it could be construed as if he's calling all Ukrainian people nazis, especially with the "Za pobedu", which is an explicitly pro-war sentiment, meaning he is in favor of the invasion that has resulted in the deaths of many innocents, not just nazis.
I wouldn't risk my job to defend a pro-war Russian nationalist
Not every Ukrainian is a Nazi but their government was funding Nazi paramilitaries to carry out ethnic cleansing of Eastern Ukraine. I know they're not directly comparable, but not every German was a Nazi and the invasion of Germany took many innocent lives too.
Fair enough, I think putting political messages in code like that is pretty silly but I don't think his entire contribution should be removed because of it. I would focus on the usefulness/popularity of his content in your argument and try to avoid getting into the actual politics of it as much as possible.
is removing that line from the code while keeping the rest of it not an option?
I am asking you to define the term you are using, "Putinist". Are you intending to signify Russian nationalism? Specifically supporters of Putin the man? Neoliberal Russians? Define your term.
It would waste a lot less time and seem a lot more "in good faith" if you could manage to simply define your terms. I am trying to illustrate the point that "Putinist", a term you have used more than once despite your claim that you are against labels, is a meaningless label created by people who are fundamentally ignorant about the political climate in Russia. You seem to know that you are using a term you can't define, so you're being extremely evasive.
I think what they're looking for is a definition so they know whether you're saying something that you've actually thought through carefully to come to, or whether your politics are entirely based on vibes.

Wait so they’re planning to tell the Russian guy to remove it from his own repository because the offended libs want to use his code?
That’s fucking hilarious. I wouldn’t say anything I would just ask to be included in the email thread so I could take screenshots to share here.

He might support the war as it removes NATO who is an huge threat to the Russian people and their way or life from the border
Yes. Seems like a putinist reactionary
What exactly do you suppose constitutes a "Putinist"?
What do you mean by that?

What are the consequences?
I'm beginning to think you either don't know what you mean when you throw around labels like this, or you're engaging in bad faith.

are you a chatbot? the casual misuse of normal words and generally failing to answer literally any pointed question sure makes it look that way.
have you behaved in a way that you feel warrants good faith engagement?

guess that answers that
