Primarily being developed by someone who was most likely a sexist, three years ago, and who is now being dogpiled by people who probably weren't ever going to use his software anyway.
If anyone really cared about this, they should just fork the code and start their own inclusive version. Literally steal the asshat's project out from under him. Instead, everyone is coming out of the woodwork to try and score asinine dunks on the dev's shitty opinion.
For me personally, this is just the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm not a fan of the languages it's written in, its license, its immaturity, and that it's mostly being developed by one person. Additional minor strike for communicating through discord. Now we learn that the most influential person on the project has some real bad vibes and it's probably best to give this a pass as a whole.
