 I feel same vibes with "project XXX has mostly just white cis hetero men working there!!". why do you care people being gay or against fascism, bro, kinda sus.  
 Open-source projects should remain neutral, leaving politics at the door. It seems the reality of the Tor Project is diverging from that. Some people may refuse to support or donate to projects whose teams have political stances they oppose. There are rumors circulating that the Tor Project has been compromised for years, which is further fueled by the presence of a team dominated by individuals with strong left-leaning woke views. I've seen many projects in the past year get absolutely ruined due to politics, Godot as a recent example. I also disagree with what happened recently to the Linux Kernel (they kicked out all the Russian contributors without any reason). No open-source project should have politics, don't you agree? 
 please clarify: is being gay or being against fascism in your opinion political?

right now there have been no bad actions from the Tor project, nor Tor is having any political agenda. you're the one digging what devs' do outside of work (I'm not sure workers' bio is related to work more than workers' clothes).

the claim about Tor being compromised is not related to the wokeness theme — it's hilarious to say Tor's compromised because the devs use pronouns. shortly put, there's a lot of rumours: about Session being compromised, SimpleX, Bitcoin, I2P, Tails — basically anything actually private will have such rumours. so IMHO rumors tell too little about actual situation. 
 I'm not gonna waste my time with a Monero dumbfuck with "#genderequality" on his bio lmao. HFSP.
