Software is a collection of ideas and decisions that a person has turned into a machine.

When it turns out that person has repulsive, noxious and dehumanizing ideas, it is entirely reasonable to not want the machines they've made in your life, or the decisions they've made affecting your life.

It is entirely reasonable to object to their being part of communities you care about, and to object to their ideas and decisions being normalized or valorized.

Nothing about this is complicated.
