Where's the sexism in my comment? I'm not assuming that straight women are doing all the cock-sucking, nor am I neglecting the existence of gay men, lesbians, bisexual folks of all stripes, asexual people or other people who just plain don't suck cock. I'm just assuming, to a first approximation, that their contributions toward aggregate cock-sucking cancel out. If roughly half of the world has penises, then some half, and not necessarily the _other_ half, of the world is sucking them.

I'm not trying to be snide, I just suspect you're assuming a reading of my comment that I don't endorse. Plenty of people besides straight women suck cock, and the world is better for it.

I'm merely pointing out that the term "cocksucker", when used as a term of derogation, is actually pretty unsavory.

wvoq your account is dead now, so no one can see or reply to any of your new posts.

Anyway, you are getting downmodded for two reasons:

1: because staunch edited his post so your reply no longer makes any sense.

2: Your reply was totally offtopic.

Thanks for your reply, if you can even read this.

While it's unclear to me whether it's ever off-topic to point out problematic slurs (would you think similarly if the OP had written "they got rid of a faggot..."?), I guess this exchange signals a mutual agreement between myself and the modal HN user about whether we want to interact.

For what it's worth, I don't have showdead turned on, but I can see your comment.
As can I.
He has a reply to lwat that is dead. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3564891
