    The developer literally said he’s not opposed to gender-neutral language, he just didn’t want to accept a random non-technical contribution by somenoe who had never interacted with the project before.

      It takes no effort to refuse a PR without making a comment that even the basement dwellers of /r/conservative would have realized would be sensitive and politically charged.

      It isn’t really important what the developer claims; if they don’t act according to their claims, then there’s no point. Even I know how to build sandcastles in the air.

        Hey, I’m coming from a heavily utilitarian view, so please allow for that in my question.

        Let’s say there is a pro coder who is amazing at debugging, but is incredibly antisemitic. They have little to no interactions with colleagues and are keeping the hate to the appropriate boards (X, I believe it’s called nowadays). Should we contract his work and apply it where applicable?
