> babel included a picture of Guy Feiri for a while...

I refuse to believe that there are real people so eager to jump on the JS hate bandwagon that they unironically believed every word of an obviously satirical article.

(babel has never included a picture of Guy Fieri.)

It might not have been a picture, but there was an ASCI art of his face that got checked in.

It was checked in as a humorous response to the very satirical article I'm talking about, and never actually published to the package registry.

But again, people are so ready to froth at the mouth wherever JS is even mildly concerned that I really shouldn't be surprised they'd take a meme that lasted for a handful of days seriously.
