I'm genuinely curious: what's "cringe" about MINASWAN?

(I write mostly Python these days, but have been involved in both communities for a long time, and MINASWAN never particularly stood out to me other than as a cute reminder to be nice.)

It was meant tongue in cheek as I was defending Ruby being the most welcoming community. It's just a bit twee like the voice-over on London Underground - "See it, say it, sorted".

There is no problem with someone being nice. It's only a problem when they want you to be nice exactly like them.
