        I see a disproportionate amount of this being fueled by my trans sisters. Especially on lemmy.

        This is disappointing.

        Two wrongs do not a right make, ladies. We should be more conscious of gender because of our experience, and with that wisdom realizing isolating a gender does not help towards a goal of dismantling patriarchy.

          I point it out every time I see it because to me Lemmy is a space that is away from the current kind of rage bait you see on other platforms and it’s as you said; disappointing.

    The worst is when these people are called out, and the response is “it’s just a joke, bruh.” But only if they get called out.

    Cowards.

      I need to know. I either severely misread your username by coincidence, or you’ve operated under a similar, but far more sinister one.

        This guy is from a different instance, and the account is much newer. Considering that the other dude is still active, I think they’re different people.

        I’ve had the other dude blocked for idk how long. Saw a meme recently that mentioned that person and the one above. I think(?) they’re different people? Unclear. Don’t keep up with profiles other than maybe ThePicardManeuver and PerfectDark

      Highlighting the hypocrisy of the average “everyone should be able to be made fun of” chud, is not the same as advocating for standards.

      I’ve definitely seen a Femcel that looks a lot closer to an incel. Hates other women who sleep around and “don’t value their bodies”. Also hates how “modern protesters” are just annoying. That sort of thing.

      Femcel is a vibe, not a set of criteria and I love it for that.

      Femcelmemes gives me the impression that being sapphic is more the vague requirement than hating men though lmao

      No you don’t get it… I mean because I’m lonely, and I’m lonely because I’m mean. This means I get to call you slurs and you have to tell me I’m a good boy.

        I’ve noticed those comments seem to arrive at threads in force during the US 11am-11pm period.

        Probably coincidence.

        Okay so you’re either a bot or so chronically online I don’t have words.

        You joined less than 2 months ago and have over 2.3k comments?

        At this point I hope you’re a bot because the alternative is wild. And sure Lemmy is a far better space to spend online time in than reddit or facebook, but like… Damn.

        All this to say: if you are a real person, your comment here is textbook definition of separated from reality and stuck in dopamine loops online.

        Only when those men subscribe to and endorse a shitty worldview that causes pain to people around them. Men suffering because they’re not getting the stupid advantage that have been historically granted to them but not others? Hilarious. Men suffering because society hasn’t figured out a good blueprint for men to feel good in a positive and healthy way? Less hilarious

          Historically, the vast, vast majority of men, and of women, haven’t been granted any sort of advantage. Almost everyone was just as deeply in the shit as everyone else.

            Idk, I try real hard to remind others that Tanner, the Night Shift manager at the Circle K, is NOT the reason women are oppressed, and making him feel like he’s the reason does nothing to support our equality cause.

            We genuinely do have to support men having space to air their issues with society/the world, and let them know that they’re heard/understood.

            The patriarchy hurts everyone, including the dude who is told to swallow his feelings/frustrations and he is only allowed to be interested in sex/woodworking/hunting to be a “real man” and “accepted” by his bros.

            So like, maybe we could not laugh at men’s struggles and still support ladies?

            Edit: Changed “head” to “heard”

              I’m not saying he deserves to suffer; I’m saying it’s funny when he does.

              I take their issues seriously. As seriously as I take anything. I just also find their pain funny.

              The patriarchy does hurt everyone, and its even funnier when it hurts men! The patriarchy is like cops: it can’t do good things, but it can do funny things. One could even say the intrinsic humor in mens’ suffering is a privilege in the traditionally male dominated field of slapstick.

              I can help you up even if I laugh when you fall. I might, even! If it was bad enough for you to not hit on me after!

              I keep seeing people acting like humor is a moral hierarchal and value judgment, and that just makes me think you’re deeply unfun unfunny and vile fucking people I sincerely hope to never meet.

    Replacing the right character with a caricature of a conservative or MAGA and this could be very funny, but implying all men like this is a little hurtful :'(

    Most of the people in forums like this are straight white guys. Of course we feel attacked, especially when we’re not accustomed to it. Did anyone expect a different reaction?

        It’s bigoted shit from 4chan, that’s origins are it being used to mock “low intelligence” or those with mental disabilities.

          But those people the comics refer to are mentally disabled. Just look at the shit they are spewing.

          That 4Chan have culturally appropriated them is their fault.

            4Chan invented them.

            And don’t insult people with mental disabilities by comparing them to shit people.

              4Chan didn’t invent Wojaks, they first appeared on Sad and Useless then reddit before becoming suffused through the rest of the internet

              https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wojak

              I agree that ableist wojaks exist, and that almost any meme can be weaponised to be such, but the specific ones used in the OP do not represent any real disability and is not meant to discriminate against anyone with any, but to showcase the opinions stated as ‘brainless’

      I think it’s a bit overboard to say a caricature of someone with a crescent-moon-shaped head is a representative of a real group of people.

      Is the one with a tricycle for a brain ableist too?

      FWIW I would completely agree if they were drawn to look like they had downs syndrome or some other visual identifier of real people.

          You’re the one claiming its ableist, but you want others to ‘look it up’ to research potentials for why you think it’s ableist?

          That ain’t gonna win anyone over to your position.
