lemmy stop silencing SA survivors rule
  • I wanna know why nobody is standing up for the bears. Just because some bears attack people in the woods doesn't mean they all will.

    Most bears aren't aggressive and wouldn't actually attack anybody unless provoked. I mean, I get it. Maybe only 10% of bears would get agro for no reason. But how am I supposed to know if this one is one of those 10%?

    We need to have a discussion about how the good bears are becoming disenfranchised by being lumped in with a very small minority of bears that would go out of their way to harm you for no reason. #NotAllBears

    Please, for the love of God, VOTE!
  • Wow how edgy. I don't like either candidate so I'll protest-stay-home. As if not voting is a form of protest.

    Actually I'm legitimately curious. Where did that idea come from? Where did you get the idea that voting = endorsement.

    If you were stranded in the wilderness and your options were to eat bug1 or bug2, would you choose to starve to death because "well, I just don't want people to think that I enjoy eating cockroach". Get over yourself and your childish mindset. Choosing not to participate is still making a choice.

    Maybe when the maga fanatics come for your lgbt+ friends and family you'll think differently. Or maybe not. I don't know you or how comfortable you are with the maga end-game.

  • The point is that this was an informative post about something I don't like. So why would I downvote it?

    Think of it like this. If there was a massive tsunami somewhere and somebody posted a link to a solid news report on it, up voting it is saying "thanks for the news" NOT "I am pro-tsunami".

    Male vs female gaze rule
  • (as perceived by men)

    I think this is the point. It's that both men and women are drawn in a way that attempts to appeal to men and less so what appeals to women (this is what men think ideal-woman looks like. This is what men think ideal-man looks like). This causes side-effects, galore.
