I got a Job after attending the silicon valley branch of 42, I've definitely heard that the french campus is more extream but not to the degree that the post claims. Some of that stuff like examiners playing battleship to remove test takers is pretty far fetched.
As for the cat, I have heard rule was not feeding the cat or taking it places because she once got sick from a student feeding her.
My evidence is just as annocdotal. But someone who seems to thinks they did not get into the school because they are male might not be the most trustworthy source.
One thing he did not mention is that the entry test that lasts a month the "piscine" does not have a limited quota of students. Each branch gets more funding the more students they have, so the only incentive to deny a someone is if they obviously won't be able to handle the work load or have social issues.
