Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. > It reads like you are punching down at Animal Crossing fans. (And I certainly read your first comment as insinuating that people who like the game are 'kids or housewives'.) I've seen some screenshots and the game characters fit my idea of what kids enjoy. Of course I could be totally wrong... which is why I asked for the views of HN folk. Whether you think that's punching down depends on whether you think kids and housewives are beneath you. To me they're just a different demographic from the one I'm in. > You explicitly ask the reader to apply backwards negative stereotypes to the concept of housewives. I'm sure you can tell that I'm not very articulate. Still, I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. I'm not asking the reader to think negatively of women, whether they be housewives or not. If anything, I'm exposing myself as a backwards jerk who holds negative views of women who tend to the home. > We aren't your tribe. HN readership comes from all walks. I very much doubt that. How long have you been here? HN is a hell of a bubble, with the vast majority being college-educated Americans. Basically a sliver of a sliver of a sliver of the world population. Still, thank you for the feedback. Seriously. I need to be more mindful of cultural differences and avoid saying things that trigger Americans.
