Hexbear's fourth grade teacher, taking the class on adventures and defeating misogyny, racism, and misanthropy.
Frank absolutely nailed it, some really solid and well-stated analysis.
This is also a really good example of the concerns we have with dunk content here on the site. Like you said, ragebait and dehumanizing discourse but here wrapped in vague leftism and a ton of irony poisoning.
Once again, Betteridge's Law applies.
Is /r/fuckyouzoomer emerging as a sort of new semi-feminist shitredditsays?
This is absolutely not feminist content.
There's an overwhelmingly ageist bent, and even the non-feminist criticism of men is viewed primarily through the bent that misogyny is a problem specific to zoomers.
Again, the criticism here isn't a feminist one, the Redditors there are insulting men for not being masculine and patriarchal correctly. Also, there is absolutely no learning or actual feminist analysis being applied to any of it. It's just reactionaries shitting on a different group of reactionaries for being the wrong kind of reactionary.
Let me put this as simply as possible: Women ragging on men is not inherently feminism, analysis through an informed and explicitly feminist lens is required.
Waow, no way, the right wing propaganda outlet doing cover for a justifiably criticized right wing media personality by demanding that his critics be silenced has failed to provide the full context? Say it isn't so!
People keep asking for account verification on here, but so far none of them have come to my house to get verified!
If anyone wants to get verified, come visit me. My address is 1000 Colonial Farm Road, Langley, VA.
Thanks!
Hey, could you remove the tracking tag from your YouTube link? Just remove everything after the question mark. The tracking tag is the part that starts with "si="
Thanks!

Why would they go to Hunan, when Chengdu is right here?
Anyone who edits a post or comment should be investigated for revisionism.
Edit: oh no
As part of Hexbear's Code of Conduct, we prohibit the use of colonialism which is always harmful and abusive in all contexts. In line with that approach, starting today, failure to use the term "Zionist" to attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their support for genocide is against our rules. We recognize that "Zionist" and "Zionism" also refer to a political movement. Using the term to refer to the movement in a positive way violates our Code of Conduct.
(This isn't a real announcement, but fuck twitch and fuck isntrael. Never again means never again.)
Paul Reitter's recent translation is really good! I think it's a much more approachable translation for modern readers, and it's the only translation in English that's based on that last (4th) German edition of the book.
Having said that, my personal copy of Capital is from 1906 with some beautifully penciled marginalia from the comrade who originally owned it, and I can't bring myself to replace it or justify buying yet another copy just to loan out or reference corrections that were already penciled in to my copy in the margins.
The whole class has been ignoring the homework? It was all in the syllabus, and I kept reminding you to do the reading!
You all know the final isn't being graded on a curve, right? It's covering all of the material from the whole year.
Hey, please put a CW on jokes about this. Thanks!
Please put a CW on this.
I don't think "femme people" is a good descriptor. I'm a butch lesbian, does that mean I don't experience misogyny? Fem people might be better.
But there are plenty of victims of misogyny who still wouldn't be covered by that. Transmasc people, enbies who don't identify as fem, and masc-aligned people are all groups who are affected by misogyny but wouldn't be described as either femme or fem.
Hey, you've got it almost exactly! My goals in supporting the name gossip were to reclaim the term and to help offer a little push to users who need to self-crit on their discomfort with gossiping.
I'm not sure that gossiping should continue to be stereotyped as feminine. Everyone gossips. We were all already doing it in the tanks!
Yes! Please continue to dunk on people in c/gossip. These two words describe the same activities!
I think a good way of describing the vibe shift in terms of toxicity, meanness, and misanthropy is that Reddit is a 10/10 on the scale of Bad Vibes, but we've got things at about a 6/10 over here.
It's gonna feel bad for everyone immersed in dunking here to look at everything cranked all the way up in comparison, but a frog looking in from outside our 6/10 boiling pot is still gonna see our site culture as toxic, mean, and misanthropic.
