The man vs bear discussion rustled some feathers over on Reddit lmao
Women: Yeah we feel so unsafe in this society that we would rather pick a wild animal than a man
Men: DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCKING STUPID YOU ARE DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND STATISTICS WHY DO YOU HATE ALL MEN REEEEE
Have these reddiors considered “but it’s funny”
There’s even been some rustling on hexbear about this too. You can take the redditor out of the man, but you can’t take the man out of the redditor, lol.
Do you have a link? I wanna read it but never visited the site.
Yes, I consider hexbear sort of the sister instance to grad, so I’m also over there frequently. It started with this thread and then later spilled over into another one.
I feel very bad for dirt_owl, the OP of both threads, and all the other women/gnc users posting their thoughts.
Well that was an interesting read to say the least. Can’t wrap my head around how some men see this and think: how can I make myself the victim here.
I was around for both threads being live, and some of those deleted comments, oof. I am happy that at least the admins were snappy about it. It’s nice when moderation systems aren’t just automated and used to tell people to off themselves like some other places I know…
I feel like if the discussion happened on Lemmygrad it would’ve been worse ngl
Maybe. One thing I know is that even “left” men are still men. The bar is underground for me. At least Lemmygrad doesn’t have its origins in a community surrounding an edgy podcast (yes, sorry, I’m a hater). I lurked in the old r/cth days and I can’t say I’m surprised at all.
I found out recently that I was banned from the entire instance. It made my day, I can’t stand that shit humour and the same tired ancient in-“jokes”.
Really? Why’d you think that? (Honest question)
