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.

    ...Uzzard's posted something I largely agree with, if not entirely.

    Fuck me, maybe the world really is going to end soon. I saw the CoC linked by someone else in my journal entry on Void and came away from reading it with the feeling it sounded distinctly Stalinesque. They probably have good intentions, but those are well-known as Hell's paving stones.

    In case anyone from the FreeBSD team is reading this...when the site's resident crunchy granola dyke says your proposed code of conduct sounds like something that the alt-right would make up as a *parody* of social-justice activists, maaaaaaaaaybe walk it back a little? Please? It's far too broad.
