People could have just noted that they think the presentation was in bad taste, and moved on with their lives.

If the presentation was representative of the mindset of the whole Ruby community, well then, maybe you should reconsider being part of the Ruby community - there's another one with magical ponies and stuff!

If not, then all is well. People are different.

Remember that awesome presentation by Wil Shipley, with pictures of the women in Galactica, accompanied by talk about being a "slut"?

Where was the Righteous Nerd Sect Of The Women's Rights Brigade then?
