Normally I’d be the first to argue for cultural diversity. However I don’t know of any culture that would consider masturbation an appropriate theme for a tech demo.
Even the articles on here that are very specifically about adult content (such as advertising on porn sites) have been more tasteful than some of the demos on this project.
So I can only conclude that this submission isn’t the result of cultural bias. Unless you consider “immaturity” a culture. But then you have to ask yourself if that’s a culture you want to promote in HN.
- dang 4mo ago> masturbation an appropriate theme for a tech demo. Oof, I didn't see any of that. I was reacting to the boy/girl stuff at the beginning, which is the sort of thing that is still conventional in some places. If I had seen the level of weirdness that you describe, I wouldn't have posted. I've added an edit to my post above. Forgive the "if" - that's my hedge against having to watch the entire thing!
