Step 1: Pick anything other than JVM language

Its really not that petty. An employee was claiming that it is GENOCIDAL!!! to participate in making fun of a _name_... yet they did it too. Something something stones and glass houses no? It is hypocritical and they are mad DHH exposed it.

I mean seriously, making fun of names leads to genocide? How dramatic.

I mean seriously, the employees were mad at issues that didn't exist. Claiming that laughing at innocent jokes can lead to genocide is just dramatic.... it is pure nonsense.

>Same too with the other name that was primarily made fun of in that Campfire session: [another customer name]. It's a surname that follows the Nordic style of "Son of [that customer name]". And it's again funny for phonetic reasons, because it starts with [word fragment from customer name]. [That word fragment] is just a funny word!

Why is this so hard to understand? The best way to describe those employees, honestly, is they are social justice warriors, the very definition of it.

This is why we can't have nice things.

>Maybe abolish capitalism?

Can you concretely define how to do this and what the alternatives are?

It's not really a political issue if you are a "he" and people call you a "she", within reason. That is pretty typical HR stuff.
