That is just one of the reasons voting in elections are secret

Does it even has smell of voting or any kind of technical discussion?
Either they are just riding hype train for sake of publicity, or it is newspeak-ish "Prayer Test" for witches, that those dues hurrying to pass, hoping they wont be burned.

Oh this just gets better by the minute. I bet all the Chinese companies writing data sheets for their ICs are really giving a flying fuck about some irrelevant virtue signalling fart generators selling overpriced crap on the other side of the planet deciding to get together and whine about a couple of words. Literally just sitting there pissing themselves laughing.
The whole thing is as ridiculous as Adafruit’s wearable arduino tat section.

If I was a teenager, I'd be making cool wearable stuff for my girlfriend. We are just getting too old and grumpy, and our wives probably have more expensive tastes now too! :D

Asians gotta be laughing their ass but they will also do that nonsense for money. They aren't your saviors, only you and card carrying white supremacists will keep using master/slave :P

How can you tune out of some idiots going out of their way to make your life just a little bit more miserable each day, day after day?
It's simple dude: go out on the street to support BLM and maybe one day racism will end and so will your misery. Virtue signaling on the Internet about that one black coworker you once had who wasn't offended by nothing doesn't buy you a pass anymore, and for good reasons :P

I'm that guy who asks people not to use sexist or homophobic language. Now I suddenly find I am on "the wrong side", and the mob has pitchforks and they are coming for me.

it serves you well (and that's a plural you, by the way :P) to see a bit of the other side of the pitchfork :box:

--- End quote ---
That's two counts of wrong; the article literally says nothing like that and I remember one rather vocal neo-nazi who used to post here.

That is sadly the state of a lot of things in the Western society - there's an insane amount of time and resources being funneled into solving imaginary problems.
