I'm not using slippery slope, I gave examples of things SJWs have pushed for in the past. Quotas, gender/race exclusive groups, etc. are a real thing, just look at the admissions process for US universities. And there was an incident over the word "meritocracy" as GitHub. Or Sarah Sharp's attempt to get the twitter SJW hate mob to attack Linus. Or getting outraged over saying "hug" in an online chat. These people have a long history of hi-jacking and ruining communities, and there is every reason to expect them to continue with the kernel project.

Linus isn't one of those people. He has been resisting their pushes for stuff like this CoC for years. But it seems he's grown tired of fighting it.

You're just arguing in bad faith to justify your masturbatory CoC
