I wouldn’t like you to delete it and haven’t downvoted it, but my guess is that the main reasons for downvoting it are (1) it’s not particularly LW-ish content, (2) it has rather a “here is a sociopolitical phenomenon I would like you all to be angry about, and look how some of the people involved are Bad People you ought to feel angry about too” vibe, which tends to be a thing LW tries to avoid, and (3) probably some downvoters have an opposed sociopolitical position and are angry in the opposite direction.
makes sense. 2. aha, I wondered if there was something like that going on. My “anger adblock” is very strong and generally takes verbal anger to be a statement, rather than a demand, in large part because verbal anger has no mechanical impact on me; as such I easily forget others do not respond the same way to reading others’ emotions. Clarification appreciated, edited!
