Satire is great. Unfortunately: most comments on HN that are written like that are not satire.

The problem of misconstrued satire is as old as the Internet. And because satirizing misogyny on HN is a high wire act in the best of circumstances, you'd be smart to put some explicit indication that you're joking when you attempt it.

Or just don't attempt it at all.

HN isn't "delicate". But HN tries to keep a high signal-to-noise. That means, generally, aggressively downvoting off-topic comments including attempts at humour (that aren't otherwise substantial). Not doing this means that threads quickly devolve into reddit-like grabs to try to be clever. Adding sexist language is presumably what dang is referring to by bannable offense (then realising it was a bad joke).

I don't know what your comment said, but just remember that Livecoding is funded by Ycombinator.
