A. This leads to politeness fetishists and tone policing. If someone says something offensive like "we should remove LGBT+ books from schools," I'd rather shoot myself than speak nicely to that person.
B. This has not been my experience with my fellow Americans at all. I even saw a mod from lemmy.world post mod-flaired horseshit in their politics community about how "The US is not a racist country." Fuck that.
π€·ββοΈ then youβre talking to different people than me idk what to tell ya
Your instance is literally swarming with liberal transplants from reddit, so now you're just being disingenuous.
I live in the midwest, and I'm surrounded by polite fascists. Fuck politeness, and fuck this racist nation.
Then don't complain when people respond in kind...
If they have dogshit opinions about LGBTQIA people or immigrants to begin with, what's rudeness on their part going to do? Lol
Their opinions and lives already lack any value.
Edit: Just noticed this guy moderates a community filled with bigots that engage in frequent use of an ableist slur, so it looks like this clown is referring to people like himself. "I may be an unhinged bigot, but at least I'm polite so I win!" Just the type of person I'm talking about.
Lmao you don't know even know what you're arguing against. I never said anything about whether you should be polite, I just said that if you're going to be a cunt you can't complain about people being cunts back
Also if you did 5 minutes of research you'd see that c/[email protected] doesn't allow any kind of hate speech, there are no slurs in any of the comments, and our most recent post removal was because of ableist and racial slurs. But go off I guess
If you're trying to lie about not being a bigot, you should really not lean into the sexist language lol. But thanks for confirming my suspicions, I suppose.
Anyway, dunking on bigots is always the right choice, so I'm not sure what you think you were contributing by telling me that. Just makes you sound like a typical fragile cis heteroni.
Hahahaha, nah, it's just funny when people who think like you can't handle people not praising you for being so enlightened. Think what you want about me. Weird that you're bringing identity into things considering you don't know anything about me. But at least I don't have to waste more time with you. Seeing you added nothing I accept your concession, you can't win them all. Just lose with more grace next time.
This is what happens when people base their entire world and political beliefs on identity, they always have to bring it up lol
Anyone who identifies as something and bases their entire personality on it is boring as fuck, my personality is all about my sexual interests, my personality is all based on my religion, my skin colour, my favourite beerβ¦. Fucking snooze, 1 dimensional cardboard cutouts
Also just the dogmatism and zealousness. Like good grief dude, people aren't going to conform to your worldview 100%, just like you aren't going to conform to theirs.
But hey, what do I know, all I did was recreate an ironic humor community because I'm ableist and homophobic. I certainly haven't been moderating to keep the good parts and leave the bad behind on reddit /s
But their worldview is the right one donβt you know
I should've known. I really should've known
I really don't give a fuck about people like you or your opinion about me. I'm around you losers constantly where I live. I just find it ironic that someone as fragile as you would presume to lecture someone like me about politeness. I'm not patting myself on the back, either. It only takes a baseline level of awareness to avoid misogynistic language. I'm not praising myself, I'm just amazed that people like you exist, and that there are so many of you. Then you cry when you get deplatformed or banned. It's fucking hilarious!
Bro all I said was that you can't expect people to be nice to you if you're being an asshole to them. Don't care? Cool. Then keep being an asshole.
YOU are the one that got all angry and started making accusations and treating identity like an insult. Which, btw, has all been imagined because I literally have not argued a single position this whole time. "People like me" lmao. You clearly have some pent up rage that you're just waiting to unleash on anyone who you imagine fits that mold.
"Misogynistic language" in this context is just a phrase you're using to shut down conversation, just like you tried with cishet.
Yeah, why did I go out of MY way to be an ass by replying to something you said and lecture you about what you should expect from other people?
Oh, wait...
Idk why did you?
You replied to me
They just let anyone be a mod on lemmy.world, huh? Explains so much
No I didn't
No they make us take a test to prove that we're racist and hate women and curb-stomp gay babies
No they just implicitly welcome such users by not vetting applications like a proper instance
They want to be a new reddit, and reddit was a right-wing platform with shit-tier communities such as the extremely ableist and homophobic r/comedyheaven
No no, there was a test. They provided a list of all the things that MLs hate and don't want people doing (took me days to reach the bottom) and we had to figure out how to do all of them. Because we're evil. Literally Hitler. Oh and also none of us can read.
I'm sorry we can't be Holy like you guys. You truly are a penitent congregation. Except I'm not sorry. Because I'm so evil
I'm not even a good person, but it takes zero effort not to use a sexist slur. Super easy just not to do that. You lot always huff and puff about how it's so hard and so complicated and it's just ... not. We've known not to use the c-slur since like... the 1970s.
You really should do more research, how cunt is perceived varies by country and culture. Your worldview is not total. "You lot" continues to make me laugh. You resort to identity assumptions more than a republican. Just as zealous too.
That's you. That's what you sound like.
No research needed. It's a sexist slur. Your brain is destroyed by bad takes you got from reddit.
Eat my shit *cunt
