I'd quite like tech to be completely free of anything to do with sexism, racism and politics, but it turns out it's part of the world.

- YetAnotherNick 6y agoThe thing is discussing it easily ruins the mood of feeling productive when opening HN. Also the benefit of discussing the same mindless discussion over internet where you already know the points of both sides are minimal in my opinion. There are better ways to spend time to benefit the minorities/females than discussing it here.
- dredmorbius 6y agoWhy does that discussion "ruin" the mood? Who is doing the ruining? Who benefits by lack of discussion? (My view is that silence on contentious issues benefits the status quo.)
