Unfortunately, not a prank. I suspect a militant tumblr feminist in upper/middle management, using her position to push her agenda any way she can. They tend to do that. Just look at the recent drama on this very subverse ;)

This is disheartening. For so long the SJW threat was at most an angry group of overly sensitive crybabies who were offended at literally anything. Now they're encroaching on territory that isn't their own. I think I'm gonna move off of GitHub as protest. Bitbucket seems good. I might check that out.

It's so frustrating. They are a very small but extremely vocal minority, I can only speculate on how they got so much influence, but it's probably a combination of factors. Aid from white knights, fear of offending anyone, infiltration of existing organizations and causes, totalitarian/fascist tactics, threats, shaming, doxxing... It's just a matter of time before the backlash comes though, the pendulum will start swinging the other way.

I am pretty happy with Bitbucket, been using them in parallell with github for some time now. One bonus is that they give you private repos for free (with a limited number of collaborators).
