Does anyone else get a bad feeling when people use certain language? "'IDPA is committed to maintaining a fair, competitive, and inclusive environment for all shooters,' said IDPA President Joyce Wilson." (Not disagreeing with the core of the article, also might turn your script blockers on) (www.idpa.com)

IDPA celebrates Women’s History Month as the only shooting sport run by women. Joyce Wilson has led the organization since 2007.

There’s your answer. Conservatives and libertarians love “diversity”.

Yes. Certain words and phrases are shibboleths meant to signal that the speaker has specific values and/or belongs to a group without openly saying it. It's coded language meant to go over the heads of most of the audience and signal only to the intended target.

Site has over two dozen scripts that seem to do nothing useful for the user, but increase their ram usage. Not any worse than clicking on New York Times or a political campaign site though.

Article is a notice that IDPA is banning the Sig P320 from shooting competitions due to the recent Air Force holstered unintentional discharge, but just had to slip in "inclusive environment" into a press release.

That whole paragraph just reeks of "We're so comfortable bullshitting we do it habitually, we also think you're retarded and won't notice"

Not being randomly shot because someone bumped a table doesn't come under fairness, competition or inclusivity. They just have to spout the propaganda mantra whenever they have a mic

IDPA is a captured sport. Gun bunnys are rampant, with all the issues they bring with them, and the range rules they operate under are detrimental to real defensive use of firearms. All the major shooting sports are like this, which is why I refuse to participate in any of them.

Idpa has been the fudd version. Uspsa also has gun bunnies and ultra tryhards, but at least it's more realistic

A fucking woman is the president of it. That's literally all you had to say. Women should defer leadership to men, end of story.

And as someone already mentioned, "celebrating women's history" lmaoooooo

WTF? Back when I went to monthly LAN parties where everyone shot and exploded everyone else for twelve hours, the only inspirational language we wanted to hear was two words:

"Server's up!"

Apparently it's some gun shooting sport. Never heard of it myself
