- tanseydavid 6y agoI would agree that 'tortured' is well-chosen adjective to describe the Twitter thread.
- generalizations 6y agoTwitter doesn't let me see that thread. Says something about "this account owner has limited who can see their tweets".
- junke 6y agoYes because when your post reach HN you need to lock your account or else you'll have people argue in your mentions for days.
- unethical_ban 6y agoIt's twitter - that's what it is designed to do.
- Macha 6y agoLooks like the account author privated their account and therefore killed the thread. What was the complaint? How was this article sexist?
- ineptech 6y agoEr, I'm not sure whether me pasting it in after they deleted it would be considered mean, but I think this is the gist: > In isolation that’s just meh. In a context where mobile players got trashed all the bloody time for being fake gamers, casuals, mindless whales, or worst of all, women? In a context of tech people often being elitist “core” gamers? Woops, you’re punching down.
