It's super easy for closed source software companies to smear FOSS developers, with just a hint, a rumor or an insinuation. And they have the big money megaphone to shout through. So easy to shut out FOSS through FUD.
"Hey, did you hear? RMS is a perv."
"Did you know that ESR is a supporter of communist China?"
"The author of Brave is...*gasp*...a right-winger."
That's all it takes. Nobody says, "Bill Gates is an evil man, hoarding wealth."

We need to change our mindset, separate the art from the artist & stop being so judgemental.
"Hey, did you know that Volkswagen is the brainchild of Adolf Hitler? What?!? You drive a VW? You are a nazi monster!!! Shame on YOU!!!!!"
"Did you know that IBM supported the Nazi war effort? You use chips that originated from the x8086 series? You are a horrible, horrible person!!!"
If the same lens were turned on the rumor-starters, they would burn!

Did you know that the merchandise you bought online, was handled by many people, as it was manufactured, packaged, and shipped to you? And that 17.3% of those people were...*gasp*...transphobes...21.9% were racists...11.5% have been known to say misogynistic things...and 29.8% don't wash their hands?
