I love HN, I make a huge post, and when the page finishes loading the tread again it is already downvoted

Well you didn't really change your argument or raise any interesting points half way through. I mean, you're probably better off that people don't finish it if you want to avoid downvotes, considering that you suggest discrimination against gay people is due to societies wanting to maintain a population.

I downvoted you because I don't think the post was very coherent. It rambles, it doesn't make any effort to directly connect to the original story, and in general comes across more as a rant than a piece of thoughtful commentary.

> I love HN, I make a huge post, and when the page finishes loading the tread again it is already downvoted Posts aren't judged based on size, but content. And anonymous voting is often completely unfair -- just like life. I suggest that you take this as useful feedback to improve how you express yourself. Your post has word usage issues (as other have commented), a problem with length versus content, things like that. At risk of quoting a cliche, make lemonade.

  It was downvoted in the time between me hitting submit and the page loading again, how it was a judgement of content? The guy can read the whole wall of text in the three seconds it took my 3g to reload?

    > The guy can read the whole wall of text in the three seconds it took my 3g to reload? 1. Certainly. There are lots of speed-readers out there. 2. Why do you assume the downvoter was a guy? That's an everyday example of sexism.

Your points suffer from the is-ought problem. Your last sentence about "might makes right" even reveals you are aware of this, without any attempt to address it. This takes away the foundation of your whole post.
