A very high portion of teenage pregnancies resulted from sexual abuse from an older adult.
People are out there quite literally arguing that the sexual abuse of essentially children is good for society, to enable the population pyramid scheme.
Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with.
I don’t feel like it was always like this.
Not for that comment, but for the pattern of breaking the guidelines. Note the words "repeatedly" and "plenty" in my comment above. If it had just been that one comment, we'd have either posted a warning or not done anything.
There's another factor too: when we have reason to believe that the person has done the same with previous accounts, we're more likely to ban instead of warn. It's all relative though.
> you conveniently ignore all the communists and anti-Trump, group-think, down-vote warriors
I know it feels like the other side always gets a pass, but actually, when accounts with those views (or any views) are breaking the site guidelines repeatedly, we ban them too.
If you see some that we missed, links are welcome. We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here.
Your comment would be fine without that last bit.
Something horrifying. Among other things, the commenter ignored this is about child marriages, but also had some delightful gems like arguing about what women are "designed to do best" for "their happiness". You can imagine the rest. Or just watch The Handmaid's Tale I suppose.
