So yesterday or the day before idk I stole a meme from Twitter that I thought was cool because it talked about giving guns to natives to defend themselves from settlers, and posted it here. The thing I had completely ignored was that the first upper half of the meme was basically: "girls with atime machine: [do something boring like visiting their relatives because they're girls]". I obviously should have known better than just post this meme, as it brought up gender in a totally unnecessary and misogynistic way. I realize now that calling it out does not make up for posting it in the first place, hence why I would like to apologize for making people feel unsafe on this platform. I get that life can get really extra shitty when you're not a man and such kind of stupid memes really don't help. Making women, or any part of this community feel uncomfortable on this website was never my intention but I guess as a man, which means the attack wasn't directed at me specifically, I was just able to ignore the sexist part of the meme.
I sure as fuck should have known better and I'm sorry. As of right now I've deleted the post and the best I can do is prolly promise I won't reiterate that bullshit again. I know it's certainly not my place to lecture people but if you're a man and you see that kind of shit being posted please downvote it; the reason I'm saying this is, the person who posted the comment that led me to take down the post and apologize said they were mad at me, but even more so at the people who upvoted it, even tho the responsibility falls on me first, of course. I think saying this is the very least I can do to undo the wrongs I did.
Once again, I'm sorry. I will now proceed to log off. Everyone have fun on this dope ass website!
Reposting a meme where some girls visit their relatives is not misogyny, get a grip
Reread the post and look at what he's apologizing for. Not everything as insanely sensitive as you is stupidpol.
The defining characteristic of chapo was that it didn't do dumbass shit like this while still being left.
A self-crit, coming out of a struggle session? We really are Mao-ing it up.
Can’t wait for a protracted people’s war against Reddit.
Yes, Mao is famous for crying profusely for posting memes that offend no one.
It's fine man, you acknowledged what was wrong, you don't have to go into exile or anything.
Am I crazy or did he do nothing relatively close to wrong?
You are completely missing the "left" part of "dirtbag left", as in, the part where we reject "traditional" gender norms and sexism.
god this lib is so triggered
oh noes, they're taking away muh sexism!!
So is the Camp named after Cenk? Does he run it? Is he in it?
Comrade gets to the top of hot and is sad for getting canceled. Welcome to the online left.
This is why when China succeeds, ALL westerners get put into the Matrix
It's a dumb template and it's true what you said to an extend but you're overthinking it. So, don't worry.
Red Scare Pod anti-thesis: Yes, using your time machine to visit gran is good and promotes self determination. More people should seek their own answers in this crazy world. Using the time machine to alter the course of history is a terrible idea and subscribes to the "Great Man Theory". Giving any nation modern technology is not going to suddenly end imperialism, so men are actually the idiots.
Don't log off, you nerd, no one is immune to this shit. Come back already. But thank you for apologizing.
Mad props for apologizing. I know you didn't have bad intentions, even if the meme carried some bad vibes you didn't initially identify. We're all learning here, so, really, kudos for acknowledging that, comrade :af-heart:
I'm reading the thread with people actually praising him for this and I feel like I'm tripping
