I like the original design better:

It’s less about being a predator and more about taking responsibility for the power the average dude can wield over women. Women are taken less seriously and have less social authority by default in comparison to men. On top of that, most men can physically overpower most women, a fact that doesn’t care about your feelings.

Even men should respect the danger other men can pose. Most murders are men killing men, so it’s not like men are safe. Be humble, understand the dangers, and have thicker skin when people tell you unpleasant truths.

Poly mfs can have a falling out with their entire unit at once and actually end up single. Apparently it isn’t a fun experience.

We could always use more One Punch Man!

Quality is made up. If no show brings you more joy, it’s the best. Most shows bring me more joy than ancient aliens, not because it’s absurd or trashy, but because I get bored easily. Thankfully, I’m not you, so I don’t matter 😃

Me! 🙋‍♀️

I was too, but most of the people that call themselves “femcels” nowadays aren’t actually the female version of incels. There have been communities of unironic female incels, like the subreddit FemaleDatingStrategy, and while some of them were just men trying to agitate, a lot were women.

They talked a lot about finding “high value males,” using very dehumanizing language that reinforces what they see as “objective” sexual roles. They were obviously transphobic and misogynistic, viewing relationships from a purely mechanical perspective. Emotional attachment didn’t matter and was a hindrance to fulfilling their “biological purpose.” 🙄

People get drawn to these ideas because they’re trying to find meaning. They want some objective authority to tell them what to do with their life, so they look to the our rudimentary understanding of evolutionary psychology and assume that it’s some perfect model for how to live. They don’t understand that not only is the science warped by a shitty culture, but nature isn’t even a good model for how to live a fulfilling life. Nature doesn’t care for our best interests, it’s just a soulless machine.

The femcel community here is a celebration of queerness, self depreciation at our “weaknesses.” Actual femcels want to conform, we don’t. We be silly, we be free :3

Tbf, the society we’ve created has kinda made things worse for everyone. Even the most competent and successful people struggle to not be miserable. The ones that are happiest did it by focusing on things the system often discourages.

TotallynotJessica, 6 days ago

That’s why I changed it to specify incels rather than straight men like it originally did.

They aren’t using enough fear politics. The entire planet should be afraid of a fascist United States. Trump will tank the global economy. Trump will be more hostile to other nations than even liberal imperialists. There is no upside.

It’s even better for accelerationists if the systemfails under liberals. If it fails under a fascist, liberals can just claim it only failed because fascists gained control.

No fucking shit genius. Ofc they’re taking advantage of the situation. That’s what the more left wing party does. However, not voting is forfeiting your choice. Unless you have a large, organized coalition who otherwise would vote, boycotts aren’t very effective. This is especially true when the worse choice is about as bad as choices can get. Unfortunately, there’s no use explaining project 2025 when your opinion isn’t based on facts.

You think I disagree with you out of ignorance, but it’s your wistful thinking creating fake options. You’re just coping with the depressing reality. You believe not voting for Biden is an option because you really want there to be another way. You need to recognize your actual situation before you can find a way out of it. Acknowledgement is not the same as saying things are good and should continue.

IS =/= OUGHT!

Yeah, the wake up call that’ll put people like me to sleep forever 🙃

Yes, and you thinking he can’t is giving American democracy too much credit. You have more faith in the system than any lib if you think that unironically.

TotallynotJessica, 6 days ago

You share the lack of perspective that most libs have. You don’t understand just how unstable our world is. You have a lack of imagination, similar to me when I was younger, mostly because my parents kept me sheltered from the world they grew up in. Growing up poor and Latino in dysfunctional households motivated them to protect me.

Unlike you, I did eventually learn how dangerous the world can be without suffering the worst of it. I read about history, learned about political science, and talked with people who actually remember how terrible the world can be. The challenges we are nearly guaranteed to face in the next decade will come as such a brutal shock to people who’ve never been in danger.

You think Trump swinging “a lot of things right” isn’t a big deal because you’re privileged as fuck, even compared to me. I grew up near your city, and there was a common sense of ignorance that I noticed. People just didn’t have the same financial concerns my family had. I always felt like an outsider in terms of class, even if the people were supposedly progressive. Get Out felt so relatable to me because I’d spent my life around out of touch liberals like you.

You’re not ill intentioned, just privileged, protected by the consequences of politics. You’re calling me hysterical because you’re a Dunning-Kruger champagne socialist. I’m not trying to play oppression Olympics, as I’m privileged too, but you don’t understand how dangerous and brutal the world is.

Not me specifically, but they want trans people eradicated, and I am indeed trans. If you aren’t aware of what they’re literally saying about us, what they’re already doing to us in red states, that’s your problem.

I’m also brown, educated, left wing, outspoken, neurodivergent, bisexual, and a woman. I’m the embodiment of everything they hate. I’m their worst nightmare. I’m an obvious target for the state violence Trump promises to carry out. I made the mistake of not taking him on his word last time, and I won’t make it again.

Everything done by the United States government before Trump was done under the liberal ideology. They’ve justified slavery and social security, the United Nations and support for military dictatorships, ethnic cleansing and the right to vote, all from valid use of that contradictory ideology. It’s filled with amazing ideas and terrible ideas that are all at war with one another.

The major problem with it for lemmy users is how much liberals support capitalism and imperialism. Both of these things are the source of most of our biggest problems, and liberals consistently fail to restrain themselves.

TotallynotJessica, 6 days ago

They used to be, but the current Republican party explicitly rejects liberalism. They don’t follow any liberal ideas, even on capitalism and free markets. They’re willing to bend any principle for power. They’re fascists.

TotallynotJessica, 6 days ago

Nah. Tankies are imperialist scum, just like liberals.

Hope makes you more likely to succeed, even if it guarantees nothing. All predictions of the future are extremely fallible, even hopeless ones. It’s no more an illusion than being a doomer who guarantees their own failure.

Last I heard lots of trans people are killing themselves. Sounds like a mental health crisis more than a political one.

As someone with formal experience in psychology and mental health, the entire mental health crisis our society faces is the result of politics. As economic inequality goes up, mental health problems go up. Workers pushed by their bosses burn out. People living paycheck to paycheck have worse mental health. Everyone has worse access to healthcare and don’t seek the help they need because they can’t afford it. Trans people kill ourselves because our problems aren’t taken seriously by close minded people like you.

You see mental problems as a personal fault rather than a collective responsibility. This is because you think people deserve what they get and have sole “responsibility” for their suffering. You act woke, but you’re more ignorant to suffering Biden. Tell your children how you voted and never deny that you let a fascist gain power. Hopefully they’ll be decent people in spite of your efforts.

TotallynotJessica, 5 days ago

Yes actually, but you think us suffering because of a profit driven healthcare system is an individual mental health problem rather than a collective political one. You wouldn’t lift a finger to help me in any way. You don’t care about my well-being, only belittling me so you can dismiss me as hysterical.

Keep on repeating your comfortable narratives about there being a better alternative to Biden. At least your vote won’t make a difference. Who knows, maybe you’ll stay home and not vote for conservative democrats at the local level?

Jimmy Page used that chord a lot when he was with Led Zeppelin ☹
