I looked into it some months ago and if I'm not mistaken the dev referred to a "user profile" as "he" in an installation instruction text.
Then someone made a suggestion to change it to "they" and he answered that he didn't want politics in his project.

My thoughts were that "they" didn't fit and if changed, "user profile" should be "it" and not "they".

He didn't change it to "it" either though.. It's really not clear if it's just bad English, a case of don't tell me what to do or full blown bigotry.

My vote, at least for now, goes to overblown drama.

Hmm I see. I would definitely be more willing to be understanding if Andreas didn't follow up with the addition of a code of conduct that seems purpose written to shield himself from criticism under the guise of tolerance.

To me it feels like a doubling down and imo having a code of conduct that basically says you must tolerate all views seems like a recipe for garnering a crowd similar to that of rumble or kick.
