Wow, that escalated fast. All caps and demands. I can in some fashion understand the argument made in the section above (without caps lock), but still, nah. It's gratuitous.

Hi again, Admin User:Evula attempted to delete them per COM:SCOPE but every single one was immediately restored.

Hi all, Can someone please explain to me why Category:Nude portrayals of computer technology (NSFW) even exists? How is a category like this, whatever about the image, remotely encyclopedic or useful to the project? It is populated entirely with sexualized images of women - almost all naked or semi-naked - with only tangential references to computer technology. I'm a computer engineer myself, and a paid-up member of SWE. Given the drive to get more women involved in STEM fields, I see stuff like this as being really damaging. And this is just one single example. -- Allie _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing listGendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap______________________...
