It's a response to people sperging out over silly things which isn't more acceptable just because it's a tech forum.

FWIW, "quit whiteknighting for the megacorps", when someone rejects a comment that happens to slight a corporation, is just as tired as their complaint no matter how effective "down with teh corporations!1" is on social media.

That makes as much sense as accusing someone of whiteknighting just because they happen to defend a female politician or whoever.

I don't appreciate your veiled attempt to conflate accusing a company of false advertising as being a kin to mysiginy and sexism.

Namecheap advertises cheap domains when, as covered in this discussion, it jacks up prices. This is impossible to defend even by the staunchest corporate shill.

It wasn’t veiled, and it was accurate. This whole thread is boring, which was the point.
