It's very off-putting, I agree.
- jallasprit 4y agoWhy?
- wokwokwok 4y agoYou mean, other than the obvious reason that any corporate firewall will probably block it and send notifications to your manager? I mean, do whatever, but there's a certain irony to something which is about privacy and security forcing you to pollute your search history with the word 'sexy' in a way that you cant control locally.
- dimensionc132 4y agopeople here are too easily offended
- pineconewarrior 4y agoI am not offended, I just find it in bad taste, along with the poorly-executed interface styles. It's just my opinion anyway.
- eimrine 4y agoWhat if some kid will show this domain? In some cultures it is unacceptable to have a talk with kids about sex.
- slothtrop 4y ago"sexy" is so whitebread it's on daytime tv and op-ed headlines. Other cultures are already exposed to this if they are consuming Western media in the first place, how they deal with it is on them.
- eimrine 4y agoSome of that other cultures use to hate Western one. Doesn't they have or deserve a right to be kind of shy?
- slothtrop 4y agoTheir being shy is of no consequence, it doesn't necessitate an imperative for self-censorship on the part of the Westerner on the conceit that some outsider interest groups hypothetically might not like x/y/z.
- notnaut 4y agoHN has a sort of hilarious amount of puritan sentimentality when you look at comment patterns at large

- seanw444 4y agoHN gives me Reddit vibes nowadays. Same opinions, but with more text and less images.
- pineconewarrior 4y agoHN gives me reddit-from-5-years-ago vibes. Reddit today is unreadable for me.
- pineconewarrior 4y agoI am not coming from that angle. I just find the branding to be poorly executed and would be concerned about TLD blocking.
- InsomniacL 4y agoTechnical reasons: - more likely to be blocked by web filtering - the TLD is intended for "risqué content" according to the registrar - the TLD is more expensive due to the novelty, a novelty which negatively impacts the reputation as indicated here by some. Social reasons: - It can lead to awkward situations when browsing or sharing with others if people assume the content to be related to the URL. etc..
- kergonath 4y agoMost of that is related to how other people would behave, not really with the URL being “off-putting”, though.
