Live your truth

It would be nice if they didn’t look up his public Instagram. Researching candidates like this should not be the norm.

Can't say I agree. I wouldn't hire an open bigot and skimming social media is a good way to filter for tharlt. The problem is the puritanical aversion to sex and sexuality.
- Exactly. Managers should be making the distinction on wheather what the find actually effects the candidates ability to do the job or not. If it doesn't then it shouldn't factor into the hiring decision.
  I was once on the hiring team at an old job and I looked up the candidate before their interview. The only thing I really found on them that stood out (older person so no online presence) was a news article from over two decades ago about them being arrested for filming themselves having sex with a cow. A slightly deeper search showed that their criminal history was completely clean otherwise. They were interviewing for a test position at a factory. We didn't work with animals so him having a history of being a cow molester was really weird and gross but it had no bearing on his suitability for the job and acordingly I didn't factor it into my decision. He interviewed well enough and we actually wound up hiring him. He turned out to be a shit employee for reasons completely unrelated to cattle buggering but that's beside the point.

his kink was to show it to public.

Could be but could also be a kink for living free. By that measure, I am very, very kinky

99.999% of humans don't need to know I like to wear women's underwear to do my job.

Even if my job was to sell women's underwear.

Apparently I'm one of the 81420 people who need to know
I mean, what kind of women's underwear.
It's important.

Here is some punctuation for OOP: ,,,,,.......,,.,.,,,,....!!!??

Brainfuck!!!

I’ve never understood displaying that level of info to the general public. If you’re a furry that likes BDSM, more power to you, but why in the hell do you feel the need to tell everyone. I’d rather eat and pay my mortgage.

Because isn't 1984. No one should have to hide who they are to appease the cis judeo christian hegemony.
Why are you saying feel the need to tell everyone? They had an open account. That's feeling the need to be open. Not telling everyone.

Sadly, we live in a society.

Society would rather deny a rare super expert talent and shoot itself in the foot, than ever be tolerant…

Isn't the profit motive, like, the main thing in capitalism!? And it's not even a consumer-facing role even. They can't even be profit-minded correctly wtf.

Can confirm. If I was openly kinky with profiles under my full name I wouldn't have my job and would struggle to find another near the pay range.

internet-sentences fails to live up to name. Straight to internet jail.

If you've met a nerdy type and you think they aren't kinky in some way, it's because they've mastered masking in front of the normies. It's an essential life skill. I don't know a single kinky person who isn't a nerd or a geek, and vice versa. Full credit to this guy for living life out loud. Wish being kinky wasn't an opportunity for public shaming, but it is how it is.

Sadly the guy’s kink is poverty.
- He gets off on being turned down for jobs... Vicious cycle.
I want to personally believe in this stereotype.

raises hand and cackles
While there is undeniably large crossover, I also know a several of ace people, who are all very nerdy.
And like, for me, I mean this with zero judgement, I think kink is gross. People can and should live their lives 'out loud', and I think there is nothing wrong with kink. But also, I'd prefer not to hear about it, or to know specifics
- There's a line. I used to work with an old gay dude who would go around the office showing us unsolicited pictures of him and his boyfriend in their bondage getups. I don't have a problem with what he did in his personal life but I did not want to see that shit. He actually got offended at me when I told him to fuck off and I was like be glad I don't want to get you fired or I'd be on the phone with HR right now...
  If I had googled his name and ran across his blog or something that would be on me but don't shove borderline explicit pictures in my face when I'm working.
- To be fair, one can't assume that a person has no kink type interests just on account of being ace, because there is some some overlap even there, but yeah, the way it's phrased that commenters anecdote would better support the notion that kinky people tend to be nerds, than that nerds tend to be into kink.
Hi. Ace and sex-repulsed person with hundreds of board games here.
Occasionally I’m partial to gently holding my wife’s hand.

- I read somewhere that the most intimate HP Lovecraft would get with his partner was gently tugging her finger and uttering a little, 'oomph'.
- "Look, if I wanted to get screwed I've got In the Year of the Dragon right over there."
- Absolute filth.
  I'm against kink shaming, but will have to do an exception
- Occasionally I’m partial to gently holding my wife’s hand.
  I normally have to open my VPN to read such smut
- ooh, be careful. That sounds like a public display of affection. You'd get sent up the principal's office at my high school.
  (why yes, my autistic ass took decades before I became comfortable breaking that ingrained rule, even after graduation. Thanks, Kentucky.)
- Gentle affection? That’s pretty kinky!

Pretty much everyone into STEM is a little kinky. We all love tinkering and asking why. For sexuality that is kink.

He'd smash your atoms though
