FreeBSD Goes Full-On SJW

Journal by The Mighty Buzzard

In case you haven't heard, FreeBSD has a new code of conduct that's seemingly pulled straight from the shit-spewing face of a blue-haired intersectional feminist.

Me, I refuse to contribute to any coding project with a code of conduct designed to protect people of one political ideology from those who disagree with them. They're of course welcome to do what they like but they'll be doing it without my help in any way.

    I'm fine with practices that don't impact functionality, like ear (and others) piercing, gauges, removal of the male foreskin, neck rings [wikipedia.org], head coverings, tattoos and many other things that may or may not conform to my cultural background.

    Some people just want their fundamental right to control their own bodies to be respected. The discussion about whether it impacts functionality is thus irrelevant. Frankly, that applies to any forced body modification.

    Additionally, every surgical procedure has risks; if there is truly no impact on functionality, then there is no justification for taking the risks since it involves someone else's body.

    If you weren't talking about forcing these things upon children, then this doesn't apply.
