Diversity and Inclusion Statement

Respect Without Pretending

This Diversity and Inclusion Statement explains how IT SUCKS! approaches people, opinions, identity, disagreement, public behavior, and criticism. The website supports basic respect for people, but does not treat bad ideas, public hypocrisy, corporate nonsense, political clownery, activist slogans, or media failures as protected from criticism. It also makes clear that disagreement is not automatically hate, and that public influence comes with public accountability.

I. Purpose

This Diversity and Inclusion Statement explains the general approach of IT SUCKS! to people, opinions, labels, identities, disagreement, criticism, and modern public nonsense.

This is not a decorative corporate virtue badge. IT SUCKS! is not here to clap politely at every slogan, repeat fashionable phrases, or pretend that every public idea is brilliant because someone wrapped it in nice language.

The basic rule is simple: people deserve basic respect. That said, public behavior has consequences, and some people work very hard to earn less patience, less sympathy, and much more criticism.

Bad ideas, bad decisions, public stupidity, hypocrisy, corporate nonsense, political clownery, and media failures do not deserve protection from criticism.

II. Equal Opportunity Criticism

IT SUCKS! may criticize nonsense wherever it appears.

That includes nonsense from politicians, companies, celebrities, journalists, influencers, institutions, activists, brands, public figures, online mobs, and people with very expensive job titles.

Nobody gets automatic protection from criticism because of nationality, background, status, fame, ideology, gender, sexuality, religion, political side, company size, or fashionable vocabulary.

If something sucks, it may be criticized.

III. People Are Not the Main Target

IT SUCKS! is generally interested in actions, decisions, statements, systems, public behavior, products, policies, arguments, and the strange ways modern life manages to become ridiculous.

The website does not exist to attack private people for who they are.

However, when people choose to act publicly, speak publicly, sell publicly, govern publicly, influence publicly, or lecture everyone publicly, their words and actions may become fair subject for criticism.

Public behavior invites public response. That should not be shocking.

IV. Gender, Sexuality, and Label Chaos

People may describe themselves in many ways, including male, female, binary, non-binary, LGBT, queer, straight, questioning, unsure, certain, fashionable, unfashionable, or something else entirely.

Milan is an old-school guy. He identifies as he/him, sticks with ordinary he/she language, and prefers simple visual appearance identification in everyday writing and speaking. That may not satisfy everyone, but this website is not built to satisfy everyone.

IT SUCKS! does not attack people simply for who they are, who they love, or how they personally identify.

At the same time, public debates about gender, sexuality, identity language, pronouns, corporate inclusion campaigns, activist slogans, political messaging, school policies, media language, and institutional rules are not above criticism.

Respecting people does not mean pretending every phrase, policy, campaign, demand, or public argument makes sense.

Some of it may be thoughtful. Some of it may be useful. Some of it may be confusing, performative, hypocritical, forced, badly explained, or completely detached from common sense.

IT SUCKS! may criticize that mess when it deserves criticism.

V. No Tribal Loyalty

IT SUCKS! is not loyal to any political party, movement, country, ideology, corporation, institution, celebrity, media outlet, activist group, or online tribe.

The target is nonsense, not identity.

If the left does something stupid, it may be criticized. If the right does something stupid, it may be criticized. If a corporation turns basic decency into a marketing campaign, it may be criticized. If an activist slogan becomes brain-melting nonsense, it may be criticized. If a public figure behaves like a walking bad decision, yes, that may be criticized too.

VI. Different Views Are Allowed

Readers may disagree with articles, comments, opinions, tone, wording, conclusions, or the general existence of the website.

Disagreement is not automatically hate, harm, abuse, violence, or any other dramatic label someone found in a corporate training PDF.

People can disagree strongly and still survive the experience.

VII. Strong Language and Boundaries

IT SUCKS! may use sarcasm, rude words, frustration, direct criticism, and occasional verbal eye rolling.

Strong language may also appear in comments where it fits the context.

However, there is a line between criticizing nonsense and targeting people with genuine hatred, threats, harassment, doxxing, or dehumanizing abuse.

Swear at the nonsense. Mock the bad decision. Criticize the public statement. Tear apart the ridiculous policy.

Do not threaten people or attack private individuals simply for existing.

VIII. Public Figures and Accountability

Public figures, politicians, companies, journalists, influencers, celebrities, institutions, and organizations may face stronger criticism because they have public influence.

That is not exclusion. That is accountability.

If someone uses a platform to shape public opinion, sell something, govern people, preach morality, push policy, or lecture everyone else, they should expect questions, criticism, jokes, and possibly a well-earned “this sucks.”

IX. Inclusion of the Annoyed

IT SUCKS! welcomes readers from different backgrounds, countries, beliefs, opinions, moods, and levels of patience.

This includes people who are tired, skeptical, irritated, disappointed, sarcastic, politically homeless, allergic to corporate language, or simply fed up with modern nonsense.

You do not have to agree with everything here. You do not even have to like the tone.

But if something made you roll your eyes and mutter “this is ridiculous,” you may be in the right place.
