I like DHH. There is no vice we can put his balls in to change his behavior. He speaks his mind about groupon, and swearing. He's made his "fuck you money". He doesn't have to adjust his language for fear of repercussions in his professional life.
If he did anything less than speak his mind, we'd be getting a disingenuous experience of him. The gap between public DHH and private DHH is narrow, presumably.
DHH isn't asking anyone to like him. If his swearing is offensive to you, that's ok. But by trying to change his or Zach Holmans behavior, you're trying to censor them. That's not ok.
- seiji 15y agoI always attributed DHH's characteristics to a worldly European bravado. He uses language, but not in a vile way. It's punctuations of emotion and emphasis. There's a quality of "opinionated, hot, european guy being loud = cool; others = know your place." Be careful not to conflate the simple language issue with the heavier weighted, and slightly related, issues of inappropriate misogyny and child rapist jokes.
