To the person who said (since deleted or moderated) that Linus changed because "they" had dirt on him : his daughter signed the "Post-Meritocracy Manifesto" and is into "intersectional feminism" so I think a more pragmatic answer is that she convinced him to change.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoThere's no need for intersectionalism in this at all. In fact, I'd argue it's wrong. Intersectionalism would argue that peoople of different backgrounds must have special treatment. There's no need for that whatsoever. All we need is for people to not personally attack or demean others. After that ... people should be free to be more 'candid' at the possibly cost of upsetting someone, or more 'sensitive' at the possibly cost of the message being lost in sugar coating as they feel suited. Linus can be harsh as long as it's valid criticism of a subject (or maybe big corp), not a person. Beyond that he's fully within his rights to say whatever. He does not need to treat people different given whatever background they have.
