Why do people care that people care?
I am interested in hearing what happens at reddit because it affects how likely people are to leave, and where they might go if they do leave.
I spend far too much time on the computer.

Seriously. I'm sure some people will hyperfixate on the lipstick/rouge example you gave, but generally many guys don't understand or think about makeup and thus have no awareness of how it impacts how they're attracted to people. And then they have the gall to lecture others about what works and what doesn't.
Also shoutout to some of the straight up sexist replies in this thread. Nice to see a sizable chunk of reddit neckbeards made their way over here.
If they recreated it from scratch though, I don't see what was stolen. Unless they incorporated your implementation somehow, I can't see how this rises to stealing. There can be many competing implementations towards the same spec, and using one over the other is not necessarily theft.
I'm kind of confused. What work did they take? From the communications, it looks like you wrote some code, it wasn't accepted, and Leah wrote their own implementation, from scratch. Is that not true? Unless they based their work off your code somehow, I don't see how anything was stolen, potential dickishness from the maintainer aside.
It's really scary to me, as a trans person with many trans friends, how eager much of the far left is to write us off as sacrifices. I guess my life doesn't matter to you because I'm a "precious white American" (and this disingenuous horseshit totally ignores the fact that POC trans Americans will undoubtedly be the most affected).
But hey, at least I can feel as I draw my last tortured breaths in a christo-fascist deathcamp some solace in knowing that online tankies got to feel satisfaction in helping punish Biden by helping elect an honest-to-god fascist.
Thanks for this lol. I started to respond yesterday but as I was thinking about their arguments halfway through I decided it wasn't worth my time or energy (validated by their response to this comment LOL).
I think part of the problem with this discussion is that a lot of us who were circumcised without consent spend most of our early years thinking it's normal and there is nothing to be upset about. So when people point out the practice is generally very harmful, it is upsetting. It can be hard to process at first, and I think, unfortunately, some people double down on traditional rationalizations as a defense mechanism.
That being said, I am not a fan of people referring to my genitalia as mutilated/mangled or to me as damaged. It is completely valid to be upset about having your foreskin removed without your consent, but I feel sometimes people veer a little too far in projecting their own hurt onto others. Many people live fulfilling lives with circumcised penises, and some even do it by choice, so, speaking strictly for myself, I generally am glass half-full about it.
