Dude: Not true! A woman was mean to me once. Woman: That’s not what — Dude: SO MEAN drawing by Matt Lubchansky
Dude: Pretty sure you have more rights than us. Woman: What rights? Dude: You know, the rights. All of them. I HAVE TO DIE IN WAR
Woman: Well, for starters, there’s the wage gap. Dude: It’s not real. Look at this chart I made. Woman: But studies show — Dude: CAN’T HEAR YOU, CHART
Woman: What about rape? One in five women are sexually assaulted. Dude: Ehh, pretty sure they’re just saying that for the money. Woman: What? Dude: That sweet rape money drawing by Matt Lubchansky
Woman: I just want to be left alone when I walk down the street. Dude: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER WAY FOR ME TO INTERACT WITH A WOMAN drawing by Matt Lubchansky
Woman: Let’s talk about consent. Dude: What does “consent” mean? What do words mean? “Yes?” “No?” What does anything mean? I’m not a word genius.
Woman: We need to work together to prevent rape. Dude: If you really cared about rape you’d go stop rape in Somalia. Woman: But — Dude: SOMALIA
Woman: Rape needs to stop! Dude: Look, rapists be rapin’. Nothing to be done about it. It’s the rape robots. Woman: What? No, I don’t — Dude: RAPE ROBOTS
Dude: Your fight to stop rape and abuse is dumb. Woman: Go away. Dude: This is why nobody likes feminists, you don’t like to debate.
At least proofread the braindead shit you copy-paste from other sites.

How brain-dead do you need to get to be tolerant to feminists and Muslims at once? It's either brain-dead or weak and emasculate. Cause if you Westerners had any strength in you, you would have shown these shitheads their places (the kitchen for the women, and desert for the Mudslimes). But you don't have any strength, that's why you're so tolerant.
I want to come to America and rape American white "men" with a broomstick while shouting "Allahu akbar!". Your tolerant media would probably even picture me as a hero of tolerance and multiculturalism, LOL.
You can't deny that ``meritocracy'' in tech is a fucking myth and that Linus is wrong here. Nobody is genuinely calling for Linus to be removed from Linux, least of all ``SJWs''.

>>27 Yes, I can deny it. There is meritocracy in tech. Stop trying to explain your ineptitude and uneducation by "discrimination".
>>28 I know your inferiority complex is such that you desperately need to believe you got your job purely on merit and that women and ethnic minorities aren't disproportionately side-lined, but reality isn't like that and there are countless studies that bear it out.
I swear, the just-world fallacy is like a religion to you neckbeards.
Women shouldn't have to go through the same interview process as men. Interviews are stressful and only work to keep women from getting jobs in tech. When a woman applies for a job at Microsoft or Amazon they should be greeted with warm open arms (female arms so it's not rape) and a contract.

>>33 My boss is a woman, dipshit. And I'm not the one with inferiority complex, I have a job and you don't (or else why would you whine about imaginary "inequality"?).
People who are actually good at stuff get ahead no matter what their sex or orientation. But people who only whine about being "sidelined" instead ow bettering themselves? Nope, didn't see those achieving anything.

>>32 So you agree that equality is when a woman gets the job just for being a woman? And when a woman makes more money not for doing the job better, but just for being a woman? That, my feminist friend, is hypocrisy and prejudice, not equality.
If these bitches want equality, they have to make women's teams compete with men's teams in all professional sports. I would love to see women prove they deserve equal rights in football game of men vs women.
>>35 I do have a job, and I'm male. I'm also not going to pretend I haven't seen countless women passed over in favour of less qualified men, and, again, studies consistently confirm that. Keep burying your head in the sand and trying to convince yourself you're not part of the problem, though. You're not the first anti-scientific jackass in ICT, and you won't be the last.
