I liked it but there's two main issues IMO
-
Leans really heavily into the "If you're smart you should get to do whatever you want"
-
A complete lack of women characters which is particularly telling combined with point 1

It wasn't a rule, but it was often done as a bit
I hope you die. I hope we both die.
I understand the breakdown but the brainworms are still really present even in this comment. So I'm gonna rant a little.
The issue "hon culture" and the term "hon" in general is that it others non passing trans women.
TTTT has such a huge self hating obsession with non passing, that they elevate it and create something that doesn't really exist outside their twisted world view.
The irony is that many of them do pass, they just have a horriblly mysogynistic view of women that they directed inwardly at themselves. Cis women don't really get to chose the woman they get to be either and many if not most would fail those standards.
The term toxic positivity and hugboxing is also largely misunderstood. Everytime I've seen it it's just TTTT people complaining that they can't spread their bile, or that they didn't get the masochistic hit of self hatred. People being overly supportive is not nearly as toxic as the alternative.
I understand why you feel the way you do. I'm probably one of those toxicly positive people you are taking about, but I still feel the same kind of dysphoria and self hatred too.
But I also know I don't have to let that same hated control me or my actions. And I know I would never direct it towards or even enable it in my trans siblings.
TL;DR: no /TTTT/ is wrong about everything
"hon culture"
/TTTT/ and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race.
Do not the shork
Being able to be who you really are at work is such a huge thing. I'm really happy for you!
I'm with you and feel the same way. I think that many of them came in really hot and somewhat misdirected. I think with the chance the good will outweigh the bad.
I'm also a former /r/cth poster though too, and while I'm not a ML, I'm also not repulsed by the general flavor presented by the average poster there. That's said my impression is that the average hexbear user was more of the moretankiechapo type than the Bernie supporter type. Not a problem for me but I can see why there would be culture shock.
Either way I'm glad this is the direction Blahaj is taking if only so I can doomscroll more leftist shitposts without changing instances.
a meme community on a trans run instance isn't the place for a discussion on the specifics of why you don't want to fuck trans people.
I really wish more people got this
Based tbh
It's not official, 196 mods just mentioned blahaj zone in a sticky about Reddit alternatives before going dark. There probably won't be an"official" one coronated I wouldn't think.
They're both the same size (~350 subscribers). If you're viewing an external community on your home instance it always shows less users. (I think it's federated users shared maybe?)
Instance size doesn't really matter. If anything smaller can be better to avoid being on an overloaded instance.
That said I'm not really advocating one over the other. And with how Lemmy is set up it doesn't really matter to have some redundancy imo
Yeah there's definitely no concerted effort to strip rights from Trans people occurring across the country.
Oh wait no that's exactly what's going on: https://www.aclu.org/legislative-attacks-on-lgbtq-rights-2024
Must be nice to be so ignorant things that don't personally affect you.
