Certain topics are taboo like Gamergate or Sexisim in STEM.
They lead to flamewars and bring in trolls.
Sure we all want equal pay for equal work and more diversity in STEM, but these sexist issues just bring in the SJW trolls and then the topic goes from bad to worse.
It is something that shouldn't be discussed on Hacker News, because it is more political than technical.
