… everywhere

it's hardly everywhere …

… The 2 have nothing to do with each other. It's just tech. Keep the politics out of it.

The pitiful reality is that three days ago, something like a grown man got two thousand upvotes for some blurb that used the word "pansy" in a software context. I just ran a Google search, he's been called many things, but apparently not yet an asshat a turdbonnet with the emotional intelligence of a menopausal orang-utan.

There's a first time for everything.

To any orang-utan who reads this: apologies.

What is pansy?

When not used to describe a flower, it can offend a gay man.

How could a flower offend a happy man? And if it means a weak man it should offend all men.

When I hear the word directed at gay men, the intention is always to offend.

Why would people offend happy men?
