Linus is all tough talk, but when it comes to SJWs he becomes an apologist docile puppy. You'd think that, for once, his asshole attitude could've been used for something, but nope--- he caves to Neomarxists, just like the rest of today's clown world.

I believe his daughter was infected by feminism. She is a signatory to the Post-Meritocracy Manifesto and is a full-blown intersectional feminist. Linus has a choice: either go along with this or accept that his daughter is mentally ill. I can understand why a parent might deceive themselves rather than accept the latter.

LMAO, this is hilarious.... Why does her opinion matter, did she also develop a kernel like her daddy? Nope. No wonder why these people are against merit.

Her wealthy family explains why she got in to feminism. After all, she has to find some way to become oppressed despite having opportunities most people will never see. Even if she's talented in her own right, which is quite possible, we know why her signature matters. Daddy's the Linux guy. That's apparently why the opinion of this spoilt little lady matters.

But did you look at the list? It's actually better.
Also, the behaviour is kinda par for the course in Silicon Valley, so that's to be expected.

It's not better.
Changing the terms validates the idea that terminology can be "harmful". In reality, nobody ever got hurt because the word "slave" was used in more than one way. But now any old books or any of the other places the word "slave" is used will be viewed as "racist" and bad.
This can only escalate.

We don't need a list in the first place, it's just enabling more of this neomarxist bullshit.

I seems he took some time off to quit his agressive talking, or something like that
