The project itself may not have anything to do with politics, but the people running the project do. They're using their project as a platform to increase the visibility of their message. In your case it seems to have backfired, but other people may be inspired by their respect for the developers behind Sass to pay more attention to BLM.
It is therefore ironic that you posted this thread, further spreading their message, despite your apparent disagreement with it.
- johnisgood 6y agoI do not mind "spreading their message" though. People can do whatever they want with it. :) It is all voluntary. > In your case it seems to have backfired Well, regardless of my stance on it, it backfired only because I do not like getting these things mixed up, is all. Politics is way too pervasive.
