Question: Did u knew that there will be downvotes, but post-it anyway? Or you didn't expect the downvotes? I'm asking because I'm curious about the impact of the "politically correct" culture and its effects.
- venomsnake 10y agoWith HN lately it is a coin toss whether a statement will be downvoted or upvoted when talking about diversity. It seems that there is split - depends on who is awake what the reaction will be. Anyway - I never did or intend to do karma whoring. While I tend to rarely post pure troll statements, I do hold views that can be controversial. So when I have something to say I say it.
- sangnoir 10y agoWhy should you worry about imaginary Internet points? If your opinion can stand in it's own no matter how controversial, post it. Being civil isn't being "politically incorrect" online or offline. If you say something that might get you punched in the face (literally or metaphorically), don't be surprised when you do get punched in the face.
- lucio 10y agosomebody else punching you in the face does not means your comment is uncivil. I'm guessing, but two centuries ago you could be punched in the face for opposing slavery. You cannot measure and argument by how offended others get when they contemplate it.
- sangnoir 10y ago> somebody else punching you in the face does not means your comment is uncivil I never made this argument - you seem to have skipped my first paragraph entirely. I'm all for sharing controversial opinions that have merit and in a manner that is not dickish.
