I really hate how liking a hobby that has been overrun by a certain demographic or people of a certain ideology means that you are probably of said demographic or ideology.

Like it gets really annoying that people will call you a tranny for being in to something like ROM hacking or installing Arch Linux on microwave ovens. Let me enjoy what I fucking enjoy. I'm in to that stuff and cutting my dick off has never crossed my mind.

@xianc78 yeah I get it, it's better to actually promote sane people engaging with the hobby than to abandon it, declare it untouchable and say anyone who likes it is a troon. In the end there wouldn't be any hobbies left if we did that with everything.
@Zergling_man @kerosene @xianc78 they got turbo fucked by the hrt epidemic you think they were bad before but there's a reason vrc trolling videos are the Jerry springer episodes of this generation
I get similar comments for learning/developing in Rust. Like, I haven't trooned out and I also haven't zealously proselytized for Rust either. Use whatever programming language you want

@kroner Literally the Python community has been suffering the same problem long before Rust.

Though most of the hate from Rust seems to stem from a theory that it was made to undermine the GPL by rewriting GPLd programs in it.

@xianc78 tinfoil theory: installing unstable people who only have their cultist in-group (which will destroy them for dissent, like cults do) is perfect to get backdoors into things.
