Wow wtf. You have some serious issues. First, I agree that your attention belongs to you, and you are 100% in your right to go elsewhere. Reddit is not forcing you to view their ads. But second, you are unhinged if you think this is a reasonable comment: > I deserve not to be advertised to for the same reasons women deserve not to be raped Wow

I'm glad you agree. I don't really mind if you think I'm unhinged. I don't mind the downvotes either. The exact same moral issue of consent applies. As a human being, I deserve to be able to consent. It's part of what it means to have dignity. I don't consent to my mind being violated, it's that simple. If that makes me unhinged, so be it. If you want to discuss the matter further and hopefully understand why I said what I said, I'm happy to do it. Provided you approach the matter seriously without name calling.

  Wait.. you can downvote? Sorry, Reddit expat exploring other sites and all I see on HN is upward-pointing triangles.

    Welcome, it's very nice here. You need karma > 500 to downvote, you can't downvote direct replies to your own posts and you can't see how many votes other people's posts have received. It's pretty reasonable in my opinion, downvoting is much more rare on HN in my experience. I think it's best to just ignore things instead of voting.

What's unhinged about it? It's the same principle, the only difference is severity of the violation. Of course being raped is miles ahead of the weak form of mind control attempt that is advertising, but it's the same damn scale.
