As I understand CoC, calling someone derogatory terms and making them feel uncomfortable is okay in GNOME community if this person is in privileged category (white cis male etc), but it is not okay to discriminate them.
"The GNOME community prioritizes marginalized people's safety over privileged people's comfort"

- zlg_codes 3y agoWhat's staggering to me is who exactly is unsafe in the FOSS community? Are minorities being attacked at conferences or something? I'm not rich enough to attend them.
- type0 3y agoBullies are usually in minority numbers, you can't eliminate bullying, then the fallacy becomes that only literally minorities should be allowed to bully.

And the defense being 'we're punching up, because...' is childish at best imo. And if we say "hey maybe not have double standards?" We're bigots. Wat.
