I'm glad it wasn't Disney!
But now that I'm thinking about it... seems to be every single company these days. Soooo disappointed with the Witcher. Huge fan of the books and games. The first episode I knew it was gonna be bad. The color grading and general vibe was that of _any_ generic fantasy show on netflix. It wasn't gritty and I didn't get a "eastern european culture/lore" feel more like a "how can we make this appeal to the most people possible by turning all the dials to average." Aggressively middle of the road fantasy from such great source material, ugh.

Be better.
Sigh, fine, I get the point; I'll delete the comment. Sorry. You're right, I shouldn't have done that. Even if it was a joke it's always a bad idea to post anything even remotely controversial on the Internet, especially if it can be in any way construed that you might disagree with the hive mind of the site you're posting to. Thank you for the reminder before it turned into a potential flamewar.
Does someone elses crime expunge our own? You mentioned you were scared of being "murdered" which meant you understood the problem of what you were sharing. Just pointing out the comment guidelines is a simple way of keeping hackernews as a good place to have conversations rather than becoming another internet forum.

I do not think this is true. Humour is a fantastic way to treat controversial topics, but there is a place and a time. Hackernews is many things, but its not the best place to have a one-liner observational humour stand up routine over politics.
No. I never said it does. But I don't see you or anyone else commenting under those other comments in the same way. Perhaps if we're going to chastise one potential rule breaker maybe we should chastise all of them? I agree with you, let's keep HN clean.

I just wanted to highlight the fact that it was a lighthearted joke, because many people nowadays tend to take everything dead serious, assume bad intent and get immediately triggered/offended.
