The issue is 3 years old, I honestly dont know why it is being dredged up again. I also dont know why any of this matters, use something else if you care about the dev beliefs some years ago.

The Ladybird browser, which is highly related to this project, just did a PR event yesterday. That's why it's coming up years later, right after people were alerted to the project and it got more scrutiny. I appreciate knowing about this, as opposed to not knowing about it. It gives me the chance to evaluate whether I want to dedicate energy into supporting a browser primarily being developed by a sexist who thinks not being a cis male == politics.

Primarily being developed by someone who was most likely a sexist, three years ago, and who is now being dogpiled by people who probably weren't ever going to use his software anyway.

If anyone really cared about this, they should just fork the code and start their own inclusive version. Literally steal the asshat's project out from under him. Instead, everyone is coming out of the woodwork to try and score asinine dunks on the dev's shitty opinion.

For me personally, this is just the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm not a fan of the languages it's written in, its license, its immaturity, and that it's mostly being developed by one person. Additional minor strike for communicating through discord. Now we learn that the most influential person on the project has some real bad vibes and it's probably best to give this a pass as a whole.

In my eyes the whole selling point of the browser is being an independent underdog with a clean slate, but what's the point if we're starting with a list of IOUs for things that are already bad out of the gate.
