Yes. There are, and it’s fucking awesome because it’s a space where we can say “the gender of the person who did all this great work has zero negative impact on the wonderful outcome!”
People can argue that trans actors can “feel out of place” or that trans athletes “ruin the spirit of competition.” I don’t agree with those perspectives, but I can see the (warped) logic behind them.
Here, there’s nothing to possible complain about. Does the PCB function any differently because of who reverse engineered and recreated it? No. Should it impact one’s experience gaming on this hardware? No, and if it does, said person has a problem disconnecting their personal beliefs from their objectivity.
What do you mean you didn’t say anything special? You called attention to something obvious. People normally only do that when they want to complain, i.e. “it’s monday” or “the bus is late” etc. If you want to call attention to something obvious but in a positive light, you have to say that explicitly, i.e. “it’s cool that there’s a lot of transgender people in the hacking community” or “nice, it’s raining!”. Neutral is negative by default, unfortunately.
You get to choose your intention. You don’t get to choose how it’s received. You were downvoted because people perceived you as negative, even if it’s not what you intended. Unless you have a better explanation?
You know, sometimes I’ve wondered if that’s why there’s a weird correlation between the two. Engineers and scientists tend to grab physical reality in their hands and create something where there was nothing to change the status quo of existence.
Reverse engineering and modding are the applied version of that when it comes to rules and constraints. Who’s to say these types wouldn’t also be keen on changing their own mortal reality as they like it?
That is a wild factoid. I had no idea. I wonder how the fuck some shit like that even comes up.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

you’ll note that I didn’t say anything special but got downvoted to -76 :)
What do you mean you didn’t say anything special? You called attention to something obvious.

I don’t agree, especially cause we talk here about reverse engineering which is considered as relatively hardcore skill and in the positive way.
If I was saying: “There’s lot of transgenders in blackhat hacking”, there you might draw some negative conclusion.
Anyway, that was not my intention and sorry, it is not something ‘obvious’.
You get to choose your intention. You don’t get to choose how it’s received. You were downvoted because people perceived you as negative, even if it’s not what you intended. Unless you have a better explanation?
Are you saying my modding hobby is going to lead to me mod my gender

open the curtain and the window, take a deeeep breath.

you are assuming the bad here.
read my sentence:
reverse engineer being an hardcore craft/skill, I don’t think you could reasonably say that I was diminishing them.
seeing how low my score went on a simple sentence, I think it’s time for some reflection, people…
I didn’t down vote you. I was just talking shit. I don’t give two fucks, brother man.
