Will Donglegate Affect Your Decision To Attend PyCon?
theodp writes "Its Code of Conduct describes PyCon as 'a welcoming, friendly event for all.' But will the post-conference fallout from this year's 'Donglegate' debacle and proposed remedies affect your decision — one way or the other — to attend next year's PyCon in ironically naughty Montreal? And even if not, could 'Donglegate' influence the-powers-that-be whose approval you'll need to attend? How about conference sponsors?"
The reason being is that ignorant twat of a childish woman won't show her face there again after all the shit she caused.
What was a simple joke between friends about big dongles exploded in to some sexist accusations and death threats.
I cannot believe she even tried to pull the sexist bullshit. Come on now, way to damage your own cause you moron.
The way she talked about how she was protecting the future of programming and saving the day absolutely disgusted me. I hope this follows her for the rest of her life for being such an obnoxious twat.
She could have easily just turned around and said "hey guys want to keep it down with the jokes?" and be done with it. No, she turned a private matter in to full-blown public matter. Absolutely terrible.
But PyCon had nothing to do with it. They just dealt with their own regulations fairly.
The persons who never and equally broke the rules was her by taking pictures of people that led to harassment, and them by one lewd joke.
Then rather than being too self-absorbed with with your own attendance/non-attendance, you should be more concerned about the numbers and quality of developers that are being [scared off/pissed off] from attending through fear of being made into the next internet monster by politically correct "behavior normalization" nazis.
If I were a women and I turned around to see so many ugly emaciated neck beards I'd probably panic too.
Too many people overreacted on this one. You did too. Congratulations.

Fucking stupid. We're in the 21th century, and you still haven't got over sex? It's a part of life, and it's fun to joke about it. Women dress in sexy attires. Men tell dirty jokes. We each have our own way of expressing ourselves. If you can't handle a few dick jokes, then GTFO.
You say you want the world of coding to welcome woman. We do. But you want US to change our ways. You need us to accommodate everything to the "fragile" females, who can't handle reality? Dirty jokes are rape. Flirting is rape. Looking at you is rape. Woman ARE NOT FRAGILE. They can handle dick jokes, they can talk about sex, and if somebody flirts with them on the job, they can either fuck him or tell him to go away. They don't need protection. It's not Woman in general who are fragile and need protection, it's YOU. It's not a female issue, it's a YOU issue. YOU are fragile, and you have problems with your own sex life, so you can't handle people behaving in a NATURAL way. Go see a psychologist, so that YOU can change to accommodate the world instead of expecting we all change the world to accommodate you.

WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?
I hadn't heard that she got fired.
Good. Someone needs to stand up to immature little bitches like that. Now if the person who fired the guy involved gets shitcanned himself and the guy who originally got fired gets his old job back WITH back pay, I'll actually have a little more faith in humanity.
So tired of this sensitivity obsessed corporate world. I don't give a good goddamn fuck if you're offended by something you overheard. If you don't like it, ignore it or have the balls to say something yourself. Rather than catering to these whiny little bitches (both male and female) who run to HR/twitter/whatever every time somebody makes a comment they don't approve of, we should rain flaming sulphur down on them until they get an idea of what little real impact words actually have.
To all of you over 12 years old who go running to some adult-figure every time you're offended by words, grow the fuck up or die in a fire.
