hypnos1··on Girl, Bye
The facts you're ignoring are his characterization of female colleagues and contacts as "chicks", and allegedly repeated behavior of talking about his sexual encounters in the office. This is the type of behavior that can lead to a hostile work environment suit.
hypnos1··on Girl, Bye
If this kind of post can be dismissed as cliche, its an indication of a problem in the industry and not with the writer.

The commenters that preceded me would do well to remember her article is a venting on Tumblr, and not the conversation she had with her co-workers or manager. Denigrating her tumblr post for being an inappropriate work attitude misses the point.

hypnos1··on Play War: Homemade Recreational Battlefields
Interesting, I didn't get the impression there was this bias at all. If it was intended to be an article and gallery about paintball per se, then I would agree you. My understanding was that they were writing about and photographing specifically the subset that recreates battlefields, both real and imaginary.

And even though the writer touched upon issues of militarism, even those were even-handed in my opinion. There was no antiwar preaching to be found.

hypnos1··on Poor Kids of Silicon Valley
The lack of empathy on display here is astonishing. Is this quality a prerequisite to participating in the luckier side of the wealth-gap of silicon valley?
