Looking at this user's comment history, they've been beating this drum for a while: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

> Hacker culture is inherently antiauthoritarian, therefore queer and leftist. If you have a problem with queer leftists in your hacker community, you are the problem and need to leave.

> Leadership in the hacker community doesn't look like RMS or ESR anymore. The culture is queer, trans, furry, neurodiverse.

> Hacker culture is queer, furry, neurodiverse. Deal with it.

> Hacker culture is queer now, and queer, kinky (but SSC) sex is an integral part of that.

> Hacker culture is trans/furry/otaku/plural/neuroqueer. Get used to it.

> The tech sector and hacker culture are increasingly queered.

> Times have changed. Social justice is now a core part of hacker ideals.

I don't recognize these claims either. The hackers I know are much more diverse in identity and belief than the narrow subculture described above.
