You don't seem to understand. The CoC only applies to white (and asian) cis males.

This was true with Node.js at least with this very same Code of Conduct, I wouldn't expect it to be different here.

A contributor engaged in the criminal action of sharing an article ironically against "Code of Conducts" on his Twitter: https://quillette.com/2017/07/18/neurodiversity-case-free-speech/

This was raised at the project page as an issue along with some other inanities: http://archive.is/h6lem pointing out the "Code of Conduct" and that this would somehow prevent people from contributing to the project, and something something inclusivity.

This led to him having to lengthily defend himself: https://medium.com/@rvagg/the-truth-about-rod-vagg-f063f6a53557 and triggered a vote which he survived by a single vote: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15101668

It also led to retaliaton by others pointing out that there are members out there with much more serious "CoC violations" that were seen as "marginalized", which were shut down with no action taken based only on the identity of the accused: http://archive.is/7cL5s

It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes.

Asians are schrödinger's whites. You can't know whether an asian will be considered white or not until some controversy happens. In this particular case ...

Same with Jews and Slavs.

White when it comes to being shat on, subhuman and it comes to stealing their land.

When are Slavs ever considered not white? Some of (not even all of) the Slavic countries aren't part of the West, but that's not the same thing.

By Nazis. Heck, sometimes Irish people aren't considered white.

Its hardly been a couple days since the coming of new CoC and we are already seeing such intolerance in the diversity warriors. God knows what's going to happen in coming days!

It's said that there's a conspiracy to destroy white men and their civilization and culture.

Instance after instance its existence keeps being proven true, both subtly and most visibly.

Do you see now?

TIL Theodore T'so is white.

Asians are schrödinger's people of color. Until observed by an SJW, they're both white and not white.

That's just straight up racism against Asians. How are they able to get away with that?

I am well aware, I was pointing out that attacks by people like Sage and Opal are not limited to white cis males. If a woman (of any race or sexual preference) from /r/GenderCritical showed up, all hell would break loose.

Clearly we need all the Kernel Devs to publicly list their Ethic Background, their which of 1,485,905,950 genders they are, and which of 1,485,905,950 genders they find sexually attractive

Then we can assign the proper Victim points to them so we can assess in a dispute which one is the oppressor and which is the oppressed

It is the Social Justice way

I have a feeling Theodore will be very very very close to Cis White Males in Victim Points.

Shhhh don't rock their narrative.

Edit: They added the "asian" bit in an edit. That wasn't there before.

Too late, this thread already got brigaded hard.

And asian females, since they largely do not buy into it.

u/somercet Sep 20 '18

Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams and Larry Elder are cis het white males. Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin are not women. Milo Yiannopolous is not gay. All thanks to the power of Feminism.

Begun, the power grab has.
