It depends which language you're talking about I guess. The "Arduina" bit is clearly a joke

How familiar are you with subversion of gendered language in feminist spaces? Calling it an "Arduina board" would not be out of the ordinary at all.

Which, by the way, they would definitely know, and I very much doubt they are satirizing feminists.

Yes I would say I am quite familiar with such spaces and have even read relevant theory.

The subversion of language is sometimes poetic, sometimes just "play".

Regardless, the fact that so much of this masc-biased website's energy is being sucked in on this little prickle is evidence that the strategy is quite effective

In the same way that covering yourself in feces is effective to keep undesirables away, yes. It works. It keeps everybody away, though, and make people think less of you.
