If someone isn't going to read a book of feminist theory because 100 pages is too much, they sure as shit are not going to put the effort in examining why they've never had a relationship lmao. Incels require serious de-programing that will involve separating them from other incels and incel communities.

Having better memes isn't going to deter them from hating women. Leftists already have more substantiated content (Star Trek is an obvious example). The Joe Rogan pipeline exists because they seek out ways to reaffirm their shitty views. They peddle shitty right-wing memes because they seek those out, too.

I think a lot of people are overly optimistic about how much can be done with white settlers. Not to be all doomer, but I don't have much faith in places like the US where incels exist to do anything other than fascism once push comes to shove.

Edit: went and had a look at the modlog. JFC Hexbear, no, we do not need to cater to the incels lmao

yeah it was bad, but there has been a lurking handful of "we must cater to incel users" for a while now. one of them basically sexually harassed me and everything before i was a mod and nothing was done about it until that fate full day that set off the great white chauvinist purge from Hexbear about a year ago.

Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Why is the title different?

We like to have fun here.

What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.

What are the basic rules of the community?

Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.
This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.
Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m'kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.
No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn't the "one true leftism". Take that to another place.
Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is "not real" and that if you only thought like them you'd see what your "real" identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.

FAQ

I don't look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don't know if I can post here. Can I?

This place is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This includes those of mixed heritage and those who may be "white" but are of an ethnicity that is a minority in their area (i.e. Kurds, etc) If you've experienced oppression due to your identity that is not based on sexual / gender identification, you are welcome here.
Moreover, for our American audience, we have people from around the world who are "white" but are oppressed due to being a minority in their country. They are and should be welcomed here.

What can I post?

Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.
