Switch to gender neutral terms #1163

Closed inclusive-coding-bot closed 2 years ago

inclusive-coding-bot commented 2 years ago

Hey! We noticed your repository had a few instances of gendered language. We've attempted to make the changes to gender neutral language. These are not always perfect, but we hope they will assist maintainers in finding and fixing issues :)

You can learn more about this project and why gender neutral language matters at inclusivecoding.wixsite.com. If you have feedback for this bot, please provide it here.

This is a warning.

We have recently observed the presumably well-intentioned act of the author of this PR (@inclusive-coding-bot), who has been spamming pull requests to many (~50) github repos, claiming to ``switch to gender neutral pronouns''. In reality, the bot performs a dictionary replace of gendered nouns and pronouns, and the outcome is questionable at best, and literally harmful at worst. See:

To save more time for the open-source community, we recommend the maintainers of this repo to close this PR and ban this bot from further spamming.
