But yeah the fact that dessalines keeps around this fucking stooge is sus as hell. People are going to look at this bigoted freak and be like 'ah yeah all the commies do be like that' when hes basically the only one
- There's already people in that thread that are saying he's like that because he's a tankie. FFS! The vast majority of "tankies" I've seen (and I've seen a lot) are themselves trans! What are we talking about?!
  
  I randomly happened to land in a group of folks on League of Legends the other day and they invited me to their discord. Upon seeing my username (John Brown's Eldest Son) they literally said "Oh hey sweet you passed the vibe check already". Then we got to talking and half of them are trans and we were talking about how we wish there was free gender affirming care like there is in some places in China.
  Bet they would call them tankies too even though they are just bog standard western communists.
  
  also some saying "where's the evidence he's a tankie" like the op isn't a screencap of him with a castro avatar
  
  hexbear is evil because it's trans but also evil because its transphobic
  
  Hello I'm a tankie
  
  photo of me:
- i do find it funny he thinks we wouldn't be happy with him leaving the project.
  
  I'd be so fucking glad. And there'd probably be a lot more maintainers now that they don't have a psychopathic transphobe on the team
- Definitely problematic to keep them around but I don’t think dessalines shares those views based on the Socialism FAQ GitHub.
  Hopefully more people without terrible views step up as developers.
