I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

      Your question is why I considered a sweeping generalization about a group of people to be bigoted?

      Just clarifying here. You are confused about why assigning a stereotype to people based on genetic traits came off as bigotry.

      I wasn’t intending to be being ablist, and I really don’t think I was. That accusation honestly upsets me. I feel like they didn’t even try to read my comment, something just hit one of their triggers and they went into attack mode.

      There are two types of tech workers without social skills: Those who haven’t invested in them (statistically the majority), and those who aren’t able to develop them (statistically the minority).

      The right-wing pipeline preys on both of these groups. This has been documented and researched. It takes advantage of them and turns them onto incel culture. This is partially causative of the culture shift in the industry which I and others have pointed out.

      To self-censor myself from speaking about this exploitation doesn’t make me more or less ablist, in my opinion.
