> I’m honestly a bit shocked at the reactionary nature of this entire thread. I knew HN had a bunch of conservative and libertarian tech bros but…holy shit. This whole thread is unhinged. It's shocking indeed. I'm not sure "reactionary" is a fitting description. Refusing even to extend the faintest hints of common courtesy while being fully aware of the racist and bigoted connotations of using certain terms is something that even goes beyond basic manners. All the downvoted being dumped on messages that point out this fact is even more concerning. These are basic principles of living in a civilized society. Is that out of fashion?
