What makes you think that it got flagged because sex is a taboo topic? I followed the link because I think sex is an important topic, and should be anti-taboo.

What makes you think that it got flagged because sex is a taboo topic?
I followed the link because I think sex is an important topic, and should be anti-taboo. I flagged it because I think it's a bad article. I mean, I'm not riled up about it, but I don't think it's contributing in a positive way (though I do think the author is trying).
On the bright side, I followed some suggested links at the bottom of the page, and read a few short pieces that I thought were better-written, so there's that.
- stared 8y agoWell, because it already happened. I understand that some topics get not too healthy conversations. There are plenty of articles I furiously disagree with. I never flag them for that reason (in fact, it never occurred to me that I should flag things for that reason). For example, for one which was IMHO a pseudo-intellectual fest (and even harmful for people not knowing much about AI): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17537907 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17537907 Just curious, which links did you like?
- Fjolsvith 8y agoHuh. I guess I never realized that flagging was the downvote.
