I’m not “meh” about denouncing bigots. If you’ve supported a bigot and you don’t actively and vocally walk it back, that’s not “meh”. That’s a refusal to acknowledge the issue and the harm done in normalising the voices and visibility of bigots
If we agree the issue is about denouncing alone, and not any material activity, maybe the intellectually honest thing would be to update
tech company funding racists and transphobes
They support and fund DHH
to say what you actually mean — a tech company that refused to take a stance outside of their purview. (As a company). Which, I agree, is not exactly a badge of honour.
(Not to mention they never, once, funded DHH directly. But sure, retweets win at the exchange rate.)

I’m not going to dance around words because you want to protect the sensibilities of a bigot.
I want you to stop lying about what Framework did or does, that’s all.
They positioned themselves as the ethical choice, financially supported a bigot, and advertised his distro, then made excuses for it when called out.
Kinda like you’re doing
Frankly, I can live with that framing.
On both counts, even.

🤔 Is talking shit about a bigot for their bigoty ways not bigotry itself?
