For those of us who work with 15 year old software, or deal with incredibly esoteric questions about why this framework won't interact with that one because no programmer ever talked to another one before the Internet Forum was invented, its is invaluable. Why it's used to talk about anything else just doesn't compute.

And yes, I am insufferable in real life.

Best I can tell it started in SEChristian, which I guess exists, and a mod being furious about not being able to call people the wrong pronoun.
its rather important to know if the mod was actually furious about it or if they are being portrayed that way by someone who is themselves the furious party

the thing about the internet that millenials do not understand at all is that it used to be that not every site was tied to social media and there used to be a genderless and practically anonymous internet. when you got bored of overusing "they" you might refer someone as "he" the same way you would refer to every dog or dinosaur or microbe as a "he" and it wasnt intended as a slur other than assuming anyone nerdy enough to use the internet was probably a guy
a site like stack overflow seems like its intended purpose is as far from social media as you can get

is by and for all i know if they were answering a question about SQL it would be inappropriate for me to use the expression "this guy gets it" because i would have neglected to look up their personal info before talking/referring to them

that sucks. bring back anonymity to the internet (the non-social media part anyway)
it should be a rule that you cant break anonymity unless youre willing to actually meet in person (and create goon meet memories you will treasure forever)

They are very serious. Same person that managed to create stack Christianity in the first place. They non ironically argue having to use a pronoun is the company declaring support for the "other side". I'll see if I can find and post the like 6 page rant.

that post got me very hot and bothered and i was going to reply before realizing i was about to create a Christianity Stack Overflow account

It's very sad to see SE fall into the "woke culture" trap. In catering to niche groups that assume the role of self-appointed arbiters of language, they're destroying the very lifeblood that built their community to begin with. No one is going to want to post to a site where he or she, despite good faith efforts, may be the next target of the Speech Police.

oh dude a lot of them are smart and think critically about what theyre reading and never fall into the trap but that culture is massively accepting to the notion that they are smarter than other people and thus superior and accepting that train of thought easily leads soon after to a conclusion about race inequality. and tangentially they get wrapped into all the right-wing stuff and disagree with climate change and such and such
so not all of them but the professional computer touchers that suck suck really hard

and the lovely programmers never realize from their job performance how dumb they are so even step #1 on that path was unjustified :psyduck:

i think two stories are being conflated. theres the weird christian guy quitting because surprise surprise a christian person is upset about tolerance towards vulnerable minorities and there's the other one where the one moderator just said 'hey is it okay if i avoid accidentally misgendering by not using any gendered phrases at all and just refer to everyone by name which is what i've already been doing anyway' and they got fired for being transphobic which is obviously bs

yeah. there were a lot of mod resignations. seems to me the top brass is handling everything poorly, but there's always saps who'll mod i guess. also stack overflow seems to have expanded out to just be a general knowledge base, it has like languages and aviation and home improvement and my personal favourite, mythology/folklore
