Yea it always catches me off-guard that Lemmy is so aggressively progressive on pretty much all fronts but still seems to fall for this type of stuff. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am disappointed
I hate seeing gender rage content, just today on Reddit one of the most upvoted posts was titled “men will eat all your food” (not verbatim) in which the poster said “if you pay for groceries evenly and share with a man you are subsidizing his calories (because they eat more)” also not verbatim
this is such a majorly fucked up view that I can’t even get started, my gf and I cook for each other and never once think about how the food is being split, we talk about what it tastes and how we can improve it and other dishes we can try
imo the majority of this content is some kind of psyop, I refuse to believe people are so bitter
I’ve seen almost no difference in attitudes about gender and sexual insecurity in Lemmy as Reddit broadly, people here will scream about socialism and the environment, but the moment someone says “Men have silly habits about this thing” suddenly the leering face of Andrew Tate appears like an apparition in your monitor and the screen turns red and everyone suddenly has a story about how girls are mean.
Also, a lot of the bots and astroturfers who are literally paid to amplify and distort arguments actually are allowed to run with far more freedom on these backwater, leftist sites because people here think it’s a “sheltered” and isolated community, and the traffic here is slower so moderation is less active.
I agree with your entire post, but especially the second paragraph.
Every time stupid shit like this begins to pop up more frequently, there’s something like an election or an Epstein ruling that is about to show up.
Ah gender bait, haven’t seen gender bait around these parts in like… 10 minutes?

People here like to think theyre very progressive… but theres a heck of a lot of misogyny, transphobia and homophobia tbh.
