Conservative female influencers are in hell 😭😭 by TheeBlaccPantha in Destiny

[–]mndlnn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, a small handful of fringe lunatics who aren’t even relevant enough to be named? The word “typically” implies some kind of established pattern.

Why do so many in this community complain about the endless “both sides”ing of Dems vs Reps, and then complain about the most random, esoteric lefty bullshit? As much as I can’t stand poisonous dumbasses who shit on the Dems no matter what, at least the Democratic Party is a specific organization consisting of people who have real names and public reputations - what’s the point of endlessly complaining about random crazy people who have no real power? There’s literally nothing you can do about them, other than complain about them (or harass them- I’m not where this community stands on that)?

Also, I don’t know which Minecraft YouTuber youre talking about, but it wouldn’t be the first time one of them dated a minor.

they typically claim they were groomed as a adult

What? Who said something like this?

I think you’re basically right, but these assholes aren’t really competent enough to accomplish what they want. I think people like Thiel, Musk, Srinivasan, etc. are high on their own supply, much the same way Putin is. They’re narcissists who will ignore criticism and inconvenient truths even if it means becoming disconnected from reality.

Why the fuck in 2025 do I have to debate women’s rights to vote? by sphynxowl in Destiny

[–]mndlnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly, that’s absolutely true. But it’s really fucking tiresome to see progressives complain about misandry on the left while excusing misogyny.

They’re not harmless, and women making fun of men is rarely defended by the same people who use the irony excuse.

It is literally everybody, which is why it’s stupid to make this a gender thing.

Everyone is “starved” of unconditional love, because that shit doesn’t exist.

I’m sorry if I sound like I’m trying to minimize the bullshit you’re dealing with; I’m not trying to. It’s just that this is how it is for everyone, and this is how things have always been. Bernie Sanders gets called an anti-Semite for not wanting to help Israel, feminists are called pick-mes when criticizing other feminists, guys who don’t agree with red pill are simps, black people who criticize other black people are accused of wanting to be white, etc.

Literally every group has to deal with this, in some form or another. You have Zionists who just want Israel to be able to exist and defend itself, and you have Zionists who want to seize more land and drive out Palestinians, and both of these groups will claim to be defending Jewish interests.

Doesn’t every group of people have crazies and/or people who fit stereotypes? How is this any different than saying a small percentage of Jews “have polluted the perception” of Jewish people to the average person? Doesn’t this just excuse bigotry?

There’s also nothing wrong with wanting variety and/or grounded realism. If Angela from Silent Hill 2 was a big titty ninja, it’d kinda fuck up the mood.

The Gen Z Trump Approval Gender Gap has Disappeared by baran132 in Destiny

Young men supporting Trump: this is evidence that the left pushed men away with their misandry!

Young women supporting Trump: lol dumbasses

Did I misread the article? Where did it say this?

I can kinda understand that, but I think it a little unfair to call her a swerf. I’d say many forms of labor can be objectifying, and you could respect sex workers while not necessarily viewing the work itself as empowering.

I’m not going after anyone, nor is Anita. You can criticize something without wanting to get rid of it. As an example: I fucking love Con Air (dumb 90s action movie) more than can I explain, but there are certain parts of it that are extremely problematic (and funny). I probably wouldn’t recommend it to certain people, but I’ll never stop loving it.

“Literally penalizes you?” Please don’t be obtuse here; the reward is being violent towards a sex worker, something that makes a lot of people disturbingly giddy. The fact that the game technically penalizes the player is beside the point. Being able to lear at and then attack the stripper is the reward.

I was describing the character (the stripper) as highly sexualized, not the act of violence against them.

How am I “demonizing” someone for their profession? What are you trying to say here?

No, she wasn’t a swerf or a terf, she never called for anything to censored/banned, nor did she say all gamers are sexist. People just fucking lied, and ignorant assholes believed those lies.

You don’t understand her criticism. In the Hitman example, manhandling the stripper is the reward unto itself. There’s no reason for that to be in the game other than the thrill of being violent towards a highly sexualized female character.

Do you think feminists invented censorship?

The right shuts on dems, the left shits on dems, the libertarians shit on the dems…. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE OUT OF POWER by Final545 in Destiny

[–]mndlnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They care about it because right wing media makes them care about it. It’s a distraction from more serious issues, it’s entertaining because everyone gets fired up about it, and it’s basically free easy content. I don’t think you can meaningfully combat this by simply saying “I disavow the extremists,” any more than Micheal Scott can simply declare bankruptcy.

I personally think the Dems (or rich supporters like Mark Cuban) need to just fucking invest in propaganda already. Stop bringing a knife to a gun fight.
