It's pretty gruesome to watch someome go out of their way take casual pot-shots at someone trapped in a torture cell just because the person used wording that isn't the peak of diplomacy. HN has basic standards of human decency; it's not a 100% free speech zone.
- luckylion 6y agoLet's not pretend that it would have been flagged if the request was different. HN heavily leans liberal, and Muslim is a protected identity. I don't believe that it would have played out the same if it had been a similar request that suggests it's a white supremacist, but you're free to tell yourself that.
- egeozcan 6y agoI didn't "take casual pot-shots", I found it interesting that they didn't discriminate against offensive stuff. I'd not want them to, but I expected them to. Have the decency to understand what the other may have been trying to say first, as not all of us are native English speakers. I don't have a problem with that poor person, I have a problem with the idea, yes, but that's irrelevant to this discussion.
