it’s remarkable that the post spends so many paragraphs priming the reader into thinking Tim’s an irreplaceable part of the Python community and should never have been suspended, and now at least two people have gotten to that exact sentence and gone “no actually fuck Tim”
if memory serves, it gets much more mask off from there, but I remember I didn’t finish the entire thing before I closed the tab and started blocking Tim’s fans
Actually reading the python discussion boards, what’s striking is the immense volume of chatter produced by Tim, always in couched in:
“Hypothetically”
“Everyone tells me they are terrified of inclusivity, you wouldn’t know because they are terrified of admitting it to YOU”
“I’m not saying that you are an awful person 😉” (YMMV: But I find his use of the winking face emoji truly egregious)
“Hey I’m liberal like you, let me explain everything wrong with it”
“Hey we were inclusive before any of this PC bullshit” proceeds to use unpleasant descriptors of marginalized individuals, and how very welcome they were, despite what he seems to see as “shortcomings”
In his heart he must understand how bad he his, or he wouldn’t couch his discourse in so much bad faith, and he wouldn’t make so much of a stink out of making removing Python Fellow status more easy to remove.
lol yeah this was the line at which the post revealed its entire ass
