      i know there was a thing at the beginning of the project where they wrote a lot of the documentation with masculine pronouns (assuming the reader was male), and when they were asked to change that for gender neutral pronouns, they said no because “they don’t want politics in their project”

      beyond that however, idk if they eventually changed that or if they did other bad stuff

      edit: here is a source

        Not really. A random person submitted a PR with just one pronoun change in the code comments (not the documentation, and not anything remotely visible to the end user).

        The developer rejected the (useless, in my opinion) PR.
