- User doesn't like the fact that buildbot (which they think is maintained by mozilla) uses "master/slave" terminology https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-buildbot/issues/2 . Mozilla gives buildbot $15k for changing it https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/12/10/mozilla-open-source...

- User doesn't like that dining philosophers is cited with some male and/or gender-neutral pronouns and placeholders (even though the original exposition was already changed to female pronouns) -- proceeds to change the rest of the pronouns to female (I guess gender-neutral didn't make sense) https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/25640

- User thinks "bad code style" is offensive https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41646

- User doesn't like brotli encoding type being called "bro" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366559#c147

- User thinks that the code of conduct is too general in its suggestions that all people be respected and treated fairly -- it needs to explicitly cite certain groups https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-www/issues/268

This stuff is absolutely ridiculous. Write a code of conduct, make sure everyone is respected, and make that the end of it. Changing documentation to gender-neutral pronouns is something I can actually get behind -- nevertheless, that's still not fair apparently.
