"It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome."

The political stuff is just an extra bonus.

I’m not a racist, I’m just not, it’s like calling someone a pedophile because they don’t find a particular type of mature person sexually appealing (over other sexually mature people, obviously).

But people keep telling me unless I do what they tell me to, in the way they tell me to (in a perpetual purity test kind of way) then I am actually leaning in to racist ideology and dogma.

Please, I just want to enjoy technology with other people who enjoy technology. I don’t care at all: the tone of your skin, where you come from, who you sleep with or what hole you piss from.

I’m also anti-DEI because everywhere I have seen policies enacted it becomes a circus. But you are totally welcome to work with me regardless of who you are, I just think its off-topic when talking about rendering systems to talk about who we are.

EDIT; flagging me only really proves that you’re not mature enough to have this conversation.
