    I lost some faith in humanity upon reading that such drama over attitude that I would consider juvenile at best and mildly inappropriate at worst is still sparking debate.

    I regained some faith in humanity upon reading many people trying to put things into perspective - this guy is not evil incarnate.

    Also - and this is catered to American audiences - do not forget that this guy is from Poland. American left-wing values do not stretch all over the world.

      American left-wing values

      Hold up, what? The Overton window of US politics is so skewed to the right that what is usually considered left-wing there is right-wing elsewhere. US left-wing (read right-wing for much of the rest of the world) values are definitely common globally due to American cultural export (read military hegemony and neocolonialism).

        The so called woke ideology is in fact spreading all over the world although I believe the layman is somewhat unaware of what is really going on. I am from Europe. In recent years, in my country it has become a common saying that “we are not allowed to say anything”. Common people have become aware of this trend, though they have yet to pinpoint it to a political argument or even to the country of origin.

          woke ideology

          Like basic respect for others?

          not allowed to say anything

          Yeah, this is just not true. Unlike those who are actually marginalized, these people say nasty shit and claim that being called a dickhead for it is a violation of their freedom of speech. The reality is that they actually want some sort of immunity to backlash for their own words and actions, effectively limiting other people’s freedom of expression.

      This is just far left acting like how they always act, isolating folks to satisfy their reaching arguments. This does no benefit to FDO. If you ask all these people for any source they will share a 2yr old drew vaults blogpost. They can just go to discord or github and screenshot the alleged “bigoted fascist pos owner and community” but for now they will just stick to making hypothetical scenarios of how they will get harassed for contributing.
