I don't know what I expected from a blog written entirely in lowercase but I'm unsurprised it's something like this.
> if i can't feminize my compiler, what's the point?
I remember when people saying things like this would be considered strange, because it is strange, along with all the other bizarre and often fetishistic references in both the blog body and various screenshots. Same for the bizarre pull request screenshot referring to "the gay people in my phone", which is also devoid of grammar.
It's one thing to act stupidly, it's another thing to act stupidly write a self-important blog about it and how much you enjoy pissing people off (back in the day we called that trolling, believe it or not, and it was largely considered a negative thing). I eagerly await the paradigm shift when people stop condoning and supporting bizarre behaviour like this and I won't need to create proxies and extensions explicitly for filtering this kind of nonsense out.
I find the worst thing about this not the blog post itself, but the fact that the majority people on here see no problem with it and those who agree with me are being flagged to death.
- ChrisSD 10mo agoIt's ok to be strange. It's ok to be bizarre. Be free. I do not understand the desire for everybody else in the world to act exactly like you. Variety is the spice of life.
- GaryBluto 10mo agoPeople can be strange or bizarre if they want too but they have to understand it means some people won't like them, especially if their shtick is deliberately making people uncomfortable and being annoying. > I do not understand the desire for everybody else in the world to act exactly like you. Variety is the spice of life. I don't want people to act exactly like me. I greatly appreciate the existence of people different from me with differing points of view and differing nations with differing cultures. This doesn't mean I have to like one specific archetype that I feel acts obnoxiously.
- ChrisSD 10mo agoWhy do you feel uncomfortable? Why do you think anyone is trying to make you feel uncomfortable?
- GaryBluto 10mo agoThe author quite literally mentions that part of their motivation to do things is to make people want them to stop, not to mention the deliberate and conscious choice to write the article in lowercase. It's also natural to be uncomfortable because of the various references to sexual fetishes throughout the article.
- hofrogs 10mo agoI don't see any references to "sexual fetishes" in the article.
- GaryBluto 10mo agoThat's impressive considering the article mentions "feminizing" things in big text the moment you load the page.
- hofrogs 10mo ago"feminizing" doesn't refer to a sexual fetish, it just means making something more feminine. Do you assume that something being feminine is automatically sexualized and fetishistic?
- GaryBluto 10mo agoI knew you were going to say this. "Feminizing" doesn't inherently refer to a sexual fetish but context matters. I invite you to examine the article more in depth, look at the chatroom conversations and then come to your own conclusion.
- seethedeaduu 10mo agoI am sorry that you consider queer hackers having fun to be strange.
