Really? Have you read this thread? Any time there's anything remotely immature or misogynistic posted, the comments tend to focus way more on that than the actual content. Not saying that it's bad or good, just pointing out that I'd say HN is MORE sensitive than most places to this sort of thing.
Given the relative maturity and (geographic) diversity of the demographic here, I think we give a pass to a lot of design/taste-related faux pas, as long as the idea/discussion is great. But the content in the OP arguably crossed the line, thus the high number of complaining comments.
