Ironically a captive ear is exactly what SJW's demand, and if you fail to oblige you're a (delete as appropriate) straight/white/male/able-bodied/cis-gendered/dudebro who is "part of the problem" and "literally Hitler". I'm so disappointed in how partisan YC has become, capitulating completely to prevailing meme of SJWs. It's becoming less about "make something people want" and more "care about what people think".

This had little to do with politics. The guy mocked a YC founder who expressed fear for his safety, and called another YC founder a "coward", among other things.

And just a couple weeks ago YC didn't capitulate to demands to cut ties with Peter Thiel over his support of Trump.

What other instances are you referring to?

The thing you're talking about is, regardless of its accuracy, distant from this situation.
