I rarely see people being weird to women on IRC, but I guess it's as IRL: there are good places and bad places.

- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoIt may depend a lot on the IRC network and channel. IRC these days seems to be confined to open-source software discussion, so the communities are more helpful.
- JonnieCache 12y agoThis was on freenode, on the channel for a development tool. I'm not going to name names because the people involved weren't actually members of the project IIRC, just regulars on the channel. It wasn't nasty or anything, just... weird. It gave me an overpowering urge to uninstall irssi and go outside.
