This kind of comment is what makes discussion difficult. You're just alluding to some kind of indecent opinions which offend(?) you, without pointing out anything specifically. I have no idea what you're talking about. All I gleamed from your comment is that 'someone' is responding in some unspecified way which you don't like, and you follow that up with a strawman about 'caricatures' which I have not seen in this thread.

"And my preferred pronoun this week is blergl." is very much a caricature and variations of it have been made a few times.

As is "Using the wrong gender is enough to cause someone to commit suicide?" when it's pointed out that doing so is part of the pattern they're often harassed with.

EDIT: edited, see below

Except you've made both of those quotes up... I can't find any similar comments in this thread by searching for parts of the quoted text you provide. OP is complaining about responses to this article on hackernews, provides zero examples of what he/she is actually complaining about, and you come to support with quotes you made up to match the perceived grievance? Seriously?

sigh

I wanted to avoid that, but I have replaced them with copy-pasted quotes to make your searching easier.

The first quote is in bad taste, though the context is not as bad, and the comment as a whole lead to a pretty interesting exchange. I see nothing wrong with the second quote, it is not intentionally made to offend, it's part of a reasonable argument. Even if you disagree, or the author is not as informed as you on the issue - that doesn't mean they should not be saying what they did. The purpose of the comments is to discuss things, not to display your ideological allegiances or be right about everything.
