"To prevent someone from feeling embarrassed or awkward."
- maroonblazer 9y agoIt still doesn’t make any sense. There’s nothing in the article that suggests Indians are shy about seeing a dermatologist, which is what the title implies.
- IanCal 9y agoPlenty of people get embarrassed about things like this. It doesn't need to be suggesting Indians are more embarrassed than others because this is an Indian startup launching a product in India.
- zaptheimpaler 9y agoIts for an Indian audience... you are reading connotations into a word based on a foreign context. If the article was "AI-enabled dermatology app aims to save Americans embarrassing visits to the doc" would you still feel weird about it? I see headlines like "X aims to help Americans do Y" all the time, no complaints. To an Indian audience, "Indians" is roughly synonymous to people.. pretty neutral word.
- maroonblazer 9y agoI’d still think it was weird. Dermatology issues don’t seem embarrassing to me. I could see it making more sense in the context of sexual issues.
