So, I've read the RMS joke discourse now. I'm one of the few people who actually have a trauma related to abortions, and I to be honest, I found the joke hilarious. It's a comic relief after a retraumatising read.
What's triggering is the name of the function. If the concern trolls that removed the joke were REALLY considerate, they'd rename the fucking funktion. Putting a TW in the manual would be an acceptable band aid, but to fix it, you'd have to rename he whole thing.
I get that the bigger issue here is the powerstructures of FLOSS organisations, but what NEEDS TO be addressed too is that a bunch of techbros get to decide what's traumatising or not. THE JOKE WAS FINE. The handling of it is disastrous.
Do you wonder why women avoid tech? Because no one is comfortable with typing in "abort" in the command line while bleeding out after having a REAL abortion. Because our reproductive health is seen upon as a joke. [See next toot]
Because concern trolls get to decide how we lift react to the functions they shouldn't have given shitty names in the first place. Because we're never seen as humans.
The function could have been named "remove" instead, and there wouldn't have been an issue. The problem isn't the joke, it is the men blind of their ignorance and privilege. Men with power. That's the real problem here.
