The Hypocrisy of Some Blogger
Summary: The co-founder of OKCupid made a donation to a homophobic senator in 2004.
There's a lot wrong with this "scandalous" revelation. Do we have any direct word on Sam Yagan's change of heart to support the oust of Brendan Eich? This blogger does not, from Yagan's actions we have to assume he feels differently now, a decade later.
And so, these toothless allegations of hypocrisy fall apart. This point from the rant:
> This was a PR stunt, and as I show below, nothing but a PR stunt.
The stunt had the intended result, so this statement is either false or in doubt. Or, if the stunt is unrelated to Eich's removal, then it reflects popular sentiment to boost the OKCupid brand; it's familiar bland commercialism and no kind of hypocrisy.
