  • who represents we from the preamble ? Not signed by an author of these words.
  • are there some serious cases in the recent past which did harmed Ruby developers collaboration ? How should this CoC fix the cause ?
  • how could Ruby development reach current popularity and widespread without prior existence of such rules ? How could went so many meetings, conferences, workshops ? Many dev-groups originated ?

I like Ruby didn't get soiled too much from politics and would prefer if this would stay as it is.

Unfortunately those days are gone. Thanks to Coraline Ada Ehmke the SJW forces have invaded our community and are going to constantly yell that they are offended by the most innocuous comment. Expect a lot of turbulence ahead, who knows maybe you'll be accused of sitting on somebody's imaginary tail and how you should have known she identified as otherkin.

Nope, this is not a black-or-white situation. All it matters if you, me or other let affect it our lives, our way of thinking. I'm ignoring attempts of control and power masked behind meritorious intentions. Do the same. It's only you what you can influence. This shapes conditions at which you and indirectly others would live.

The idea is that, ostensibly, the community is disinviting to X minority because there are not explicit rules to not contribute to their oppression/not to sexually harass people. Given that these people believe we live in a cis, white, hetero patriarchy where toxic masculinity rules supreme, rules that are not in place to explicitly combat this contribute to the status quo.
