Any pictures of food containing animal products, including but not limited to meat, cheese, or egg, must be tagged nsfw along with food discussion content warnings (CW: Food).
Animal Liberation is essential to any leftist movement, including platforms like Hexbear. Volunteers, comments, and posts, should not be anti-vegan, although users and volunteers are not required to be vegan.
Trumps campaign got off the ground from internet memes and satire groups on places like 4chan and reddit. There’s so many idiots out there looking for something to grasp onto and make their identity. You can’t get a satire/parody group too large or it breaths life of it’s own.
Poes law: without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
That’s generally how human brains work. We’re capable of switching empathy on and off, allowing us to both hunt and love animals, protect our group and fight the others, be careful not to hurt others and perform surgery… People are paradoxical creatures.
Maybe we should be putting people into cages and harvest and sell their organs… I mean why not ? It’s not like humans are different from animals ¯_ (ツ) _/¯
It appears to be a rule against posting food made from animal products. As someone who doesn’t eat animal products myself, I don’t particularly enjoy scrolling Reddit or Lemmy and seeing a picture of a meat dish, but it doesn’t ruin my day I would never dream of demanding a content warning for it.
To my knowledge CWs are geared towards content that has the potential to trigger past trauma, and I can’t understand how a food category could be so broadly traumatic to someone (outside of EDs I guess, which is obviously not the focus of this rule).
I suspect it’s less of a trigger warning, and more of a means to reframe perceptions of food.
Like, if TV commercials just started putting little “viewers may find the following depictions of dead animals disturbing” stingers before a commercial of a family eating steaks, it might change perceptions over time.
Homelander drinking a consenting woman’s breast milk is disturbing and helps convince viewers he’s a creep. Yet if he were to enjoy a nice glass of refreshing cow breast milk, that would be completely normal. Why? Because our society has made a very deliberate choice not to consider there being anything wrong with milking a cow.
Hexbear simply does not participate in that choice. On Hexbear, there is something disturbing about milking a cow, and that’s because the admins want you to be disturbed by it. That has always been the default state of things.
The gif that’s typically shared is after he’s murdered her, and finds some in her office fridge. I wouldn’t hold it up as a textbook definition of consent.
We are a platform that welcomes anyone who wants to be here in good faith. With that said, we are also an intentionally leftist platform; conservative and reactionary ideologies will not be tolerated here.
They live in an idolgical bubble where contrary opinions are not tolerated, and dissent is shunned. The only voices they hear are leftist and extreme leftist voices shifting the Overton window of politics in their minds leading to radical beliefs.
It’s important to have your beliefs challenged at times, they lack that. If you can try and listen to voices from opposing view points, maybe even share your own in a respectful manner.
(This isn’t an issue particular to any side of politics, it also occurs in more right wing groups)
They’re trolls. Is most of the world supporting XYZ? We are suddenly against XYZ for reasons! Is someone giving actual real life reasons to support XYZ? We have to reply with emojis!
They’re very gang oriented. Once one of them declares an opinion the rest of them must follow it and defend it no matter what.
Two years ago I told a 16 year old to stop being friends with the person who raped my wife. Raddle believes it is child abuse to tell teens not to hang out with rapists. That’s because the head admin is a rape apologist.
Going by spelling and phrase choices, I’d say the majority of them are youngish Americans who’re still naive enough to believe extreme left-wing/anarcho political systems aren’t just as controlling of the populace as the political systems they despise. Either that or they crave big state control systems because the feel a lack of control in their own lives and want a political daddy to make the decisions for them.
I mean, it’s unverifiable and unenforceable. Personally, I wouldn’t sign up for anything that requires identifying myself like that. I can just look at someone’s comment history to see if they’re strongly pro or anti tolerance. As it stands, this has as much value as as North Korea calling themselves democratic.
The point is not to make you reveal your gender, but to make you explicitly choose a gender, thus normalising the idea that gender should not be assumed. Transphobes will object to this and get banned. At least, that’s the theory.
Just make a rule that transphobes and other bigots will be banned like everyone else.
And how do the mods find the transphobes to ban them? They’ll have to wait for an argument to happen and someone to complain about it. Waste of everyone’s time. This way transphobes will get triggered when they try to sign up, throw a tantrum, and get banned. That’s the plan; I have no idea whether it works in practice.
argument to happen and someone to complain about it.
Yes, that’s how moderation works.
This way transphobes will get triggered
I don’t think as many transphobes have a problem with identifying as their birth gender as you think. Also does nothing you stop the bad actors and concern trolling. Might as well have “Black Gay Man” as an option.
Fair. I don’t know how well it works on that instance. I see it as schmuk bait - someone who throws a tantrum over it is not someone you want to let in.
“Any” is probably fine. It tends to be my choice. That said, you’re better off just not using Hexbear. Ya know, unless you’re chill with things like genocide.
I’m talking about qyron right now, qyron won’t supply us with qyrons chosen pronoun and now I have to say qyron every damn time instead of a nice short common pronoun.
Qyron is making things unnecessarily difficult and shitty. Don’t be like qyron.
I have to add this here because you just wrote a gold opportunity for me to mock myself. Can we have signatures in Lemmy? I would make the following as mine. Perhaps a little reviewed for shorter form.
Here is qyron, the most obnoxious example of a person you can find, to the point where making anything and everything harder than necessary becomes a self defining characteristic.
This is an individual that takes pride and pleasure of torturing others just to make a moot point on any front.
Don’t be like this personality. Nobody deserves to be like so.
Reminds me of a woman i know. She That woman could totally have written this. Basically, our conversation after months is still me trying to learn her that womans language. :-D
Sabes, estou aborrecido desta troca inútil de palavras vazias de significado. E boa sorte para conseguires que um tradutor te consiga traduzir isto correctamente. Porque se o fizer, vais perceber que estive este tempo todo a falar sem fazer uso dos tão preciosos pronomes que parecem ser sacrossantos para guerreiros da justiça social na net.
Ahh yes of course I can’t believe I didn’t think of that! If I knew their pronoun preference I could almost attribute that to their registered gender, and that almost lowers my possible targets down to a mere 4,000,000,000.
