      Somehow yes. It started as reasonable criticism but people like Brian Lunduke managed to interpret C and X as “conservative” while rust and wayland as “progressive.”

      He was even criticising rust projects for “having too many people with anime profile pictures” in one of my youtube recommendations.

      Rust was among the first more well known projects, which adopted a Code of Conduct, then grifters in the OSS community cried censorship, which made people flock to it to “own the right”. Even if I think it’s an overrated marriage of flesh between C and OCaml, Code of Conducts are generally a good thing, and the people who really like toxic callouts arre more of an anomaly, and likely were flown there due to the culture war stuff.
