These are some unpopular views and apparently others took it upon themselves to silence them via flagging. I'm sure my views don't line up completely with wahs

These are some unpopular views and apparently others took it upon themselves to silence them via flagging.
I'm sure my views don't line up completely with wahsd, but these are valid questions to ask. Particularly given the recent investigation of Palantir's hiring practices (for hiring Asians at a far lower rate than qualified applicant pools would suggest).
- internaut 10y agoI initially flagged this thread because it looked like a classic flamebait topic. I unflagged it because it looks like a civil discussion was being had. However I am sick to death of "Women In Tech" constantly coming up on HN, a while back gender topics would sometimes account every tenth discussion thread with classic left vs right rants and I think most people here have had their fill of this topic. I think there is a huge population of political activists acting as concern trolls with respect to gender and sexuality topics. You have anti-FGM activists attacking tumblerinas, you have outrage junkies attacking conservatives because of something to do with bathrooms and 0.01% of the population. None of this is supposed to lead to a healthy discussion, it is a culture war fought exclusively by armies of strawmen (and strawwomen!).
