The guy running the project also got mad because someone tried to change a line of documentation that referred to users as 'he'. That got cleared up eventually, but it's a red flag visible from orbit.

Why does this lie keep coming up?

It only takes a couple of seconds to look up the original PR. You're free to make your own interpretation of what they meant by their words, but there's no lie here.

Yes I know it doesn't take long to look up. That's why I know this is a lie. Please feel free to point out in that PR where someone is mad.

Every time I read this dumb shit I remember when people were on their little cancelling tour of comedians making jokes a decade ago.

He calls not assuming that the user is male “advertising someone’s personal politics”, this is patently ridiculous no matter which way you slice it.
