Do you want to discuss it? I can understand value people would have taken from the post even while disagreeing with its general thrust. Also it’s pretty hard for those people to suggest why they supported it if that’s gonna tar them with being a racist, so it’s possible they have reasons I can’t guess.
I guess there is the possibility of brigading though that always seems less likely to me than people seem to think it is.
It also seems plausible that people saw it as some kind of free speech bellwether, though that seems mistaken to me (you can just downvote the bad stuff and upvote the good).
Yeah maybe?
