I honestly don't think it should be denied. I thought they would deny it. There's a misunderstanding here.
Admittedly, "I found it weird" doesn't communicate that, as I'm now reading my own comment.
- capableweb 6y agoI read your comment the first time as "Hey, I saw this, this is what I thought about it, how does others feel?", wanting to open up a conversation without any predefined conclusion of "this is absolutely fine" or "this should be banned". But nuance is famously hard on the internet, and many tend to extrapolate what they think you mean. Generally, more users of HN would do HN an service overall by trying to follow the "Have curious conversation" guideline more, but again, hard when you want to prove someone wrong.
- sukilot 6y agoIt's easy for me to imagine that a person trapped for years in an isolation-torture cell would have some complicated and slightly un-PC thoughts regarding religion and male-female relationships. That request is 0.01x as offensive as much common HN chatter, and 0.0000001x as offensive as what is being done to the imprisoned person requesting it, so I really see no value in your calling negative attention to it, and I invite you to broaden your worldview.
- egeozcan 6y agoI invite you to chill, trying to discuss stuff like these actually help broaden views.
