Also there’s bit of a controversial topic lately that has made a certain demographic feel like this place is about as unwelcoming to them as much of the internet.

Genuinely asking, is it about the bear? I saw a post about it in [email protected] the other day, I felt sorry for women who encountered such toxicity

That is what I am referring to. And the broader attention it has brought to the topic of misogyny in general, even when bears aren't really the topic of discussion. From pull request discussions to discussions about misogyny vs misandry, it seems like a lot more popular topic lately.

Interesting, do you have any example in mind?

The bear thing? Yeah, its stupid, but its based in ignorance of bears. You can educate without being toxic. Its tough to do in an internet comment section though.
