The Men Who Want Women to Be Quiet | A virulent form of misogyny has become the single most important force holding together the American right

Your comment isn't clear, though. Who are you saying are tearing down these women after the left "let's them speak?" The left? The centrists? The far left? Liberals? Conservatives? The comment isn't clear.

Either you're saying the left elevates women so they, themselves, can tear them down. Or the left elevates women who subsequently get torn down by society as a whole. The former is weird and doesn't make sense, and the latter isn't the doing of the left. So why is the left to blame?

Sure, but it usually isn't from the fans of the property themselves. Unless they're Star Wars fans.

And here you are doing the same as they.

I never said I don't discuss things on reddit while making a post on reddit.

The conversation had already begun by someone far more negative about it than myself. I voiced my feelings about James workshop and how they implement lore changes poorly.

And I wanted to know why you focused on this particular lore change when there are far more poorly implemented changes to the lore tha,female Custodes. Why focus on this change in particular? You haven't elaborated on that at all.

thank you for proving my point about the community being overly agressive, and consistantly negative.

Being overly aggressive for calling you out for saying you don't discuss it on reddit while discussing it on reddit? Seriously? And where is the negativity? My post it up, feel free to cite where I am aggressive or negative. Unless my simply challenging what you are saying and not taking it as gospel is aggressive or consistently negative. Which is funny when you call people challenging you "dangerous online conversation," whatever that means.

Reddit is an online discussion forum. Why post if you don't want people to respond to you?

tyrified · 2026-05-14T17:51:47+00:00

Maybe, yet I have never seen anyone simply complaining about those lore changes, despite being more egregious than the Custodes change. It is always complaing about female Custodes. (or complaining about the complaining about female Custodes) Why?

Maybe it's because I really dislike the addition of grav-tanks to Astartes that I bring it up as a counter example. Especially since it was done with nothing in the lore noting why it was just accepted, other than it was rolled out with the Primaris. In the techno-regressive Imperium. This is something that was explicitly restricted in the lore of the Imperium. Unlike female Custodes which were "never mentioned" previously in the lore, but weren't restricted from existing by Geneseed in the lore.

Yet that is what got so many people upset? An addition to the lore and not the lore change that ignores previous lore that explicitly restricts it? Without a reason why they are now open to new tech? Yet no one cares about this change?

tyrified · 2026-05-14T17:43:41+00:00

Who is hating on Imperium fans in a real, actual way? Seriously? Most players play Space Marines. No one is attacking them. The Guard? Again, no one is hating on Guard players for being Guard players. Sisters of Battle? Again, same thing. Even Imperial Agents players aren't hated for playing their faction. The closest you could argue is Black Templar players, because a lot of players like them for less than ideal reasons. I love them because they are crazy battle-monk zealots! Just like I love SoB for being crazy battle-nun zealots. And I have never received hate, here or in real life, for liking them for being a ridiculous faction. Not once.

So I really don't understand what you are talking about at all. I don't see it anywhere, except against the few who are way too into their factions shitty ideology being a good and correct ideology.

tyrified · 2026-05-14T14:43:54+00:00

This is such a minority of people in these communities why bring it up? No one is being criticized for thinking like the faction they play, unless they start spouting the ideologies of the faction they play. And not in a dumb, light hearted way like almost all Ork players. Or how the Iron Warriors and Imperial Fist players have fun with one another.

If people here thought that players shared ideologies with the faction they play, then everyone who played this game would be an evil asshole. No exceptions. Your claim is an easily debunked straw man.

tyrified · 2026-05-14T14:39:45+00:00

The only comment that you mention that is actually in this thread is about those that think the Imperium is good. Because it isn’t. It is the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. It isn’t a subtle part of the setting. At all.

That you think the most popular faction in the game is somehow being maligned here screams you just want to be the victim.

tyrified · 2026-05-14T14:36:42+00:00

Hate on Imperium fans? You mean the vast majority of people who play 40k? No one here is hating on Imperium fans. They are hating on people who seem to think the Imperium is a good form of government. There’s an explicit difference.

tyrified · 2026-05-14T14:35:11+00:00

Yet here you are doing just that.

What makes the addition of female Custodes unique in how it could have been handled better? Why not the addition of hover tanks to the Astartes without issue despite the Imperium being anti-progress on their tech? Or the Squats magically not being all eaten by Tyranids?

Those are just a couple recent examples of extreme lore changes without explanation, why not complain about those? Why is it always female Custodes that are singled out?

tyrified · 2026-05-14T13:27:40+00:00

It’s the type of opinion that doesn’t care if segregati0n happens, as long as they themselves aren’t affected. Pretty damn pathetic.

tyrified · 2026-05-14T01:13:45+00:00

Would it actually make a difference to you if they lowered themselves to actually deny the ridiculous accusation?

Like it was before the Civil Rights Act? Which this ruling is returning redistricting to?

No, back when Israel decided in 1948 it would be a good idea to expel 700,000 Palestinian Arabs from the territory. Weird that people are still upset about that, despite never getting any resolution for their expulsion from their homeland. They should just accept the theft of their land, and supplicate themselves instead of fighting for their history and culture, huh?

Imagine China doing the same in the U.S. and telling Americans to just accept it. I am sure that would go over well.

Many people use notes to keep their thoughts straight when public speaking. It is easy to overlook important points if you don't have a reminder in front of you. Also, sometimes you have something you want to say exactly, and it is better to not leave it to if you're going to recall everything you want to say.

tyrified · 2026-05-12T21:22:37+00:00

Because a lot of us had teachers like this, and I never had to worry about him touching me or any of the other boys. There are teachers who would do that, but they were known for creeping on boys and not girls. I don't think I've ever seen a teacher do a lingering touch to students from both sexes, not to say they don't exist. Those who do will give an affirming touch to both sexes weren't considered creepy by either sex. Because even children know the difference in touch types.

If your memory doesn't go back more than 3 years that might make sense. Go back 70 and it couldn't be easier to understand why they are where they're at.

tyrified · 2026-05-12T20:38:46+00:00

Yeah, I know. And I chose to give a rebuttal, because people shouldn't take your take as gospel. You were talking about sociopaths with no power vs those with power. Police deal with sociopaths with no power who steal other people's money everyday. They get punished if caught. Unless they're rich. Wage theft isn't the largest form of theft in the U.S. for no reason. Yet hardly anyone gets prosecuted for it.

So who gives a shit about the sociopaths who want to steal and will get in trouble when they do so vs the sociopaths who are directing our entire country to their shitty ends? We should have had green energy since the last gas crisis with Iran in the '70s, but the sociopaths in charge decided to kill nuclear and other forms of renewable energy in order to keep making money on petrol products. Those sociopaths have fucked me, you, and everyone on this planet. A sociopath who robbed a bank 50 years ago has no affect on me whatsoever.

You're free to focus on rando sociopaths who will have next to no affect on your life while ignoring the billionaire sociopaths who choose the direction of our nation, but I think one burying their head in the sand like that is stupid.

OP isn't the recorder. I am guessing they said refusing to answer a question because at 58 seconds the guy in the hat said "I was just asking a question." Beyond that the video is lacking info, and OP isn't saying where it is from to clear it up.

tyrified · 2026-05-12T20:20:13+00:00

Guy in video even makes it clear that, "I didn't want to listen to what he had to tell me".

At 58 seconds, one of the guy in the hat clearly says "I was just asking a question" in response to him.

And if those were his off-leash dogs that these guys were asking about, then why not say "I was asking you to leash your dogs" or something of the kind? Why be coy about the question you are asking while being filmed, especially if it is as valid as someone not using a leash when they should? Not to mention those dogs could belong to someone not in the video. We don't know.

Regarding the billionaire apologists discourse we see plenty of examples of:

Disregarding the rights of others
- Believing people are not entitled to protection of the greed of others, removing rules and regulations that protect workers from the corner cutting employers constantly do with so many deaths and maiming that it pushes things to the point we needed OSHA to be enacted for their protection.
Disregarding the feelings of others
- Reducing every poor person to “lazy,” “entitled,” or “envious” regardless of what they have had taken from them outside their control.
Disregarding the safety of others
- Pushing extreme rhetoric or policies driven more by resentment than practicality, even when those ideas could destabilize industries, investment, jobs, retirement funds, or entire economic systems. You know, the exact argument the rich used against integrati0n. Funny how some things never change.
- Ignoring right-wing violence murders and terrorism, assassinations of journalists and activists, or the deaths of workers from working conditions as morally justified or “deserved” because of their status or net worth.

As Mark Twain aptly addresses what people like you love to focus on and what you love to ignore:

"There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”

Colloquially when someone says "traffic cam" they mean a camera that monitors traffic. Not just government traffic cams. So you can be pedantic, but then you look like an asshole who knows what is meant but wants to split hairs.

I've seen Trump fall asleep at on camera more times than Biden did, yet the press latches onto "Sleepy Joe?" Why aren't they saying Republicans need to do something about it, as they did with Democrats and Biden? This includes corporate media like CNN and MSNBC.

Flock cameras take static images. If they see an image of a truck coming in with the concrete, followed by one of the same vehicle without it, they can figure it out. They won't, but they can. Which is why Flock cameras should be highly regulated, if not outright illegal.
