Oh yeah, it's a fine post! Interesting read. But I don't think it's that silly to say that success for a person who espouses these views is success for the views themselves, and that a tone-shift might arise if gradually, more and more posts about inoffensive topics written by "Mr. Don't Worry About It ;)" make their way onto the front page.

A fun and interesting article!

I must however, take the time to be the ever-sensitive snowflake and highlight a troubling trend in this person's other posts. He seems to have some anti-trans leanings[1], refusing to gender people correctly and all that (and certainly not pushing back against comments which declare "M to Fs are psychotic bullies who would kill all of us to maintain their sacred illusion". Not to imply that one must rebuke every unkind thing in their comment section, but I hope you can understand that it is illustrative of his audience.). Now I'm no proponent of death threats or double standards, it's just a convenient way to highlight a lack of respect. He will misgender you if he does not like you, and he does not like any delusional transwomen[2].

He's also quite concerned about Canada's population. The capital-W White population specifically [3]. Note that this is presented separate from later graphs about TFWs, so I don't even think he has the right to hide behind that paper-tissue-thin shield. He is quite sad to see the Great White North get a little less white. I am not saying that Canada has managed its immigration well, but I do not believe that he is overly concerned with those matters.

I'm not here to litigate his arguments, I have other things to do with my life. He has his principles, and I have mine. I'm certain he'd be happy to talk for hours about the transwomen and the Indians and all the topics polite society cowers from. His anti-Zionism and dislike of the Rothchilds, I am certain, comes from a strongly-voiced anti-Imperalist lense.

Ah, yeah, a note that it remains unsolved might help with reader expectations. I didn't find that it affected my experience that much, but I can understand why it would.

I'm definitely not the target market for this, but I do want to say that this really scratches an itch for something that should exist, and I really want to compliment you on how fantastic the execution is! Very clean look in both the physical and digital realms, and I really appreciate just how fully featured it is! It really seems like the ideal version of what this product would be. Also love the idea of the bookmark pattern. Out of curiosity, is that customizable too?

I wonder if the title should be amended to clarify this- I feel as though one would assume from the title that this is imagery from humans.

Damn, I had no idea about this. Definitely would've changed some things had I known that emails were public.

This honestly seems like a bit of a design flaw.
