I honestly did not expect this topic to be this controversial. As a reader, I am always disappointed when a HN submission gets torn apart disproportionally to its original scope (just look at every submission on the topic of dieting, psychedelics, microservices, TSLA). On the other hand, it does make me happy to see that lots of people are unable to relate to the uncomfortable social situation the author describes. In a naive way, I hope that means the commenters haven't experienced it, rather than having experienced but not noticed it.
