I am referring to no particular subculture. Lots of people around me embrace it, including from all over the political spectrum (if that's what you are thinking).

I think the broader society sets the norms for computer science, as with everything else. For example, when star athletes like Barry Bonds, or entire teams like the Houston Astros, or much of college sports, cheat with few reprocussions (and in the past, that wasn't the case - players were banned and school sports programs were basically shut down, etc.) that affects computer science research.
