A bit late - Blåhaj Lemmy

“b-but bears are actually dangerous!” Shut the hell up.

I have some extra emotional capacity today so I’ll post some wrong think, but can we stop antagonizing populations that feel disenfranchised by society and therefor giving the truly evil fucks out there and easy population to brainwash and feed extra scummy ideologies to? Young nerdy men who feel excluded from society that dont have any strong female figures in their life are barraged by a constant stream of messaging that could easily be interpreted as “(white) men are evil and the source of all problems with society”, and by constantly antagonizing them for not being able to navigate the political nuance of those messages, we give an incredibly easy pathway to the more toxic ideologies that the Tates of the world will pull them into to profit off of them, because they are the only figures who will give them praise and a sense of belonging.

The problem with your logic is it creates a situation where society at large will never talk about this important topic and think about ways to reduce the scope and impact of it.

The sad reality is that men are largely responsible for SA, and saying this is always going to make some men uncomfortable. They’re always going to react to negatively, and people are always going to post what you posted.
