They are desperate to be the center of attention and love to play the victim. It’s like the bullied becomes the bully sort of thing. They spend more time arguing over weaponized CoCs and ideological SJW politics instead of writing code. It doesn’t help that many of them self-admittedly suffer from mental health problems.

Maybe write that in a COC, but it should be a premise to begin with. On a completely unrelated note, you very, very rarely find real fascists in open source software projects. And for even less favorable characters it seemed that it was just powerplay by some actors that wouldn't convince their own mother that they are the most untoxic of them all.
