Trigger warning on this. Can't get the spoiler thing to work at all.
Definitely not imagining it.
Since I first joined I went from having nice conversations with strangers about the weirdest things, never having a single negative interaction, to nowadays saying I think women deserve a baseline level of respect and being told I should die giving birth to a rapists baby.
To be fair, the dude who said that did get banned from the instance I'm on for that, but it happening in the first place would have been unthinkable to me a few months ago.
agreed there is a definite influx of misogynistic incels lately. Feel like Iβm spelling out how women are human beings a lot more than I ever had to here before. Conversations are more on the de-evolutionary side.
There's no need to debate misogynists here. Downvote and report them and we'll ban as soon as we can.
This. Most of those guys probably got banned on reddit and drifted here and they'll do the same after getting banned here. No point in wasting brain cells arguing with people who can't think for themselves about right and wrong.
