There was the RustConf Reflections Drama...

Tim Chevalier left Rust over Drama. One of the top two contributors at the time.

Zig is a much smaller community and has already had some drama. You can't magically avoid it. All communities of a sufficient size have drama.

It might be true that Rust has a bit more drama because of the high concentration of "cat girls" as flying_sheep put it, but I don't think there's enough data to really say. Also I wouldn't be surprised if Zig attracts similar characters given its closely related goals.

I said it that way because whatever scapegoat the right has chosen in a given decade is arbitrary. Might as well be the cat ears.
