>It’s wild that this got flagged. There are some really important points here that deserves a discussion.
Whoever flagged it got what they wanted. Flagging generally kicks a submission right off the front page and limits the post's visibility.
After posting, it received a bunch of upvotes and comments. Within an hour or so of flagging, both pretty much stopped -- which achieved the goal of whoever flagged it -- to limit the discussion of this topic. I'll leave identifying the flagger's motivation as an exercise for the reader.
