Wait what.. The problem is that women hackers might not feel welcome, because 'sex has been thrown into it'. Seriously? The author obviously intended it to be funny in a way, so if you don't like it (which of course is subjective), don't come up with over-emancipated crap like this :).
I for one think that people ought to take stuff less seriously, and this writing style seems befitting. Way to go!
I didn't notice at first, but there is a problem. Not sex specifically, but the asymmetry. In the photo as well as in the text, the all too familiar "male over female" pattern showed all over.
Now if it were a female hacker talking the same talk and showing the same photo, only with her banging her boyfriend from behind, then it would be different, because this situation definitely isn't the default. It could still be offensive, but I would find it funnier.
I would go so far as to say it is pornographic. I don't have a personal problem with the style, but degradation as humor has never been a good enough excuse, in my household, anyway. I just sort of pity the kind of thinking that begets such accoutrements.
This is one of the worst trolls i've seen on HN. Obvious ignorance of pegging, flame-baiting the downvoters and trying to link the possibility of alternative sex acts with physics.
She could bang him with her fist too. That would be from behind, and completely feasible with human anatomy. Clearly you haven't been on the internet very long. I can probably find you video evidence in about 20 minutes...
I think "throwing in sex" and "throwing in derogatory content" are a little different. I didn't mind his writing style but the pictures (sans the monkey shot) and captions took away from the article. He's free to do as he pleases, but I respect him a lot less for choosing to use such content. I don't really want fat chick jokes while reading a game development article.
