      Is he the one constantly spewing hateful shit in the Issues on GitHub whenever people ask him to not use only “he” and “him” in the docs?

        I’ve only tangentially picked up things about this but this is an example for it

        (For some context, if you didn’t already know this, Ladybird originated from a SerenityOS component and the first reply is from the lead dev)

          Oh… That’s… Disappointing. Firefox it is, then, for now.

          It’s weird… It makes “business” sense, too. If you want people to use your stuff and you can choose to appeal to more people, why wouldn’t you? I think we’ve reached the stage of normalcy now where using “they” and “them” are not in itself something that would necessarily scare away right-wing users (given you want to keep appealing to that attractive market, too.)
