"Victim shaming", "Privilege", "Tone argument", "Derailment". Hope you're enjoying all that kool aid, bro. :)

It must be tough, doing your internship, dealing with all these bros that are making apps and giving them away for free and calling them whatever they want. You need to reevaluate your perspective. There are people starving to death, dying

All programmers should realise that being _forced_ to type a word that is loosely tied to a gender that isn't your own is a crushing emotional hit, probably comparable to rape. I feel ill all of a sudden thinking about all the disabled

IRC is gender neutral. You made a foolish assumption. Not everyone does that, or even cares in the slightest what a users gender/age/cultural background/disability/whatever is. All you have done is reveal your own past p

Because it's not untactful. Perhaps if people didn't live in their little USA bubble they'd realise that the word 'bro' in most countries just means 'friend' or 'brother'. Even if it is inherentl

So, we apply the 'American Fraternity Guy' definition to a word that has existed for longer than the USA as a country has and is used cross culturally to mean many different things (usually just 'friend' in my experience

That did not move the goal posts. You're being intellectually dishonest and attacking a straw man.

I've never been near a frat or anything related to an American college and I lots of my female and male friends use the word 'bro' to greet/reference each other. It's terrible that you've had such a shitty life

The name doesn't do that. All the Social Justice Warriors that have invaded HN are doing that. If they spent more time actually programming something they'd be less time to moan about the name of a command line tool.

White/male/cigender privilege is having a sense of humour and not being butthurt constantly, didn't ya know?

What's your point? It really seems like you're simply trying to damage his character by saying his rhetoric is like a 'militant cult'. This is classic ad hominem, you don't actually address any of his points, just a

People aren't doing any vilifying? Have you not been witness to the absolute carnage that has ensued for Paul Graham since being misquoted? Are we actually communicating on the same website right now? My opinions are tantamount to a ma

My experience is that of a white male. Does that make my opinions or viewpoint any less valid in your eyes? I've expressed one opinion on 'the right way to do this'. Help the disadvantaged - and don't vilify those with p

by jacobtracey 13y ago
No, that is not what I said. I said calling it privilege only stands as a reason to vilify a group. Whether or not you choose to do that is up to you. You and many others seem to have taken the tact of creating a sense of responsibility to

I have no doubt that systemic racism still exists, particularly in the United States. Certainly, that paper provides evidence that those with African American sounding names are at a disadvantage to people with white sounding names when app

You've added nothing but questioning his character and then a string of baseless insults. I'm sure if you had anything of value to say you'd have said it by now, so I'm just gonna let this one go.

Your language does not read as being genuine. To be frank, it reads like someone trying to derail the discussion by critiquing someone else's tone. I currently do not believe that you are arguing in good faith. Do you see how stupid yo

This collectivism grouping of people with 'privilege' is so bogus it's astounding that people follow it so blindly. Have you ever considered the possibility that people can judge other people based on their individual merits,

The quote was "If you're under 40, I'm largely uninterested in your take on the world." See the words 'largely', and 'uninterested'? Do you understand what those words mean? Fucking hell.

My girlfriend put her hand in my pants without asking this morning, so she's part of 'rape culture'?

It's possible to sympathise with both of their mixed up lives. Do you always ask your partner if you can kiss or have sex with them?
