The patriarchy is thwarted yet again! Years of planning, all for nothing.

Bro, really?

This speaks volumes about how pathetic and pandering our society has become. News Flash: There are a few lunatic feminists out there. They complain. A lot. Ignore them or god forbid, shut them down with logic, then ignore them.

Extension Brazil!

This isn't even a file extension. This is to go in the content-encoding HTTP header. Which means that nobody, literally nobody, is ever going to see this unless they're doing some heavy debugging or maybe stress testing.

Bollocks.

I feel the social implications of "Women in Tech" are to complicated too, so maybe Google should back off of that action too. Take this page down, Google: https://www.google.com/diversity/women/

The social implications of a file extension. TIL powerlessness causes great change. Or something.

The level of cuckery by the MALE devs is just sad.

So they changed it from "bro," which has a friendly connotation, to "brazil," where life is cheap and people get murdered just because they're breathing? Fucking ridiculous.
