I was wondering why something so mean, basically bullying this guy, was on the front page of hacker news. Glad I skipped to the bottom and read the apology.

This really was a rollercoaster ride of a blog post, good content.

I'm still not sure why it's on HN though. And even with the twist at the end they still spent an entire page making fun of the guy's appearance, clothing, name, and so on.

Oh I love it. The existence of these things must mean that there is an anti-refinement-culture operation going on out there, perhaps with participants unaware.

Yes, everyone relies on either the paint or the three point line. Everyone relies on leg kicks and grappling. Everyone builds from the back and scores off a cutback.

But maybe not everyone. Maybe in the realm below the machine-optimized carcinized athlete is diversity in style. Love to see it.

Possibly someone just watched Napoleon Blownapart's latest (excellent as usual) video[0] (Shinigami is covered from 21:10 to about 29:45.)

(In his mind, NappyBo followed the same arc as the article, it seems; the video is much more considered.)

This whole point could've easily been made without being a complete dick for 90% of the article. This style of writing isn't clever, it's just being a douche.

I know it is for fun but the joke is that we're supposed to be judging this guy for his look and think he is bad automatically?

Also nitpick: shinigami (死神) literally means god of death, dunno why use "personification".

It’s making fun of the large majority of people who would judge the guy by his look, yes.

A note to the author: if you’re going to translate the word “shinigami”, do it right: it’s not “death” but “Death God”. He still showing disrespect. smdh
