I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

There's a subset of the Linux/FOSS/etc. community who are Conservative, misogynistic, racist, and/or otherwise general bigots. Compare the Ventoy-bros against the Elon-bros, and you'll see a similar pattern of behavior.

I don't personally understand it, since development is still sometimes seen as "work for weirdo nerds," so you'd think they would understand what it feels like to be rejected or bullied, but here we are. They manage to stay under the radar, because there's usually no reason to discuss politics or philosophy when you're debugging code.

Don't know why you're being downvoted, hackernews is an awful site of smug, dumb software "engineer" tech bros with some of the worst takes on anything that isn't explicitly about how to code
