Feminists in tech have been staging attempted “honey traps” to frame prominent male software developers for sexual assault, according to explosive claims on the blog of Eric S. Raymond, a pioneer of the open source movement. In allegations that will rock the world of software development, prominent targets included Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel.
Raymond quoted excerpts from an online chat with a trusted source, who told him that the Ada Inititiative, a recently-discontinued feminist advocacy group in tech, was trying to “collect scalps” by concocting charges of attempted sexual assault against male software developers.
The source told Raymond that the “MO” of the feminists was to “get alone with the target, and then immediately report attempted sexual assault.” The source said he had stopped mentoring female developers over fears that they might fabricate such charges.
SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR FRIENDS, FEMINISTS ON TWITTER ARE IN DAMAGE CONTROL MODE, TRYING TO DELETE EVERYTHING AND CLAIM IT'S JUST A CONSPIRACY THEORY

The lying feminist bitches. Who even sponsors them, Apple? Google?
Hopefully esr jumping into the fray shouting about mind control rays in defense of Linus Torvalds serves as some sort of reality check for the Linux Foundation and maybe even Linus himself. Seriously.
Ugg, it sucks, because I hate feminists, but if I oppose them, I'm siding with the gamergate crowd, who are even more annoying because they try to smear their shit all over /prog/rider.
That said, this is the least bad culture wars thread there has been in a while, so congratulation on that >>1-chan.

Do you motherfuckers understand now? DO YOU? Let me spell it out one more time for the densest among you.
This. Is. Not. Just. About. Programming.
These people want to destroy those of you who speak out and control the rest. You've seen them talk on reddit and hackernews, they will happily put you to death if they could and drink your tears while doing so. Programming is one front of a much larger war. It does not begin or end with programming and if you don't fight you are going to lose so much more than just a hobby. This is the end of the war, they have been winning it for years. Donglegate was a surprise resistance that popped up after our "forces" had been routed and slaughtered on the altar of women in tech for decades. If you want to live in a world where some histrionic pampered brat and her sniveling cohorts can cry harassment and shut down entire conventions then yeah sure do nothing just free the software I guess. If that idea disgusts you then it is time to stand up if you haven't already and fight them on every level. Remember Donglegate? Remember how they got a father of two fired from his job on what should have been an uneventful day of his life? Over a joke? It's not just about programming these people are monsters in human skin. Fight them!

I have no idea what side pro or anti "gamergate" describes.
But this sort of bullshit keeps male programmers from wanting to work with female programmers. If not out of defensiveness, then out of disgust.
>>4,5 This has nothing to do with gamergate, the OP didn't bring it up, you're the one who brought it up because it's the big boogey man you and your kind like to use. Besides, the gamergate crowd on 8ch are a bunch of limp-dicked, feminist-supporting betas themselves and would likely take sides against Linus.
My guess is that you're a pathetic, self-loathing transexual without a life other than trolling the chans, textboards, and neurotypical social media sites because there's no place for you in the real world. You're incapable of operating outside of your imaginary narratives, for facing reality is too painful. You're a creature who would be better off being put out of your misery than continuing another moment.
[i]You're/[i] the one who has been bringing the quality of /prog/ down these past months and perhaps more.
This post makes me hate the West. I know it's kopipe, but someone, somewhere, wrote this and took it seriously. The only way this could be more self-aggrandizing and pathetically impotent would be if LEEGUN wrote it. Hacking for ten hours a day and just giving it away is not something to be proud of. I think I would actually have more respect if they just wallowed in self-pity, acknowledging that they were shit like otaku do. Coding for hours despite being pissed off at make is not a hobby, it's an obsession. Do these losers have no ambition? Do they not realize that they are being brainless producers?
There is only one way to get the feminists out of open source, and that is to stop fucking using open source. All open source. You cut off Github's money and in a month they'll be offering to suck you off if you'll just come back. They'll pressure the media to stop attacking coders on their own. But we all know that will never happen even for a day. Open source advocates have no self-discipline. They are simpleminded slaves to whatever chemical gets released in their brain when they ``refactor'' another class. Their promises of boycott are no more threatening than a crackhead who tells his dealer he's going to stop buying. They couldn't stop even if they really wanted to, which they don't. They want to be worthless fools who squander their lives, and they want to be praised for it. If closed software didn't cost money, most of them would simply use Windows until their heart game out, and on every Friday night, they'd reward themselves for working so hard by eating double the junk food. On some level they must know that they don't have the fortitude to do anything real, so they just write angry letters and freak out on ibiblio. Actual physical protests rarely lead anywhere, and they think that getting pissed off on the internet is going to incite change? Get the fuck out of here.
Yes, they targeted open source coders. Yes, open source coders are getting shit on. Open source coders will continue being shit on, because open source coders deserve to be shit on. So they'd better learn to like the taste of shit, or make a fucking change in their life, because if there's anything we've learned from the behavior of feminist developers, it's that you can shit right in a open source coder's mouth and he'll return the very next day, get on his knees, open his mouth wide and swallow it; all the while ostentatiously demanding his mouth not be shit in. Day after day, year after year they'll eat that shit and get mad about it.
Please, if you are a open source coder, toss yourself into an oven. If you're not a open source coder, please be sure to not associate with gamers. Instead, go out of your way to treat them poorly. Call them names, spit on them, play pranks on them, get sluts to flirt and break there hearts, steal their stuff, drug and rape them, break their games, delete their saves, piss on their computers, break their fingers, make them wear kike-star armbands, push them into puddles, hide dead animals in their rooms, plant child porn on their computer, throw used tampons on them, use your bright headlights on at night, cut in front of them in line, kill their family, start rumors that they're child molesters, toss lit cigarettes down their cloths. It's okay to bully open source coders. It's for the greater good.
