What are you, the gender police? Here to arrest me with your gender-symbol handcuffs? Take me to gender jail? Make me do gay stuff with all my gender cellmates? Then what will you do with your free time, huh? Read the article that would tell you why there’s a picture of a woman when the title of the post is about men?

Ridiculous!

That font makes reading the article painful. One paragraph of all caps is fine, but a full, long article in all caps? I tried, but I had to give up before they actually got around to explaining the "why." It's a shame.

And now I hate the author a little for that decision.

looks at username

Yeah sorry that font was annoying.

At least it isn't in all caps.

I think.

It's two words, which the point of is that they're obscure. I hope the author of the long-form article wasn't intentionally trying for the same effect.

I'll take your word for it. Or words if you prefer.

What, it's clearly "Rory Fanshaw" a perfectly normal British (Irish/Northumberland) name.

Ain’t nobody got time to read articles.
