“Wah wah I’m a victim look they’re going to attack me any second now!”
I hope you figure out whatever’s destroying your sense of self-worth and causing you to attack margainalisized communities to protect what’s left of your ego. That’s both a dig and a genuine dose of sympathy.
Yes, sometimes it’s better to just leave the shitty person to be shitty but not calling people out also validates their shitty opinions. I’m glad you’re in a place of privilege to just ignore it but maybe practice your own fuckin’ augenmaß and butt out if you don’t have anything constructive to say.
Wait, what happened here? Is this picture supposed to be offensive somehow? Is there a place you can see deleted lemmy comments like you can see deleted reddit comments?
It can be, just like how the master-slave thing is supposed to be offensive I guess and anyone who’s fine with using those terms is apparently against minorities and in favor of slavery. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
People forget that the entire world isn’t the west.
I didn’t want to get ganged up on and cancelled so I deleted my comment.
Just someone trying to “get ahead of the people who will complain that it’s not politically correct”. Like, no one is complaining but they’re already mad for…some reason.
people have started calling Andreas Kling, the guy who’s making Ladybird Web Browser, as sexist and whatnot because he won’t merge PRs which change pronouns in documentation
He refuses to update the identification info for contributers? Why? It’s the least they can do for people who offer their time and expertise for the project.
Presumably he’d be happy to do so if they got married and changed their name, so it sounds like he’s probably a transphobe, right?
No, it’s when someone wanted to change docs to say “they” when referring to the user. I don’t think it was really necessary, but refusal to do that looks like a statement I don’t like.
It’s busy work. Reviewing it to make sure they didn’t fuck it up takes away time to do literally anything else. It adds zero value, it only has downsides.
inb4 someone takes offense and says how it discriminates and marginalizes and starts a campaign against the authors and calls them *-ist

Someone feels called out?
Some people like to be victim. And some like drama. Augenmass is needed in such cases, instead of joining the drama.
No?

You’re a bad example of what i said.
Sure thing, bud.
Augenmass? Keeping distance or something?
Crap, it’s only in swiss and austria?
Ability to be prudent in certain situations.
Well, as they say, “common sense is not very common”, but thinking a bit before rushing in may always do good.
about the "quote"
It actually should read
as written by Voltaire, it appears, but I didn’t know that and only met derivatives of this quote.
It’s not, but then I’m Bavarian. What do I know about the rest of Germany?

Yeah i just see a deleted comment and insane chaos…
Damn. This would have been a really clever joke if that was a real problem and not just something you made upto feel like your overcoming oppression.
Oh bore off you fanny
In reference to the master-slave thing i guess?
that, and any other thing one can take offense at

The same like “gendern” in some german media?
I mean that is sexist tbf
It’s busy work. Reviewing it to make sure they didn’t fuck it up takes away time to do literally anything else. It adds zero value, it only has downsides.
I would say being more inclusive is bringing value.
There’s a massive issue with women being under-represented in STEM and little things like this only further cement that.
It’s casual sexism. I’m not suggesting they are intentionally hating on women.
Assuming it’s a man because it’s programming is fundamentally sexist.
What downsides would they be?
The downside is the time taken.
