@beka_valentine well, I *hope* that it's because of that anime essen watched. Cowboy Beep Boop, or something?..

But it's a very creepy name. As a matter of fact, I've started a conspiracy back in the day in #erlang that I think it may be a horrible white-person pun on cowboy being Apache killer.

@jonn it is in fact precisely because its an apache killer. Loic even uses that phrasing describing his early involvement here: https://ninenines.eu/articles/the-story-so-far/

@beka_valentine I'll be fucked. I thought it's a conspiracy theory I started in 2012 on freenode :D I should even have the logs.

I mean, the guy wrote the post in 2014 for fuck's sake... I forgive ignorance once (because others forgave my ignorance, for example, about mr. musk), but by 2014 he surely already knew that this is inappropriate.
