EDIT - why would there be an SJW problem in a coding community? It's totally divorced from SJW issues.
You'd think so, but no, not since various SJW trolls decided to use their bullshit as a platform for seizing control of online communities. Example: The attempt to take over Ruby with the 'Contributor Covenant'..

Just read the first post on this github discussion: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/25640
They're a cancer, and like cancer they will infest and grow into any community they can. Tech/coding is no different I'm afraid. Just too many white/cis/het/males doing well in this field, and that just cannot stand!

Wow, what BS. Even back in the 90s, anything with a gendered pronoun in a positive context had to be female. Science and maths textbooks used exclusively female pronouns... 'the scientist notices her experiment does X', 'she inverts the matrix' etc. And still, any time anything ever uses male pronouns we have to change them to female pronouns "for equal representation." So fucking sick of it.

Never point out it was white males that developed most of the technology these twinkies work with....This is the tip-of-the-iceberg Leninist politics. As others are saying, it's a cancer.
