I thought this wouldn't be an issue in CS; thankfully it only seems to be the Js community -- or at least I hope so. Medium is now becoming less informative on technologies and software into a platform for finger pointing and complaining, which is really depressing imo.

It's happened in Ruby and Python as well—so if you hate it stay away from dynamic web languages with low entry levels.

Exactly. Hardcore languages like C++, Lisp, Haskell, etc. should be safe for a little while longer. SJW presence seems to be inversely proportional to the degree of rigor required to use a language.

I'm going to start using brainfuck for everything.

It just goes to show that SJW bullshit is what happens when you've solved all your real problems. The JS people got tired of making frameworks every three weeks, so now everything is some kind of oppression.

People who use other languages have real problems.

What do you think happened in Lambda Conf this year? no community is safe from this warfare.

Frankly, I see this comment as more offensive than what has been dragged out out on Crockford.

Drum roll...the biggest undisputed champion of all assholes is... and i love him... Linus Torvalds (tah dah!). The difference is when he says something that could be taken as offensive, the community is much less diverse, extremely so and tends to share his sentiment or simply reveres him so much they stay silent. Crockford, the genius in his own right that he is, does not get the same respect in this free for all culture JS has become. I see nothing wrong with having that type of culture but it is hard to see someone so cool being treated with disrespect and nodevember is just a cancer in my eyes at this point.
