This is exactly the kind of hysteria that will tear society apart.
The types of jokes a person shares and enjoys outside of the office by and large are not a reflection of character, even when they are racist, sexist, or some other -ist. In fact that's the very reason that they are funny, because they are counter to norms. There's nothing immature or childish about this if you're not oversocialized.
Believe it or not, it's possible to be a competent programmer and decent human being while occasionally indulging in an off color joke. Humor is a form of release. You've lived a sheltered life if you're unaware of how perfectly normal and nearly ubiquitous so called "locker room talk" is.
Your post is a perfect example of a dangerous overreaction. Suddenly liking the wrong post makes me an "incel" and keeps me from contributing to society. Isn't that a little crazy?

If most of your social media posts are you liking racist, sexist or some other ist content, I will avoid you. Who wouldn't?
- lainga 7y agoI wouldn't, because I don't use social media, and it wouldn't make sense to avoid someone based on something I don't know about.

Please read comments before responding to them. I specifically wrote that "liking the wrong post" means nothing. You know what does mean something? You liking only wrong posts. That said, if most of your social media presence is you abusing others, trolling companies, liking revisionist graphs or retweeting pepe-the-frog memes about how Seth Rich was murdered by Hillary Clinton or how the world is run by Jews... well that brands you in a way that most sane people will avoid you.
