[a sign reads FEMINIST CONFERENCE next to a closed door, a blue character shrugs and says…] I don’t care [next to the same door, the sign now says RESTRICTED FEMINIST CONFERENCE WOMEN ONLY, there are now four blue characters desperately banging on the door, one is reduced to tears on the floor, they are shouting] DISCRIMINATION SO UNFAIR!!! LET US IINN!! MISANDRY https://thebad.website/comic/until_it_affects_me [https://thebad.website/comic/until_it_affects_me]

I’m not pointing at the post this links to, or the reply I’ve linked to, but the surrounding context, including replies from the moderators telling them they’re not welcome.

But seriously, I haven’t seen this problem (since Wolfballs died), and it’s probably because I rarely look at All instances or scroll to the bottom of huge threads. Or maybe .ml has blocked where these bigots hang out? I really don’t know, just guessing here.-

    From personal experience posting my content on multiple platforms, Lemmy’s userbase is by far the most fragile one regarding sexism.

    Yes, even worse than Reddit, where this very comic had its comment section locked by the rcomics mods due to the hundreds of pissed off dudes crying in the comments. At least they get downvoted on Reddit. Lemmy really is dudebro land, and needs to fix that if it wants to grow further (which I would like as a Lemmy enjoyer).

    I’ve said this a few times already, and it usually makes Lemmy users uncomfortable, so I’ll keep repeating it as often as necessary.

    yea i believe it, i didnt post it in slop/dunktank when it happen but west lemmy had a huge drama about the meme of “would you rather find a bear or man in a forest” feminists did, they literally started crying about misandry and being sexists and harrasing every woman lemmy they could find because of a meme

      some of the most ridiculous misogynistic “erm actually men are the real victims so shut up about your oppression” takes i’ve seen have come from lemmitors

      i honestly wouldn’t be on this platform at all if not for hexbear and lemmygrad; every other instance is either terminally MRA or just doesn’t care to take action against incel bullshit

      I’m a man and I’d rather encounter a bear in the woods than a man. Men are by far the most dangerous and unpredictable demographic. You at least know how a bear is going to behave.

        if we take the hypothetical literally i think it depends on the type of bear and whether you’re in the woods in the woods and are suddenly less than a meter a way or if it’s coming down the trail at a safe distance etc

        there’s definitely overlap though which is the point. rather be 20 meters from a black bear than 20 meters from a person i didn’t expect to be in the same county, rather be 2 meters from most weird woods guys than 2 meters from a grizzly, but not all of them.
