I get the necessity for NSFW warnings where appropriate, but anyone who has a problem with that tiny, flickering, black and white half-body shot of a woman in lingerie, clearly within the context of a larger collection, has got something wrong with them.
Every so often an HN discussion about "brogrammers" and latent sexism comes up. This is a great example. That particular image serves to communicate to the women in the audience "you are objects" (yes, really!) The inclusion of that particular image does make some people uncomfortable and could certainly qualify as NSFW in some work settings (I was an educator, working with mostly 9-10 year olds. "EWWW! Teacher had a dirty picture on his computer!") The only reason to choose such an image is to signal to other bros "hey, I'm cool too", which unfortunately signals to all the rest of us (whether intentionally or not) "I don't respect women".
But that's not what you said. You said it was NSFW, which I thought was a ludicrous claim and still do.
Trying to whip up a storm of righteous outrage about sexism and misogyny out of this is just ridiculous. Don't you have anything better to do?
And the hilarious thing is how you just assume the author of the page is a guy. Because, y'know, only guys can make web pages, and only guys would read hacker news! Who's sexist now?
I'm not sure why (as I'm a heterosexual guy) but these kind of photos seem to dumb the content down and I feel like I should have a Coors Light in my hand.
PC's should really go back to having the arrow keys all in a line (instead of an upside down T), so you can press any of them without moving your fingers - it's so much faster.
I can understand the nostalgia around the game sounds, of course, because they more strongly evoke the memories of actually playing the game.
