Looks like there's plenty of ground and from what I read about vaxry, they seem to be a bigot at best and a cryptofash at worst.

That's because he is increadibly bias and is presenting "facts" in the worst possible light by manipulating context. The references they have are bias at best https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-hyprlandsCommunity

for instance the pronouns thing. https://blog.vaxry.net/resource/articleDrew/pic1.png

Key takeaways:

The victim misgenders staff on purpose. The victim doesn't seem to even treat their pronouns seriously, stating it's only to make people angry. Labelling this as a "harassment campaign" is a joke.

For another instance of how people are using willful ignorance to attack vaxry, look no further then the recent email

https://blog.vaxry.net/resource/articleFDO/LyudeMails.pdf from https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2024-fdo-and-redhat

  • Hazing someone in your discord because they have pronouns in their bio
  • Speaking pretty bluntly against queer people and minorities at large
  • "at 15 he doesnt even know what he will be studying at uni and he already wanna go get AIDS?"
  • "I think this server's motto should be 'love guns, hate damn minorities™

Vaxry got warned for these.

  • The first one as went over, an already bias situation, nothing to do with bigotry
  • The second one is somehow bad? Im not sure i follow, they give no explanations are context for this. Simply "speaking bluntly" should not be taken as bigotry.
  • I'm personally not sure what anything the 3rd point has to do with bigotry.
  • the forth one is best explained from vaxry's response

This relates to the 4th quote you gave. For what it is worth, that is a direct quote from a comedy

Back to drews garbage, he quotes the podcast clearly hoping people don't watch it, youtube link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nskemNa_Kn4 , full link is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ic1zzb_xl4

The whole "not as bad as calling someone the n-word thing" yes vaxry did say that, but he also said, before and after, that yes it was unprofessional behavior, and that it's not allowed anymore. Something drew very conveniently left out

He compared himself to Terry Davis, the late operating system developer whose struggles with mental illness were broadcast for the world to see, citing a video in which he answers a phone call and refers to the person on the phone by the N-word “ten times” – Vaxry compares this to his approach to answering “stupid questions”.

This is some of the most malicious ways of relaying what Vaxry talked about. Just listen to it yourself https://youtu.be/nskemNa_Kn4?t=730

Perhaps not worth much, but my interpetation of it had nothing to do with racism as devault so heavily implies here, It as he said is about the attitude.

I highly reccomend watching the content and replies, because drew's entire thing is based on taking various things out of context

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
