    I'm starting to see misogyny around the site and it's starting to concern me. Just seems casual and here and there, but it's getting upvoted, which concerns the hell out of me.

    Ayo @SnowySkyes@hexbear.net real? I'd only seen a couple scuffed comments on some of the "woke booba" posts, dang. We hate to see it.

      There’s been a few that I’ve been able to sus out and had to report most of them. Fortunately they’ve all been removed. Some are “ironic” misogyny which isn’t funny, others are just misogyny, which is less funny. Specifically that one dating post was a minefield. The first thing I saw was the op pissing on polyam folks. That pissed me off. But there were a few in there that had me wanting to retch.

        That dating post killed me, soon as I saw "cishet man zone" I was like oh boy... Glad now that I skipped it after reading the OP. Did you know that polyam people ackshually have it easy & are eating the dating market alive?????

          That shit pissed me off so much. It was just a toxic, thoughtless thread of poison that I’m surprised didn’t get wholly removed. The one post that really bothered me was some dude saying that western women were broken. That really just screams to me sexpat and misogynist. Piece of garbage.

            cringe

            I had noticed an uptick in dudes making dating posts, but I hadn't paid very close attention cause I was like Eh, let em vent in the general mega I guess? But sometimes it did seem a bit yikes, and if it's gonna lead to things like that thread...

              It should be reigned in in some way in my eyes, but I am not a site admin so I have no power over that. Like, I don’t mind dating posts, but these folks gotta stop getting weird over it.
