- corin_ 15y agoHave you ever been to a tech. trade show and seen the booth babes? If sexism (unless I've missed misogynistic adverts, it isn't a synonym for sexist) is enough of a reason for a boycott then there's a hell of a lot of companies you'd have to avoid.
- fiblye 15y agoMost people aren't easily offended. Also, I don't think a woman voluntarily choosing to be paid for being in an ad qualifies as misogyny, unless the women are self-loathing. Godaddy's objectification of women isn't unique in the industry or world as a whole, and there are many other reasons to hate Godaddy.
- stephen_g 15y agoYeah, I got one of my domains there about five years ago, and have wanted to switch for about four but haven't got around to it. Since I use external nameservers I haven't needed to log in there pretty much at all since then. This will probably be the straw that breaks the camel's back - I'll take it to Namecheap with my other US domains.
- nohat 15y agoActually I feel like people have had a thing against godaddy for a long time, and try to make a big deal about unimportant PR stuff. I don't care about sexy advertisements, I don't care about the CEO shooting elephants. I do care about questionable DNS behavior and SOPA.
