Main programmer leaves project after public shaming for rejecting gendered pronoun changes as trivial.

I just started looking at node.js pursuant to some mobile device programming I'll be doing for my job soon. Delightful to know that hyper-accelerated SJW pissing matches over what appears to be trivial things are invading that community too. Can't wait 'til I have to go looking for some tech support.

Lot of pissy gits in that thread.

Care to link to a proof that he or she actually left?

It seems, from my outsider perspective, like this programmer was being something of an ass. It's not that they wrote "him" and people got pissy about it; one programmer wrote "him", another corrected it to "they", and this programmer undid the change.

If people in this movement are going to (rightly) call out abuse campaigns when they call all abusers "he", we can at least recognize the importance of gender-neutrality.
