I Posted Myself Out of a Job

It's a red flag for sure, along with anime obsessions. Notice how every reply seems to come from pony avatars or waifu. It seems the only time their blogs end up here is when they're engaged in some massive drama, somehow it's never some cool technical content. Pronoun people are out for a fight and this story is a good example.

This is why many hiring managers these days have a covert policy to never hire any of these people, they can absolutely ruin a team, become a management nightmare and have a high chance of causing reputational damage. Even though in larger companies there is often a diversity drive to increase their number. It's just not worth the risk of hiring from this cohort.

Hi, I use pony/anime/furry avatars at work and my blog is loved on this website for its technical content and innovative use of the Socratic method. People like me exist.

Sure, that's great. It's just a flag, a signal to look closer, that's all.

Are anime people the same as the pronoun people? I'm aware there's an overlap but I'm not sure it's significant.
