When I was 10 I watched a episode of Scooby Doo where all the characters took turns looking at the camera to say "ick, drugs" to really drive home the point that drugs are bad.
I remember it well because it was the most hamfisted writing I've ever seen. Until I started reading the tech press, that is.
The coverage of social issues in tech is a case study of writers snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Which isn't surprising, they're just following the lead of outlets like Jezebel who have done more to set women back than the C-suite of the Fortune 500 ever could.
