And it takes a decade to recover from the nightmarish PTSD and realise it was all a hysterical moral panic, hyped up by the media's yellow journalism. Here in the UK it was the Sun, Mirror and News of the World to blame for this nonsense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic
"A moral panic is a widespread feeling of fear, often an irrational one, that some evil person or thing threatens the values, interests, or well-being of a community or society. It is "the process of arousing social concern over an issue", usually perpetuated by moral entrepreneurs and the mass media, and exacerbated by politicians and lawmakers."

I've done some pretty amazing stuff, and it's not been released because of this bullshit. Some huge electronics project, sitting there, gathering dust in a box. I would have gone there, shown it to them, released the source code, nope not happened. Working on some proprietary FPGA stuff now, no chance of ever releasing the source code....

This feminist "harassment" stuff destroys innocent peoples' lives, over stupid blunders and foibles.

They also encourage ratting others out in the Code of Conduct too, they ask you to report instances of other people being harassed.... That sounds like a Stasi Police State to me...

"If you are being harassed or witness a breach of this code of conduct, you can get in touch with us by..."

That is why I don't go to these conferences anymore, social justice warriors have taken over the entire community. The guy probably used the wrong pronouns or said something that offended some politically correct radical feminist.

We had EMF Camp just down the road from where I live earlier this year and I did NOT attend because of this shit. All that I saw of it was the laser show from the hills, that's it. I don't want some busybody censoring my speech and risking being publicly defamed should I say something they find "inappropriate". It's too risky, because it could have potentially career ending consequences, with HR departments googling your name all the time.
