Not separating ideas, art etc. from who made it is a mistake.
It only leaves us more depraved and ignorant.

Even if it is a bad idea, art etc. then there is probably something to learn from it.


On a side note.

Is this guy not obviously frustrated?

Does he really deserve humiliation, or "being called out" and how will that help anyone?

Wont that just alienate him even more?

IMHO what he deserves is patience and help on how to deal with his frustration in an evolving world.

You would not call out a junior dev' for bad code, you would help them learn.
So why would you call out, or attack, an opinion on any other matter?

It's fruitless, and just comes of as self-serving to me when people "call others out".
