People willing to do this for free remind me just a bit too much of all those angry Christian moms in the 80s-90s policing music and video games for “society’s own good.”

oh they're still doing it. Karen's are making youtube videos of themselves crying while listening to rap because "as a mom" it hurts them that their kid could hear it.

  This comment didn’t need the random dig at trans people.

    It's crude but observationally accurate. The type of person drawn to being a reddit mod: - Does not have a family (no time otherwise) - Does not have a full-time job - Spends an extraordinary amount of time Very Online (aka on reddit) Those are all coupled extremely tightly with a variety of mental health disorders, and you end up with a disproportionate number of people who are anxious, neurotic, bipolar, depressed, and with gender spectrum disorders.

      One can mention all of these points and start a discussion without calling trans people useless, I think that's why this person complained and why the original comment is now flagged. It's also not really based on hard facts, as I doubt that Reddit releases statistics about their mods sexualities. All in all, making an off-topic comment which is just insulting trans people is maybe not the kind of comment we want to see on HN. Ironically, I could see such a comment gaining traction on certain subreddits.

        Yeah. It was not framed in a way useful to the discussion. I did want to separate out the fact that it was needlessly offensive (true) from the truth of the underlying claim about the distribution (which probably true).

      Got sources to back up your claims? You sound almost proud of your bigotry.
