@devJs Yup. I want to be a creator of new and interesting things. But the more new and interesting things I consider, the more stuff I see that wokescolds will find a problem with. For example, let’s say I have an idea for writing a fiction novel. If, as a man, I write a woman protagonist or antagonist, I’m immediately guilty of sexism. If I write a male protagonist or antagonist, SAME ACCUSATION! “Why did you write a woman when you’re a man?” and “What, wasn’t a woman hero good enough for the story? Down with patriarchy!!”

@stackodev yeah, i just remembered that 'blackfaceing' thing where you weren't allowed to use the frigging gif with black people if you're white!
So I shouldn't express myself freely in order to not offend the flakes, who are more than often white people preaching about being racist for using gif with person of different skin color than my own! -
Dont worry bout offending ppl. As engineers we say and do what needs to be done in order to progress. Irrigardless of the bs we will succeed because of the skill, eventually business will get tired of being cancelled and seek us or we create our own. The road to success is arduous but those willing to stick to the end are rewarded the greatest.
On a non-Dev forum about a hobby topic, someone felt the need to go all woke about certain famous creators in said hobby. Particularly that those creators have ideas and philosophies antithetical to the (ever shifting) ideals of wokeness. And that everything those creators made should be destroyed and never allowed to be portrayed or discussed in public again. In the name of tolerance, of course.
If this starts to happen to the dev world to the point that I can no longer earn a living because it has become known that I have possibly committed or might commit Thoughtcrime because of who I associate with, I will be glad to see that asteroid, polar flip, or worldwide EMP reset. Because humanity can’t progress if no one can write, sing, play, or make something simply because they are not woke enough.
