A space for LGBTQIA+ people to express themselves.


RULES

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. Be nice to each other, no bigotry of any kind
    Bigotry includes transphobia, homophobia, aphobia, sexism, racism, ableism, etc. Hold each other accountable. If you see something, say something.

  3. Don't link to transphobia
    Please don't link to transphobia (or other bigotry), even if your personal intent is to challenge the bigotry in some way. Provide a content warning label in the title of your post where applicable.

  4. Be dank; don't be not-dank
    No liberalism, capitalist apologia, imperialism, etc.

  5. Harassment
    Cyber-stalking, harassment, and all other forms of threatening another comrade will result in removal.
    Threatening, inciting violence, and promoting harm to another comrade shall result in removal.

  6. No sexually explicit content
    As badly as some of us want to get saucy here, do not post sexually-explicit content that could reveal your personal or confidential information. Until there is a way this could be safely executed, all sexually-explicit posts will be removed to keep our comrades safe.

  7. Do not post NSFL Content
    It will be removed.

  8. We are not a crisis service
    We can't guarantee an immediate response. This does not mean no one cares. If you need to talk to someone at once, you may want to take a look at this directory of Hotline Numbers.
    If you need help but don’t feel comfortable making a post for any reason, please message the moderators. We will be glad to talk with you privately, or help in any other way that we can.

The exception here is that gamers are in fact the problem

The problem is, good luck spreading this message to radicalized reactionary public which doesn't consume your actual message, but a modified mass-media version of it... It's always the same issue

And they will deliberately "misinterpret" things. Everyone knows what is meant by "toxic masculinity." It has been explained thousands of times. Go to any misogynistic space and they will say it means "masculinity is wrong." It doesn't matter how many times you explain it. It doesn't matter how many feminist organizations or books on the subject you link to.

Fascists say the wrong things on purpose. Do not give them a benefit of the doubt.

A man who is definitely The Problem: “Look, I hate patriarchy just as much as you do”

Yeeeeah that's not selling me on the idea of letting straight white men wreck the Black liberation and self-determination formation. At all. If the individual won't acknowledge that they're perpetuating the systemic problem we fight, they have flagged themselves an opp.
