ASOF now, your comment is no longer flagged, and I just upvoted it, so maybe it will recover.

I wouldn't underestimate the role of bots, or bot assisted socks, rather than the HN community. You last sentence just sounds like sour grapes in this context.

"Yes, conservative Latin American men like the male supremacy aspect of it"

is currently flagged. There is indeed a difference of opinion on HN, but also, sadly, rampant abuse of the flagging system.
