> now they're taking purely emotional stances like "AI evil" But they aren't? Nowhere in the document it says this; in fact, it says the opposite - that they don't want to make a moral judgement. > It's already bad enough a programming language wants to play politics (doesn't matter what my politics are if I want to code in the c "community") It also doesn't matter what your politics are in the Rust community. My personal politics don't agree with the majority of prominent Rust contributors either, and that's fine. It doesn't (and hasn't) stopped me from being able to use Rust for over a decade now. Ignore politics and just engage on a purely technical level, and you'll be fine.

> It also doesn't matter what your politics are in the Rust community Largely true, apart from the trans issue. Refuse to agree a man is a woman because he says it's true, and you're a bigot

  You don't have to agree to treat people with respect. Using someone's preferred pronouns doesn't hurt you.

      You are free to believe what you want. If you find it that hard to keep those feelings to yourself in the context of contributing to rust, and are too stubborn to make a one character change to pronouns when you’re addressing people, I have to imagine that you’re utterly incapable of working in any professional context, where you’re expected to conform to many more things that make less sense. This seems like a problem with you.

        > You are free to believe what you want. That sex determines if you're a man or a woman, and gender is irrelevant? I do, but I'm being asked to believe the inverse, or to act as if I do. > many more things that make less sense I can think of nothing remotely like being asked to call a man a woman. Id be happy to be wrong about that, but this is nothing like homosexuality, racism or any other "ism" We've seen before.
