- Edman274 3y agoWhat people have historically called a "gay lisp" is actually a hyper-articulation of /s/ or /z/, and as you might expect, /s/ and /z/ have a lot of high frequency sounds in them. Weird as it sounds there is a possible scenario where an audio codec does a worse job reproducing the audio content of gay male speech compared to straight male speech.

- gcr 3y agoQuestions of "which users can use my product and which can't" certainly encompass political views to be sure, but they also extend further beyond. I don't see why you feel the need to argue from the position of "woke devil's advocate" here. For a politically-neutral example of why poor DEI practice can lead directly to worse products, see my sister comment about faucet sensors and black skin.
