Well I don't like it and since I'm a leftist then everything I dislike is in some way not leftist. I can't really use any actual words to describe how dunking isn't leftist, so instead I'm just gonna throw out ol' reliable and hide behind Carcosa
this is also where I'm falling on it, from where I'm sitting it feels like a case of "I don't like this, but I can't articulate why, so I'll associate it with the 'bad' things instead"
Don’t worry, the solution to that problem is obviously to make people engage in the famously non cishet white male activity of writing a debatebro dissertation on why Elon Musk saying he should coup Bolivia is bad
Lmao this is the best, I shouldn't tell you this, but if you misgender me again I win another $5 lol
We've already got the ableism, the chauvinism, the "coating in leftist rhetoric" you are so close
The mods/admins who were using the "it's cishet white guy behavior" angle never attempted to explain why they consider it to be the case. They just asserted it and stuck to it when many marginalized people were dissenting against the rule change. Your 4 paragraph comment spent more time making a good faith argument for the behavior to be white cis etc than hours worth of comments made by the offending mods.
"Cishet white guy behavior" is perfectly understandable to me as shorthand for the in-group/out-group superiority/inferiority complex that's plagued this site since the beginning, but I've been here continuously from the beginning. It's a poor signifier for users who haven't been here the whole time (whether new users or old users that left for a while) or even people with a different perspective/experience of the site.
I'll defer to you on this since I haven't been around close to as long and am not marginalized. A big issue I saw was that a lot of marginalized people caught strays for enjoying "cishet white guy behavior" and made it known that they saw it as invalidating.
would love some expansion on the whole "dunking is white cis guy vibes" thing

Yeah @Moonworm@hexbear.net put it very well in the other thread
