In the past decade, security researchers have been sounding the alarm about the dangers of memory safety flaws. "Memory unsafety is a scourge plaguing our industry," said security researcher Alex Gaynor back in 2017.

That guy first branded himself as a Python developer and got someone in Node canceled over pronouns. Then he branded himself as a PyPy proponent, then as a Rust proponent.

I didn't know he was a "security researcher", too. I always saw more evangelism than code.
