The name change fiasco by @NipsConference is part of a deeper problem. It is run like a dictatorship with no elections, no townhall, no transparency. Can't think of any other major conference run this way. #ai #ml deserves better. #ProtestNIPS
Bullying and trolling for just speaking up about @NipsConference name change is shameful. I can speak up, but still feel emotionally exhausted. Others are less fortunate. A couple of emails on how bullying continues. shutting down #ProtestNIPS is to maintain status quo and powerpic.twitter.com/oGGoxew5nx
I am going to post some of the garbage in @mxlearn to give everyone an idea of what women have to go through just to stay in #ml #ai #ProtestNIPS In the post below, our hero laments that rape apologists can no longer continue to work in linux communities. #takehatespeechdownpic.twitter.com/CMBojTXTgN
Another valiant dude on @mxlearn commands that "we don't negotiate with moral terrorists".. nipple shamers. "catering to super sensitive people is not progress" http://dlvr.it/QpdzXh #takehatespeechdown #downwithmisogyny #ProtestNIPSpic.twitter.com/fl5LPqZxsW
Many other misogynists turn to jokes to put down #ProtestNIPS on http://dlvr.it/QpQ5dy CUNTS, BIATCH, Outrage brigades, "I will wear NIPS NP hard tshirt on my man boobs and it is not sexist"#takehatespeechdown #banishmisogyny @mxlearnpic.twitter.com/sMW8RAbplM
As expected these anonymous cowards on @mxlearn http://dlvr.it/QpQ5dy turn to personal attacks. No wonder women stay away from @mxlearn or anywhere online and don't voice their true opinions. Truly disappointed how horrible this world is for womenpic.twitter.com/dkfHusEPNp
Anima, I'm not in the NIPS community, but I find your courage inspiring in calling out sexism and bullying. I'm glad you are fighting the good fight, please take care of yourself!
Same here. Take care of yourself first. You are not alone.
I understand, because as a researcher this is not a fight you want to fight within the community and there are better things to do.. Name doesn't matter, but when the name is used already for making silly sexual jokes, it is high time. Let you have all the strength needed..
@ The wider community. We should share the emotional exhaustion and help fight twitter trolls and check the lazy arguments made in bad faith. If it isn't an option for Professor @AnimaAnandkumar (and other vocal members) to ignore the trolls. It shouldn't be for us either.
More power to you.
