I have a similar thing: There's this Javascript community called WeAllJS, which according to their website: "We’re committed to being supportive, attentive, and inclusive." I know about this because one of their admins (per their Twitter profile) posted an obviously offensive Tweet about men, and has "professional mantagonizer" in their Twitter bio, alongside "Admin for @wealljs". They also work at NPM.
Most interestingly, their Code of Conduct has:
'Any attempt to present “reverse-ism” versions of the above as violations. Examples of reverse-isms are “reverse racism”, “reverse sexism”, “heterophobia”, and “cisphobia”. I think this means that heterophobia and cisphobia are not only explicitly not against the rules, but it's in fact a violation to claim that they are against the rules. Fascinating stuff.
Okay, I didn't read the post in full first. The person I'm referring to is the one who made the "reddit manbabies" comment quoted.
Also, the wealljs code of conduct has the exact same "regardless of age..." line from the NPM code of conduct, in a slightly different order (but every element is identical). I wonder how much overlap there is between the leadership of each.
- 13years 9y agoI keep seeing this trend among supporters of diversity, which is a description of inclusivity goals which then follows with a set of exclusivity rules. The irony seems to always be lost. The trending method of improving diversity and inclusivity is through exclusivity. This will not work. People and groups who don't talk to each other grow further apart and trust each other less.
