Well that tells me the rough cultural area
alt187 might be pointing to, but I could use some more clarity. Are you saying that pronouns/transgender/queerness are the ideology? Or are you showing them as shibboleths of a broader ideological tendency that's prevailing in FOSS?
The proximity with that rough cultural area is only incidental, I think. In fact, I think if you sit around for 10 mlre years, the tide will have entirely turned.
I'm not gonna get into detail, but for me, some defining elements:
- A compulsive need to criticize, demean and replace every piece of code written in C by Rust (rarely, it's another language).
- A willingness and strong activism to separate from figures that created the FOSS landscape, like Richard Stallman.
- A sort of laxism towards non-free software, and a particularly cringy hype towards corporate lip service paid to OSS, or trojan horses.
- Subtle propositions made to consolide FOSS communities around centralized services, and promiting those.
This isn't exhaustive, because it's just off the top of my head.

Take a wild guess

For lack of a better term one might describe the ideology as "woke"
Please show me on the doll where this stranger's personal identity hurt you.
Also, you do know the
> Please show me on the doll where this stranger hurt you
phrasing is pretty closely associated with child abuse investigations, right? I don't know why you'd associate gender identity with that?
They asked a question about what ideology was being referred to, and you're angry I clarified?
And these Nazis, are they in the room with us now?
