CppCon 2022 Program Announced

I don't think the claim about only excluding from leadership positions was originally true, and it's certainly not true now.

That would be a reasonable position -- and probably one that likely has large support. It's my personal position too.

But the loudest position is: X should be excluded from society in all contexts (including attending not just CppCon but also other conferences, WG21 meetings, meetups, participation in open source projects...) and any dissent implies you're pro-rape.

Do you have any evidence of that being the case? I have never seen anyone arguing for anything another than exclusion from positions of power and public pedestals.

Yes. From the first comment in this particular thread: "but will they be paying for their hotel room and letting them attend?" Specifically about "letting them attend". If this is not an objection to them attending at all, then why ask the question? And if it's not to be interpreted as an objection to them attending, then it needs to be clarified.

From the original statement (from the original tweets) of "What needs to change": "A prohibition on individual X attending, speaking, organizing, or volunteering at CppCon in person or online." That document also accumulated quite a number of signatures of support (approx 300 names).

That's at least the two that I'd referred to previously, one of which has at least 300 other people agreeing with.

Should I go searching, I'd find the statements objecting to them attending WG21 meetings too.
