#33Personally, this disgusts me. We should express admiration for people who earn it, by doing admirable things and being admirable people. Being "hot" is not a valid criterion for judging people. And, no, it's not "just fun." I don't see how anyone could enjoy participating in this kind of misjustice.
can you then objectively define what's admirable? it seems like a subjectively slippery slope - your admirable might be different than my admirable. admirable is also very context-dependent: on HN, admirable is commonly agreed to adhere to the site guidelines & reflected in earned karma and so here, "hot" != admirable because that's not HN's scope. on a site like the OP though, the common agreement is that the site i…

Anything else is just jackassery.

To all the picture complainers, complain to Twitter.
