You’re in a blog memes community dude. It’s literally all screenshots of blog posts idk what you expect other than like… screenshots of noteworthy peoples social media posts and related memes.
I actiallyvthink the open source community (and wider programming in general) are very proactive in calling out and speaking out against poor behaviour among their community leaders and peers. Just off the top of my head I can think of:
PolyMC dev who came out stating he is very against queers and leftists. Rest of his dev team goes “OK bye” and forks the project. Their project, Prism MC now has more than 3* the stars on GitHub as the original project, indicating much larger userbase and following.
The developer of the most popular game of all time, Minecraft, Markus Persson (Notch) made a number of posts on Twitter that were your standard anti-feminist, anti-trans, pro-white alt-lite chud crap, and this enormously popular billionaire is now persona non grata in the Minecraft community and unwelcome even by Microsoft.
The problem you allude to (blind hero worship) is really a far more common occurrence amongst the right wing, because as conservatives they seek to preserve existing structures of power and tradition above all else. Leftists seek egalitarianism. These two ideas are incompatible which is the whole reason they’re branded as opposing ends of the political spectrum.
I agree with all you said, but I only disagree that I don’t believe that ‘hero worship’ is rightwing-exclusive.
I also love these two examples you mentioned of PolyMC and Mincraft boycotting and branching away from inhumanity

Yeah hero worship happens everywhere I agree. I just said it’s far more common in the right wing communities, not that it’s exclusive to them
