I was so excited for Ladybird, right up until I found out the project lead and main developer, Andreas Kling, is scared of pronouns.
Again, I'm aware some folks think this is annoying, but if you're the kind of user who shuns Brave because the CEO does stupid shit, Ladybird probably isn't the way to go either. Not for the moment, at least. People deserve the right to make informed decisions, so I'll keep sharing this, and I encourage others to do the same when relevant, but don't harass anyone, please.
If you don't care about any of this, it's a very interesting project. I just can't say I approve.
Annnnnd here's the other side of the story. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5823666/ladybird-web-browser-developer-attacked-by-unhinged-dishonest-activists
That’s ridiculous.
Forcing all pronouns to male is injecting politics into it, and to turn around and say “dont inject politics into it” is ridiculous. The dev is a fucking idiot, as is whoever wrote that garbage.
Go ahead and read the current build instructions since the original commit is from 3 years ago. https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/BuildInstructions.md
Do you see the use of pronouns anywhere?

July, they are still pulling this shit today. Fuck off with your dishonest nonsense.
