The change was pushed without asking Matz. I wonder if the strategy is the same as here: https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/github-gendered-pronoun-debate/ https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/github-gendered-pronoun-deb... Push a change without asking a non-native English speaker, make that person upset and provoke a counter reaction, then start a major Twitter storm to discredit and possibly expel the non-U.S. peasant. Some of the names in that article appear on LKML in connection with the Rust proposal (not sure if they are the same persons). Caveat emptor.

Yeah, I love how these people pushing CoCs love harassing and discriminating against non-Americans.

it worked with Antirez. Matz will cave eventually because the people pushing these idiotic changes will harass Matz the same way they harassed Antirez into submission. http://antirez.com/news/122 http://antirez.com/news/122 https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/github-gendered-pronoun-debate/ https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/github-gendered-pronoun-deb... > When another user, Isaac Schlueter, committed the change anyway, Isaac "white men need no apply" Schlueter. This guy never resigned of any group he was part of, or NPM leadership when he said some objectively racist comments... rules don't apply to them... The people who push these "codes of conducts" are the one harassing others and codes of conducts give them a way to harass other developers into ideological submission without being punished for their harassment tactics, because CoC are written in such away that if you're not following the intersectional ideology then you are fair game. All that had never had anything to do with programming, it's purely partisanship. And if you don't cave, harassers are relentless because they have their own massive internet mobs on social media, a well oiled ideological war machine.
