The recent "misandry" posts/comments were like flypaper, weren't they? (hexbear.net)

I haven't seen this kind of scratched liberalism since the outrage against account pronoun preferences years back.

Maybe "struggle session" is the wrong term because there's a clear and obvious side for comrades and another for scratched liberals.

Maybe Hexbear needs occasional flypaper sessions for the community's health.

    Please read the thread, especially AcidSmileys top comment. This isn't a 'haha hexbear turns anything into a struggle sesh' struggle but a struggle session in the legitimate sense of okay, a significant portion of the user base should reflect and self crit. Afaict the mods didn't intend for it to be first and foremost a flashpoint for people to tell on themselves but that's how it's ended up

    oh yeah, i dont mean that it wasnt serious. i just mean that the whole post smelled, so i didnt dive into it. i dont even remember the sequence of events. was the post about misandry the one that was like "reverse racism", or was that the reaction to a post i didnt even see?

    Ah k. I don't know the sequence either cos of timezone weirdness. I think the mod post us in response to a number of posts in recent months that have been either misogynistic or the comment section has devolved into misogyny, which may or may not include the misandry kne you're talking about (many example posts are discussed at length in the mod thread, I won't re-link here). The mod post about coming down harder on that behaviour is a response to that. Maybe nkt for yourself then but for the players at home this isnt antelope-popcorn please read the post
