I am genuinely curious how having a COC does something like "foster inclusivity"? I mean, you do realize it is just words right? And not just any words, but words that were forced upon the maintainer/project leader to include. Anyone have evidence of pull requests being rejected because the author was a woman or someone from the east? Personally I haven't, and I can guarantee some text in a file isn't going to help any.
What we actually have, is the other way around. Time and time again, an author of a project is accused of being racist if they don't have a COC without any evidence at all[0]. How is that OK? Who has the SQLite project offended that warranted people to contact monetary supporters of the SQLite project and try to get them to pull monetary support based on nothing else than they don't have a COC?
We must remember that it is the individual that is sovereign, and not any one group or minority. You can divide a finite group of people an infinite number of ways, but eventually what you end up with is an individual. COC's go against this as they are always pushed by a group with a group agenda that is steeped in tribalism. People need to wake up.
