electron tamer in training 🍂when people are making a fuss because some free software made political choices, for example implementing an Easter egg for the Trans day of visibility, they:
- are trying to gaslight you, because any piece of software that is used by many people is political, in its design choices, in its very existence, etc
- want to profit from free labor without ever having to think about any consequences, all is totally absolutely free for them as if it were obvious that everything was at their free disposal
- they don't want to think about WHO is creating and maintaining the software for them, and spoiler, its often marginalized people. so they want to profit from oppression without compensation
- want to justify their nauseating bigotry with false neutrality. nothing is neutral in this society
in this case i'm talking about the hilarious "oh no a trans flag in my totally neutral software? is my server being hacked?!":: https://forum.yunohost.org/t/am-i-hacked-or-is-this-something-new/36203
