It's the one with a dev that thinks that replacing "he" by "they" is political propaganda?

Yeah, no thanks.

for someone who can speak a language that lacks gendered pronouns, this "hysteria" over he/she/they is ridiculous!

Well on the contrary you should understand it more. A gendered pronoun carries an idea of gender, and having a genderless pronoun frees the sentence of this gender assumption. Nothing very hard to understand.

even your comment is, for me, coming from that ridiculous tension
