I never found the right phrase (contempt culture) to describe it but it is unfortunately still too prevalent in computing. The reference to CoC backlash is still very common in some projects/spaces right now and it hits me really hard because ive read about queer and trans contributors feeling unsafe or leaving because of it and things like it (Asahi Linux project comes to mind which had *Chan trolls transvestigating the project leaders, fucking yikes).
I think its more prevalent since the passion people have about programming is unfortunately not where any of the money and livelihoods are (thanks to capitalism) and so there’s this need to be loud and project more.
Nothing like contributing to a project for years and knowing your deadname is in so many commits… Cant force push to the project to remove your deadname, but dont want to keep contributing under your deadname, but its also sus if some brand new person suddenly shows up with intimate knowledge of parts of the codebase that youre the only knowledgable person on… Theres no good way forward lol
