The problem with XLibre is political, not technical. When they came out they made a big deal of being the anti-woke free-speech no-vaccine-mandate alternative to woke cancel-culture Xorg, which instantly ruined their reputation before it even began.

Such an unforced error given how irrelevant any of this is to their project.

I think you're confusing how XLibre was presented by others[1], with how the project presents itself[2].

Disclaimer: I find their screenshot unfortunate (it promotes ideologies that are arguably harmful to healthy bodies and souls).

Your comment is missing how the project initially presented itself and the main dev being an anti-vaxxer certainly puts those words into a bad context.

		In essence, that's not a lot different different from the section I linked to in the current version. But I appreciate that the dev could have curbed his emotions while writing the README.md, if for no other reason, then to cater to public appearance. As for the lead dev's stance on mandatory vaccination, that should not play a role in assessing the need for and the technical merits of the project. Attempting to cancel a project based on such personal views of its maintainers is exactly my issue here.

Yet another transphobic throwaway? Color me surprised!

Your labels notwithstanding, I will continue to sympathize with people suffering from gender dysphoria and oppose mutilation.

No need to lie about it. Although my suggestion would be to try minding your own business :)

You're making me into a boogeyman so that _you_ can hate _me_ and do as you please.

Oh, you are the victim now? Idk who you are, other than someone who hates trans people. I am indifferent to you.

		I can't possibly be the victim of anything as long as you stick to the party line. After all, isn't doing its bidding new morality, and isn't its opposition nothing but evil ghouls? </sarcasm> If I really hated people, perhaps I would suggest to troubled ones that hating their own body to the point of mutilating it is the solution to their problems

the OC was a throwaway, so I felt I might as well make one to respond. Now I'm just using it to reply to replies.
