To be fair, without a CoC, niggerfaggot() as a function name wouldn't indicate what it does, and by that would've been renamed if your patch was actually useful enough to be accepted.
I do agree that things like etiquette rules don't have a place in a software project's repository.

I've read a large chunk of the site and Idon't think any of it is unreasonable. It certainly made me think alot. And what is feminism but support for changes towards gender equality?In any case I think the best forum for this will be with the Ballaratorganizers, in their discussion meetings and surely not this list. Ihope that they continue to adopt geek feminism guidelines next year.Perhaps these could be clarified, though I'm not sure that if the ruleswere more explicit that it would have prevented an "edgy" speaker likethis from breaking them.

Code of Conduct. Like any religion or cult, nice words are always more attractive than negative words. What people fail to understand, since they don't often think about who has power and what does that power enables, is that CoCs aren't above the law and even if the law is a thing people still have the freedom to choose to follow it or not. -Someone who as administrative power over a project, guides it. -A selected/elected group of people voting have administrative power over a project, they guide it. Both of these two points have the same problem, that cannot be mitigated by any means, which is that they can be bribed, manipulated, menaced, biased and many more unethical actions and behavior. These cannot be mitigated on a group level via rules because it's a inherently human problem on the shoulder of the individual. These aren't exclusive to free software communities but to all kind of groups, countries, tribes etc... Such problems were known and witnessed over the centuries.
The people who have the administrative power. en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/nigger Because the definition of nigger is a pejorative term. If you were joking then see poe's law about it. If you insist in a spam like or troll like behavior then you'll probably get warnings before being removed from the project. The spam like or Troll like behavior is to be judged and interpreted by the responsible. en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/faggot Because the definition of faggot is a pejorative term. If you were joking then see poe's law about it. If you insist in a spam like or troll like behavior then you'll probably get warnings before being removed from the project. The spam like or Troll like behavior is to be judged and interpreted by the responsible.
Just like the law. Rules are meant to let people enable their constructiveness and be happy. When I say people it does not necessarily mean the people of a nation, it also could be a small group of people.
Like any unjust or just laws it feasible to enforce them. Like any unjust or just laws it feasible to laugh about them.
I do not need a Code of Conduct because I know how to behave. People do not need Code of Conducts because they need to learn by themselves. People do not need Code of Conducts because they are often used as a justification for tyrannical and unjust behavior towards other members which also normalize the said unethical behavior. Tyrannical and unjust behavior towards other members will always exist even without CoC the difference is that without a CoC it won't normalize and justify such behavior.

The only problems I have with your function name are:
1) You should write either nigger_faggot or niggerFaggot according to what is the standard word separation indicator policy of the language.
2) Unless the function somehow steals the user's bike and gives him AIDS I doubt the game would be descriptive.
If, on the other hand you just happen to have cursed in your comments because, for example, you were fixing a bug made by a nigger and a faggot I don't see much of a problem.

Some of the botnets over the last year or so have had variables and functions named things like nigger. I've found it on Github. I think those are posted by malware analysts and they are left unedited for posterity.

I guess it's at the discretion of the blue hairs to interpret the context and github acts according to the degree of their meltdown.
