I thought the convo was: OP made an otherwise valid, neutral point, then bundled in a defense of a hotly contested phrase, purporting to tell us what it "really" means. jbboehr responded that this was a motte-and-bailey. UncleMeat was like, no it's not, so I tried clarifying what I thought jbboehr was getting at.

I'm working on building an IDE, Handmade Hero-style [1]. Writing the code analysis part completely from scratch (parser, static analysis, building a database of the user's types), integrating with Neovim and gdb for seamless vi keybindings and debugging.

A related project is RemedyBG, which is a debugger trying to replace Visual Studio's debugger, and is also written without any third-party libraries: https://remedybg.itch.io/remedybg

It's a motte and bailey in the way it's socially used. The way it goes is, people will make fun of masculinity in general, and throw around "toxic masculinity" as a meme at any display or mention of masculinity. When challenged, they retreat to the motte of claiming they mean "toxic masculinity" purely in the academic sense.
