    (Erich Schubert etc)

    Maybe he doesn't like that Debian is now just another progressive club
    where feminists who do jack shit are lauded and men who do much but
    oppose such things are kicked the fuck out or just derided as
    "trolls" (because gigs of contribs is shit compared to a pill or ball
    shaped woman that hates you).

    Fuck Debian.

    Lets see what debian has been doing lately:

    Lots of talk about "transgender" this, "women in tech" that:
    *Trans Gender Moves - Rhonda D'Vine:
                            bla bla bla lives of three people: A transman,
                                a transwoman and an intersexual person.
                            bla bla bla

    *Beware of trolls - do not feed - Erich Schubert:
                            bla bla anti-feminist hate for 10 years bla bla

    *Help empower the Debian Outreach Program for Women -
                        bla bla bla took money give to women bla bla bla

    *Switching to systemd-networkd - retarded picture of some guy
                        bla bla bla systemd awsome bla bla bla

    (Fuck Debian)

      I really don't see what genitalia have to do with open source software. Why is the Debian project concerning itself with penises, vaginas, and/or surgically altered versions of those?

        For the same reason that Mozilla "had to" fire that CEO guy who had made anti-homosexuality statements in the past, apparently.

          They obviously had to fire him. He dared to engage in free expression. Hipsters, like those that make up Mozilla and so much of the web development community these days, tend to consider freedom to be completely unacceptable. Somebody's feelings might get hurt!

            Well, I honestly didn't give a flying fuck what he thought, but it was the idea that advertising was going to be moved into the UI for Firefox that made me jump ship. I'm now using Midori under Linux (for its warts) and Palemoon for Windows. Stating an opinion I don't like? Meh, ok. I've grown a bit since I was in elementary school. Using money to lobby against legislation that would make things better for folks like me? Ahhh, ummm, ok, whatever. Being in a position to receive additional funding because there's advertising in a program I use? Eh, no, sorry, jump ship.

            (Granted, I don't think this has actually materialized, but I wouldn't know since I haven't used Firefox in many moons.)
