The forums where people discuss development and support of an operating system are not exactly "the public square" that social platforms are trying to be. Seems reasonable to have a "rule" that moderators of privately hosted forums can point to when they kick/ban users who are considered to be harassing others for any reason.
I guess it is discriminatory towards people who speak their mind unfiltered. What do you expect from an OS who's logo is a snowflake?
It doesn't read as political to me, just a list of the most commonly cited ways that people harass one another online.
OpenBSD is BASED AF

Most rules start out as reasonable seeming. The purpose in this case is some kind of "gender inclusiveness". If you are good programmer, who cares if somebody says you are a faggot? In the era I started in, that was pretty much the norm. Might as well say, "Hey, how's life"?

Exactly.

Many changes like this don't know. "Inclusive language" though is political. Make no mistake. Again, if you are a good coder, code. That's the inclusiveness.
