TechNom (nobody)

He didn’t just wash off his hands. When asked in an interview about a moderator who edited a trans user’s profile to intentionally misgendering them (yup, even that’s not off limits for their mods), he justified it saying that ‘It’s not like using the N-word or something’. (For context, the n-word itself was innocuous. It gained notoriety due to its misuse by bigots like this).

There are several such examples - repeatedly even after being called out. I don’t belong to any diversity groups. But I don’t care if they make the world’s best operating system. I will stay well away from it if only to avoid any interaction with such a group. They’re a bit too happy about harassing people (not just transgenders either).

If I were, I wouldn’t be hanging out here, would I? BTW, I use both Vim and Emacs.

More like a personal bias in the form of a distasteful snark that the author thinks is funny. Their demonstrated knowledge about Emacs in the article indicates the worth of such remarks.
