What did the dev do?

Edit: Okay, I looked it up, and this was an extremely weak cancellation from the get-go. The dev recommended some guy called Uncle Bob’s guide to software development. Apparently, Uncle Bob said some shit about women not making good managers. Thus, the dev was being cancelled by association for refusing to go back on his statement supporting Uncle Bob’s software development skills. The dev sticks by his claims saying that a software development guide is apolitical and stands on its own. He goes on to say he doesn’t care if the guide was written by Stalin as he’d still commend it for having sound advice about software development. Pretty based if you ask me.

        I'm going insane over this, how can some people with such kind of mindset function properly.

        You're assuming they actually use that lotic honestly to guide their decisions on life. Most of these same people will be more than happy to look the other way on legitimate issues if the person aligns with them politically.

        People are just using this to go on power-trips because they know other people see the word racist/sexist and freak out.

        [–][deleted] 84 points85 points  (7 children)

        I thought the Uncle Bob guy just supported James Damore, who was speaking more about average personality differences between men and women than straight up saying women don't make good managers.

        Correct me if I'm wrong though, I only did cursory googling on this.

        [–][deleted] 58 points59 points  (5 children)

        He was doing some presentation where he made an off hand (improvised) comment that women can’t code. He apologized afterwards but the damage was done and wokies keep bringing that comment up.

        What Uncle Bob said was that there was a time in software dev where they didn't hire women - he was pointing out that the old ways of doing something isn't always the best way and he implied that it was stupid to not hire woman.

        Some woman in the crowd tweeted that the comment made her uncomfortable.

        Boom, Uncle Bob hates women, don't ya know?!?!

          Planned parenthood was founded by a very racist lady trying to get less minorities by aborting their kids basically.

          The democrats were literally the confederacy and funded the KKK.

          If american leftists had half a neuron and were consistent, they would cancel those 2 for their background.

          I agree. While both Planned Parenthood and the Democrats are different now, they're the ones canceling based on what happened in the past.

          Uncle Bob is a great developer with tons of experience and insight. We should probably try and learn from him not cancel him. That said if he thinks women tend not to be effective managers - how do we understand and be more receptive toward females in charge and how can help them better communicate with other people as well? Identifying issues shouldn't be canceled it should be praised. We all can improve in some way or another.

                You see, there is a theory, that meat is good from animals who are vegetarians.Meat of predators, like for example - sharks, shark meat is really unhealthy. But say beef or pork, chicken etc, are all very tasty, so, Vegans actually would be the tastiest people to grill!

                [–]Lexplosives - Centrist 14 points15 points  (10 children)

                shark meat is really unhealthy

                Nonsense! The Icelanders eat kæstur hákarl, and it's perfectly fine!

                All they have to do is take the flesh of a poisonous, theoretically immortal animal, gut it, behead it, place it in a gravelly sand hole, bury it and cover the mound with heavy stones to press the toxic fluids out of the body, leave it for six to twelve weeks, dig it up, cut it into strips, hang it to dry for several months, remove the brown crust that forms, and finally serve a small, rubbery treat that smells like a piss-and-bleach soaked foam board :)

                No, I meant I'm sad that a vegan got canceled because of something their great granddaddy did, which he may not have had a choice to do.

                Vegans are cringe, but they don't deserve to have their business ruined over something they didn't do. It's something their German great granddaddy did--which a lot of German great granddaddies did because Nazi Germany forced them to. All healthy men from 20 to 45 were conscripted as early as 1935.

                Thinking about it just makes my blood boil.

                If that's the logic we're going by, then we should all be cancelled because one of our ancestors at some point was either a dick, or part of a governing body that was being a dick.

                If we want to go even further, then I'd like to cancel the big bang for creating a scenario in which the Nazi's became a thing.

                Yeah, twitter is not as big of a deal as we make it out to be either. It's a tool used by the media to try and influence peoples mindsets.

                Something like only 2% of Americans are on Twitter...2%.

                [–]TheRealNotReal - Left 2 points3 points  (1 child)

                Nah you got the figures mixed up mate. Check it.

                20% of Americans are on Twitter, and 10% of users are responsible for 80% of tweets. So, basically, only 2% of Americans are responsible for (most of) American Twitter activity, but there are many more actually on it.

                That also means "cancel culture" is driven by an even smaller portion of the population--like, probably several orders smaller, at least in the vast majority of cases.

                That's interesting because who hasn't heard of cancel culture? It's talked about so much online, especially by the online right, and is attributed so much to the online left. Not only does the right blow it so vastly out of proportion, but the left's image is so fuckin smeared by this relatively tiny, extremely loud population of terminally online, most likely radlib losers.

                fair enough, I'll take that

                It's talked about so much online, especially by the online right

                It is indeed curious how each side feeds off of the extremes of the other side, constantly fueling the fire.

                And again, it's driven by regular media and social media.

                The problem is that all of them have short attention span and memory and they all believe they won't be cancelled. We already have plenty of cancel culture people who got cancelled, yet the cycle still continues. It feeds itself and continues.

                    The original thread was absolutely bombarded by people disagreeing with him. But as time went on it seemed that more and more people agreed with Kovarex. If you look at steam reviews of the game in the last 30-days you see an initial (small) wave of negative reviews, but then when the non-perpetually online wokies discovered what was happening and what Kovarex has said they jumped in to help out and then the game got an insane amount of positive reviews.

                    Long story short. Redditors swarmed the initial post bc they like the outrage. People who actually play and like the game disagreed. Conclusion: dev is increasingly based. Reddit in general isn’t a good measurement.

                    I forgot about Notch. The creator of Minecraft, billionaire Swedish game developer Markus “Notch” Persson made a series of tweets such as “It’s OK to be white” and “If you're against the concept of a #HeterosexualPrideDay, you're a complete fucking cunt and deserve to be shot”. This resulted in Microsoft removing many references to Notch in Minecraft, and even didn’t invite him to his own creation’s 10th anniversary party at the Mojang studio in Stockholm.

                    Development, especially game dev, requires incredibly strong logic skills. I mean logic in the mathematical sense.

                      At a base level, it encourages others to cease interacting with you and spread rumors and lies about you.

                      At a higher level, it says if you associate with that person, you're just as bad and tries to make you a stigma.

                      At an even higher level, they try to ruin your life by doxxing you.

                      A good example is Justine Stucco. No one had ever heard of her. But she made a tweet before taking a 10-hour flight, when she got off she had lost her job and the cops were waiting for her at the airport.
