Ask HN: Can people who flagged this to death explain why?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28348693

It's copyright-free educational content of a non-pornographic but sexual nature. I was sexually abused for years as a child. I don't harp a whole lot on things like "rape culture" but I'm baffled and disturbed that this was flagged to death.

Why is a copyright-free educational resource of this sort "not HN worthy" in your eyes?

HN is okay with talking about OnlyFans content policy re actual porn but has some issue with letting people know there is a site like this out there? This doesn't add up for me. I don't see where that line is being drawn.

Perhaps someone could help me understand this.

Thank you.

HN can be a sensitive crowd, and it only takes a few folks to flag and completely shutdown a post.

I think the title of the post was not informative enough, and instead of linking to the GitHub repo it should’ve linked to the website which was much more informative.

It’s worth reposting to see if it gets any traction with those changes. However some topics will just be too contentious or futuristic for the crowd here. In those cases I’m always reminded of that quote from back to the future:

I guess you guys aren’t ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it. - Marty McFly

Thanks. That's good feedback.

I didn't post it. Maybe the person who did will see your comment.

Titles are always hard. They are harder still for sensitive topics.

In a similar boat, but just like any industry, abusers are everywhere...

Look into the bdsm culture and pedo culture at MIT... they will try to hide it... it's out there. Marvin minsky, dershowitz, and more...

I personally believe that this is what Aaron was going after,not technical docs... thus he was suicided.

But these are just my observations, and dont reflect the views of the people that murdered him.

Well, it was unkilled briefly and then rekilled. There is exactly one meaningful comment critiquing the fact that the models are purple and therefore don't look realistic, which sounds like good feedback if they wish to improve on what they are doing.

Maybe someday the sexually sane people will get the upper hand and sexual education will be less drama than it seems to be today.

I upvoted it, it's a really neat project!
