MODERATORS
Open mindedness is a key factor for success (especially in open source). Inclusivity demonstrates open mindedness. The fact that the lead dev goes out of his way to prevent such a minor change (it's not even like people demanded a strict CoC or something) is a bad signal
he hasn't gone out of his way. he just thinks its irrelevant to make a report about it. and he is correct. thats not what github report is for.
these commenters are hitting this guy for something so small it's not worth getting angry over.
they're calling this guy a transphobe for saying "please take this somewhere else. this is not the appropriate place" nothing about that is malicious or transphobic. at all.
Yup, the other side is pretty counterproductive with saying the project is dehumanizing etc. They're absurdly exaggerating.
It wasn't just a report tho, it's a PR that could've been merged with a single click
I agree with that, I read the comments and I agree about exaggeration. At the same time it is not something political to just adjust the documentation to use gender neutral terms as it is a professional thing to do. Where would be the place to discuss it considering that the only way to modify the code is from GitHub and PR?
