Snowe, an admin, complained about a transgender person being offended over being misgendered. Ategon made an apology post but keeps snowe on, no public apologies from snowe to the transgender people affected.

I still think it takes a significantly larger amount of time to teach someone to read and write than it is to teach someone how to program. My point is that if it were that simple, corporations would have jumped on that ASAP and made it a commonplace skill, because then they wouldn't have to deal with worker shortages and they no longer would have to pay these people a living wage. I also think It's more akin to teaching someone stonemasonry or woodworking or something than it is basic literacy, and personally I refuse to spend any extra hours of my time having to deal with programming. I already have a job and I barely have time for my hobbies, I'm not going to spend my time learning how to do someone else's.
