I Posted Myself Out of a Job

I don't necessarily disagree with the substance but I think the logic is very sound here. Saying "you are free to choose another industry to work in." if you don't like a specific aspect of an industry is I think a quite exclusionary and condescending view. Nothing ever improves if everyone just leaves everything ranging from jobs or even entire fields when they don't like some of it.

There are many people who want to improve things instead of leaving.

Bringing more bigotry to the industry is not improving it. There was a subtext of "bigots are not welcome here".

Of course, that is not an improvement at all..... god I wish we just left all personal stuff and identity outside work and unrelated hobbies, it would be much easier... I remember when most people only had a username and zero personal information about themselves so everyone was pretty much faceless, so this wasn't as big of a problem.
