The problem is when some assholes are actively engaged in denying basic rights from others. If you say "well those assholes have a right to exist", you're effectively saying "the assholes have more of a right to exist than the people they're trying to erase."
- jwond 5y agoCould you clarify what basic rights you are referring to, whose existence ”the assholes” are trying to erase, and what methods they are using to do so?

- spartanatreyu 5y agoI think they're talking about the creator of JS giving money to a political cause trying to block gay marriage. There was a big huff about it in the tech space for a while when it happened and he ended up secluding himself after that for a while. It was really not a good look. In the years since, we've seen a much larger push to shine the spotlight on behaviour that would have previously been swept under the rug or hidden behind technological "tenure".
