    If you read the commit, you would see it was referring to a built-in non-human account.
    In no way did he assume the gender of any people, so who cares if he referred to a built-in account of his operaring system as ‘he’ instead of ‘they’?
    A more accurate description would have been ‘it’.

    As somebody who also identifies as LGBT, I don’t want or need your permission to feel anything.
    I don’t feel guilty for not participating in the cancel culture of the internet.

      I did read the commit, and I loved the part where Andreas Kling said:

      This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.

      As his reason for dismissing it. Because the commiter was trying to use idiomatic language for a builtin account. But it must be “politics” because pronouns amirite.

      That also ignores all the other points brought up about his questionable values.

      I don’t feel guilty for not participating in the cancel culture of the internet.

      There is no such thing as cancel culture. This is what the Free Marketplace of ideas allows: “your ideas are shit and I won’t support you and I will let others know.” That’s not “cancel culture,” that’s just how society fucking deals with toxic ideas that harm communities.

      Then put the bare fucking minimum into acting like you’re part of a marginalized community, and stop rushing to defend online chuds who support that marginalization from being critiqued. Seriously weird simp behavior.
