No, it's not that you're "right". It's that your techbro-ism is showing. Not a good look.

You've repeatedly broken the site guidelines in this thread by calling names, among other things. That's not cool—not in this comment, nor in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25862065, nor in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25862047. We ban accounts that post repeatedly like that. Fortunately, your comment history doesn't have much of it (in fact, I didn't see any other cases when I skimmed back a ways) and contains many good comments. Please stick to that kind of comment and drop this kind. The commons is vulnerable and fragile and we need everyone to help protect it.

I'm not sure what techbro-ism means. I don't work in tech. Do you mean that as a man, I ought not to criticize a black woman's poetry? I don't accept that.

It's inappropriate to make a pass at autism as the reason why the person may be responding in a manner one disagrees with towards a piece of art. For one thing, autistic poets and authors exist and can exist successfully, often with their neurodiversity actively enriching their art.
(Especially given the poet in question has a disability herself, I am criticizing the assuming a disability as a way to to criticize someone's response to art.)
