Tankies take a moment to remind their users not to be misogynist

Meanwhile I made a post on a relevant thread yesterday lamenting that I had to block ml grad and hex due to the numbers of feral tankies, and that sometimes you even get fully horseshoed anti LGBTQ communists... but I left all that shit behind 6 months ago.

Cue two ml users lambasting and moralizing me about how its really sick to make such false claims and promote a culture of dishonesty without links proving I'm not lying.

So, 1, I can't link because I'm banned from the specific communities I saw that shit in and tussled with people in.

2, It was 6 months ago, but apparently the onus is now on me to go do all the work, otherwise I'm lying.

3: This fucking post exists.

Its continuously astounding to me that these people can do so much double think and brazenly use rhetorical tactics that have zero difference from what you encounter while attempting to explain to a MAGA cultist that the Storm is not going to happen or trying to explain to Ben Shapiro that brown people are not inherently inferior.

It is zero difference because it isn't the economics that are important to either group, it is the authoritarianism with brutal punishments for the outgroup.
Not providing link: banned

Providing link: believe it or not, also banned.
honestly I think most of them are yuri from st petersburg finishing out their shifts.
- Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

shhh, no one point out that Lemmy's devs are transphobic

I'm new here. I don't really know anything about the Lemmy devs.

But...that tweet is not particularly transphobic? I'm going to take a hard look at anyone who uses the phrase "the transgender topic". But if that's the best proof that the Lemmy devs are transphobic, it's not terribly convincing.

Not really sure how I misread the tweet.
- The part about "allowing biological men to compete in women's sports" confirms that "the transgender topic" is not just a sketchy phrasing.
- The only thing I really saw was the talking point about amab people in women's sports, but I don't think that itself is enough to jump to transphobe, I've heard really good arguments and data for both sides of it. The hatred is the real problem (in that specific debate)
How is that transphobic? Im genuinely asking cos i dont see what ur talking about.
- Same. That said, I also don't really care what the Lemmy devs believe, I only care that they make competent software.
- It's transphobic to call transpeople biological males.
  
  It's very curious that Hexbear doesn't take any issue with this. They did take issue with it until the admins told them to not talk about it, and like good little free-thinkers they no longer do.

Turns out performative language policing does not equate to an actual effort against misogyny. Who could have guessed.

Gonna be real with you PJ, that's not any different from the rest of Lemmy. There's a reason TwoX couldn't get off the ground here.
- There is a definite gender imbalance and lack of understanding given to certain women's issues on here.

To their credit, they're addressing it.

Except this is Tankie land so that means they will remove anything not in there limited political narrative
- It appears this is evidence the limited political narrative will remove misogyny.
The fact they need to address it at all is a glaring issue. But they also won't actually do anything, considering it's a crucial part of soviet union doctrine to be a misogynist.

Nice of them to take a break from calling for nuking 'the west' to focus on not being hateful towards half the population.

Does anyone know what irony is?

Misogynistic neckbeards? Say it ain’t so!!!!!

Misogyny and hexbear go hand in hand? I'm shocked. Shocked!
