Found this blog post and found it had more insight into the issues around the dev and the toxicity in FOSS

This whole thing has jilted-lover vibes. There is no other reasonable explanation for dredging up a three-year-old PR denial than simply shit-stirring for the sake of trying to embarrass or hurt the dev in some way. It reeks of simple childish revenge.

Except there's recent examples, and it's in the docs (On the "ideologically motivated changes" point at the end), this is established

Great gods. They did as asked, but they weren’t sorry enough? I don’t even know what the complaint is. I’m obviously not the only one.

Political correctness makes my teeth hurt.

Yeah im super left-wing but this situation just stinks

Same here and agreed. I deeply believe that people deserve equal respect and recognition no matter what form their genitalia takes. This situation is not about respect or recognition. It's either a personal vendetta or the Eternally Offended and Perpetually Outraged cadre went digging for a new target. Either way, what's happened here over the past couple of days is wrong.
