Then what is fighting the good fight if not bringing attention to negative attitudes towards women? It's an article about two very overrated writers who treated women terribly and yet rather than critically approach the attitudes of these authors, the article's writer gleefully revels in their chauvinism. I was bringing it to attention since it is very relevant to the article at hand.

I know you are being ironic, but the fact that this is the reply and im getting downvotes just shows how HN thinks about and treats women.

Ugh, the way this writer talks about women is pretty gross. I know its a piece about two of the most macho types in midcentury literature, but must the author of the article really refer to women as "conquests"?

This is some incredibly naive thinking. To build a 'positive future' you need to focus on the problems its facing - otherwise what are you building?

Rubicon's been taking a beating in the market. I hope that AppNexus' IPO along with Snapchats brings some energy back into adtech and new tech stocks.

AppNexus just fired something 14% of their staff in NYC, around 150 jobs. Mostly marketing/sales but I knew a few devs who got canned. Apparently doing some housecleaning before their IPO

Sorry, 'serge', but I am gonna call out things the president-elect says - such as that three million people voted illegally in the last election - as what they are: grade A bullshit.

The reason why so much of it was negative is because the majority of things he said were flat out lies or smearing other people.

Ah yes because the mainstream media censored Trump so much. I didn't see any coverage of him or his views anywhere! And I certainly didn't see the bullshit he said just simply parroted and repeated in newspaper headlines without any clarification or fact checking at all.

Give me a fucking break.

So you'd rather them be impersonal and haughty?

Personally I have less respect for "detached" institutions nowadays. It removes them from the concerns of their users and attendees and creates an echo chamber. I love that you can directly petition companies with twitter and air grievances against them in public. It's high time companies act like they are run by and for humans and not just some black box of capital.

Also it's a dictionary - it's supposed to engage and work with language. And right now, twitter is where a lot of new usage of language is being fomented.

>Judging by this article and others, "alt-right" seems to be turning into another way of saying "politics I don't like and wish weren't taken seriously" - not that it ever referred to any particularly coherent movement in the first place, but those in the media can't seem to further dilute the label quickly enough, and even those who formerly adopted it seem to be starting to move away.

The term "alt-right" was coined by Richard Spencer and initially referred specifically to his paleoconservative brand of ethno-nationalism. Now it is a broader term, yes, but it's meaning is generally intact.

Impact matters more than intent.

That was the impression I got as well - after all this has all the hallmarks of some Bennington grad's "social experiment" - but they went about it in the worst way possible. Rather than say satire or even their own reportage, they simply lied and raked in the dough.

Unfortunately the media isn't going anywhere. NYT, who got it so wrong when it mattered the most, added 41k net subs in the week following the election
