I always sort of hated this image. The point seems to be that one should jump to the idea the replies are racist and / or sexist. But when you actually look at who the post is from it’s clearly from some “facts” account / company thing. Which honestly should lead to a degree of incredulity. It’s the same kind of thing as “this 22yr old bought just their second house” and then you read two paragraphs and actually their parents gave them a small loan of a million dollars to start their real estate business.
Like, the whole point of the post is to bait people into saying that kind of thing, so when people fall for it it’s kinda understandable.
ITT: basically a reddit comment section on a post with any woman.
Guess the “it feels like Lemmy is more positive” days are over. So it goes.
Every top comment is positive, are you deliberately sorting by controversial?
The post looked different 9 months ago.
I didn’t realize I was sorting by top of all time, that’s my dumbassery at play 😅
ITT: people getting upvoted for whining about posts from fragile males, while the few such posts are downvoted to oblivion.
What are you talking about? Literally every post with more score than yours is positive and mocking the bigots in the post.
If anything a statement like this reminds me of reddit where <1% has voted and commented but some bad takes are already attributed to the other 99%. (But the good comments are also way older than your post…)
I don’t understand why people absolutely need to make everything about man vs woman.
If it was a male model those people would have written exactly the same. If tomorrow comes out an article saying the same thing about bred pitt everyone would be suspicious about that being fake too
Since the two jobs are so disconnected from each other it sounds unlikely and they assumed it was some clickbait fake post, that’s all.
I’m absolutely for equality and against any discrimination against women or any other category, but making this into a gender battle is ridiculous
I’d be impressed by anyone who could “Hello, world” in MIPS
A hello world in MIPS is impressive by itself.
Guess what, if that was some pumped-up muscle-bound male model that was 3/4 naked walking down the runway, people would be saying similar things about him too.
Yeah… hostile work environment… sure
Itt: people getting upset over joke comments.
If there was a post about a male model saying the same thing the comments would be exactly the same. Not everything is about gender or race.
I’m sure she’s a programmer. But she’s a programmer who drops her Stack Overflow score… let’s just say that’s a red flag in my book. (For all programmers).
For non programmers, it’s like someone dropping their reddit karma score, or the number of their subscribers on Youtube as the first thing they say. Basically “my most important accomplishment is some rather unimportant digits”.
(Views matter far more than subscribers on youtube, mostly because subscribers can easily be manipulated)
that is just sad. yet so many will say sexism does not exist
The funny thing is that in my experience female programmers usually have above average skills. I suspect it’s exactly because of this bias against women in tech. Where an average or below average dude can easily get by, this is much harder for women. As a result this bias acts as a kind of filter which results in female programmers being on average a little better than male programmers because all the average or below average ones get filtered out early.
Pretty sure racism is also involved
