I'd turn it around. Has there ever been an instance of a CoC being used in an unreasonable way against an actually reasonable person? There's been a few cases that blew up because the behavior fell into an arguably ambiguous zone, but I can't think of anyone who suffered real consequences and didn't have it coming. Just a little more tact and thoughtfulness on the offender's part would have saved a world of trouble.
Now I'm of two minds on this. I do sometimes miss the more freewheeling culture of the '00s, and feel like the need for constant compliance has drained the tech scene of some life... but honestly it's a small price to pay if the only alternative is tolerating fascists in your midst.

- bbanyc 7y agoWearing a MAGA hat is arguably a CoC violation in and of itself. The entire purpose is to offend.
- curryst 7y agoI would disagree. I'm not a Republican myself, but it doesn't seem any different than wearing a Bernie hat or T shirt. He is expressing his political beliefs. You may find them offensive, and he may likewise find your views offensive, but I doubt either of you are doing so with the intent to offend.
- zarkov99 7y agoOn what planet? Would you say the same of a Yang (MATH) hat? I loath Trump as much as anyone but this is utterly insane. We are not talking about Nazi imagery here, we are talking about a hat that supports the president elect - who by the way might very well win a second term on the back of this sort of un-american censorship.

- rainyMammoth 7y agoHow is a wearing a MAGA hat a CoC violation? This is so blatantly political that it's ridiculous. So 50% of the US (republicans) are in violation of the CoC. Echo chamber much ?
- ElijahLynn 7y agoAgree with this. The MAGA hat is a symbol of endorsing every vile thing Trump has ever said. It is a threatening symbol and I believe many wear it not to stand with America but to stand with Trump, who is only concerned with Trump. And some wear it to trigger others. It is a threatening, offensive, inconsiderate gesture.

- shpongled 7y agoIs wearing a Bernie Sanders hat also a CoC violation? Is voting for a Republican also a CoC violation?
