and just so you can be explicit about what you think is excusable, I'll tell you a little more about the one time I contributed to a GNU project. I was 15 years old. a bunch of grown men saw my name and on the email that contained the patch and decided to send me a bunch of pornographic photos of themselves and explicit descriptions of their sexual fantasies.
If you go on other well-known public places with decent anonymity like Imgur and say you are a woman you get a ton of PMs with dick pics too from random people.
And it's common enough on Facebook that "send me pics of bobs and vegana" has achieved meme status https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bobs-and-vegana
That's a generalized problem with public places on the internet, GNU mailing list isn't alone.
that's the kind of behavior you're saying I'm overreacting to.
I'm just not automatically believing that the degenerates that are harassing people are from GNU instead of randoms subscribed to that ML.
