Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Right it's not the usual, it's just excusing the women who raped me (well, so is the law in my area, which is also an issue) because "it's always men." Forgive me if I don't care to make the distinction lmao, the sign is wrong and you are wrong.
Wrong x2 because I'm not engaging with the "oh we're raped more no we're raped more.." because the goddamn statistics are skewed by the virtue if the legal definition excluding woman abusers from the charge of rape by default, I'm engaging with the "and that's why you don't matter" portion. I don't fucking care who is raped more, speak about all of it instead of hand waving away male victims of female abusers.
It's bonkos to me how you are sitting here being all smug feeling good about attempting to silence rape victims. How can you not see you're part of the problem?
I don't remember silencing you mate. as I said, it's embellishment and pointing to a societal problem. same with the bear question. you're not supposed to take it literally.
maybe go counter protest with a sign that says "make your signs more precise and less attention grabbing" I don't know. then we could be talking about that issue as well, because it is an issue. "men can't be raped" is the result of our patriarchal society, and part of the problem with toxic masculinity. we should indeed talk about that too. systemic sexism hurts everyone.
Don't make me tap "the sign." Y'know, the one you keep defending? The "always men" one? Idgaf if it's supposed to be literal or not, fuck that sign either way.
If it's an issue why attempt to silence me on the issue? If you agree it's an issue why are you not calling it out when you see it? Would you agree racism is an issue? Do you also police when victims of racism can speak or only victims of rape?
Sure it does, so stop trying to get me to stop speaking against an example of it right now. If you don't have anything good to ad don't add anything at all.
you keep saying "silence me" while you're clearly very much the opposite of silent. no one's silencing you. go protest.
You're attempting to and I'm refusing, in protest. Go bother someone who cares about your opinion or something.
you're giving yourself too much credit. I didn't know you exist; you're the one who replied to me. you have a weird way of showing you don't care about my opinion.
You're trying so hard lmao. Just give up, your attempts to insult and bully me quite clearly don't keep me from speaking. You've devolved from telling me why I should shut up to "Nuh uh, you do too care!" My guy, it's sad. Quit while you're behind, for your own sake.
I understand you have traumas but you are looking for victimization. no one's silencing you. I'm actively engaging in conversation that you put yourself into, and you're literally crying bully and claiming there's a whole effort to silence you or whatever. there isn't. also you're the one who said you don't care after what feels like 900 replies. I just said that's funny. no one told you to shut up.
"Actively engaging"
"I fart in your general direction."
Yeah you're a paragon of open communication lmao.
That was obviously a response to your ridiculous insult, "absolute muppet", to which I replied with a similarly stupid insult and asking if this is what we're doing now. The gif is a reference to a famous monty python scene where they use ridiculous insults; it's pointing out what you're doing, not directing the insult to you. I guess you can only dish it out?
The fact that you disregarded all that context shows you're either disingenuous or have no reading comprehension.
I'mma keep it a buck I haven't been paying attention to what you're saying for a while now, I'm just fucking with you until you realize it and stop because you're annoying to me (well and that whole "women can't get charged with rape legally in many places but that's 'fixed' even though it absolutely isn't" thing.) Last I was paying attention you blamed it on the patriarchy, which means I'm fighting the patriarchy and you're upholding it by defending the sign, isn't that interesting.
Listen I had the day off yesterday so I had the time to fuck with you but unfortunately I have to work, I've spent my time shitting writing this last message to you in the hopes that you FINALLY understand that my anger at the patriarchal sign is well placed, but if not I really couldn't care less. I'm done with you.
I know, the only other explanation for your nonsensical replies would be that you didn't understand basic English. The rest of your comment solidifies that you haven't understood anything. Just keep airing grievances my man. Thank you so much for not fucking with me; that would have been a nightmare. I can't imagine what horrors would await me. Your sincere engagement was all I needed from this life. Now I can be happy. Good luck on your journey to bring down patriarchy, and crying bully when you have no idea what other people are even saying. ♥
