Thank you for posting this. I haven’t yet read through the whole thing yet, and I don’t necessarily agree with it, but I think it’s important that people feel comfortable expressing their opinions here. The fact that within minutes of posting this has gotten −8 votes is something I find concerning, as I doubt those people have even had time to read and process what you said before voting and I suspect they’re voting based on anger and groupthink. I hope the community will be able to have a productive conversation in these comments.
Yeah, reading further, I definitely don’t agree with a lot of these claims. But the fact that I feel like I have to post this clarification in order to avoid getting downvoted myself is something I think needs to be talked about. The original post is now down to −15, and I haven’t even finished reading it.

I see it’s now up to +18, which is promising. Implies that people who vote without fully reading the post are more likely to downvote than upvote.
