I'd murder that vagina....

If you claim word fork has no sexual connotations in this context, do you want to tell me how exactly then, do you fork a repo with a dongle?

And how does the fact the girl is not a good person in any way invalidate the fact that the guy in question violated the rules of the conference?

As someone who personally maintains several code repositories using multiple software versioning systems including GIT, SVN, and CVS, I am absolutely confidant I have a firm grasp of the technical meaning of the term fork.

The descriptions I have seen elsewhere seem to indicate they were in fact arrogantly 'bro'ing it up and being loud and obnoxious'.

The two games are inexorably tied together by the strands of fate, although not in mythos.

They were set in a steam punk fantasy world, before steam punk became mainstream.

It does not matter if the joke made at pycon was sexist or just sexual in nature. It was against the rules either way.

I not only read the article, but I searched google for more indepth articles from multiple 3rd party sources to confirm and verify the accuracy of what is being reported.

Hail Eris!

The fact of the matter is, there was a person who was caught violating a rule and was punished for it. People should absolutely be be held accountable for inappropriate actions.

Forking repositories is a legitimate technical term, however not something you would do with a big dongle. The comment was obviously offensive. Just because it was not offensive to you does not mean other people's feelings about the subject are unwarranted. You don't get to chose what other people can or can't think.

Oh noes. I got called a retard by a butt hurt scumbag. Here is a huge leap of logic for you. She can do both.

Yeah and that was a huge mistake on her part, since her job is public relations. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Dude, really? Really?

What you don't understand is that is pretty much exactly what was said. It does not say that much in the linked article, but I found a more in-depth description of the events on google.

Accused of not knowing what sexism is, by the guy with the totally racist user name.

The former. The later could have resulted in violence.

lol, 3 posts in a row. u mad or something?

Except that is exactly what she did.
