95% male platform go brrrrrrule

If people act like that on 196, please report it

"Italians do it better" is an intentional double entendre, so I feel moving to a more sexual commentary is not wholly out of the ballpark of reasonableness.

Fuck "Is this your first day on the internet" response, though, and the other two weird comments.

We really 95% male here, though? I thought it was more like 70-30.

Those are yucky comments anywhere other than an lemmynsfw community or a community with a suggestive name. I can't glean much context from this screenshot of the post but in general, I believe horniness should be kept to horny online places.

We can and should do much better than that.

Related to the previous posts bit, but I remember first seeing the Man vs. Bear memes.

I'll admit it was hard not to take it personally at first, because even if you agreed with the core of the message, it feels like you're being lumped in with the worst of menkind for no good reason. That's probably why the reaction was so toxic, because people just replied with their gut reaction, which was to take offence...

But upon giving it a bit of thought, I realised that as a guy who's lived in some dodgy areas, I think I too would oftentimes prefer to take my chances with a bear than alone with a stranger at night - not cause I think I'd beat the bear, but at least you know what the bear's probably gonna do...

And if I feel that way being a man, then considering (on average) women are weaker than men of the same build, I can see why women would feel that way too.

Love getting the wakeup call that just because something is part of the fediverse it is not inherently good or perfekt and still needs work (in regards of the humans that join)

Shit misogynists say

The men ain't sending their best, folks.

!lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world has a big problem with openly misogynistic users making “jokes” in the comments.

I feel like it depends on the instance, .world is mostly male liberals (who will occasionally act sexist) while Blahaj.zone is mostly Transfem :3

(Btw I wouldnt tolerate any of those comments on c/Trans)

thats what happens when you build a community with a large percentage of shut-in nerds and software devs (speaking as one of the latter)

i miss [bigotry showcase] it made me feel like i was on the sane part of the internet

Which instance was this on?

Oh shit, I've seen this (yours) post a few hours ago, but just now I noticed that's Lemmy...
I thought that was from Reddit at first.

Something something bear

I love all these comments like this woman is asking, cares, or is even interested. "I totally probably would." Okay, but would she??? Why do they think this woman wants to be someone's last call when she could be someone's first choice? If I looked at a picture of a regular guy and my fat ass was like, "Hmm, I mean, if I was drunk, and I had no options, I guess I'd take him home" I'd be dragged, and rightfully so. 😂

Has that picture cropped off the S or a comma?

Is it "Italians do it better" or "Italian, do it better'

What happens when you group all chronically online nerds in one place (twice not going outside and talking to girls)

I'm glad that every time I see a "girls are boring/well-adjusted, boys are quirky" meme format someone has already commented on that, but it always comes with multiple "it's just a meme dude, don't overthink it" responses.

What the fuck?

Who is this? They look familiar.

I saw this very post just a few moments ago. Holy shit, these guys can't keep it in their pants.

The only thing I could think of when I saw that was worry about her own self-image... obviously won't comment trash like that unless providing context to further thoughts -

So long as she's happy or in the pursuit of her own personal happiness (even if not and just doing what she can do get through this shitty life,) whatever she looks like is none of my fucking business ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sucks to think of the unnecessary abuse she has to put up with from day to day.

Comments like those make me glad for my instance, I very rarely see comments like them

Oh hey, I'm in this screenshot making an off-color comment. We can debate misogyny and such, probably won't be very productive.

The thing I find interesting in this: "Italians Do It Better" is an inherently sexual statement. Everyone knows that IT is sex and maybe some other reference with this style of bumper sticker meme. That's what makes it funny. So then, is it wrong to make a sexual joke about someone who is wearing a funny sexual statement? I don't think so.

If she were wearing a plain tee or some other logo, I wouldn't make a sexual joke. This feels like white knight silliness to me.

i fail to understand how i am very respectable when i try to find a girlfriend yet this misogyny is widely celebrated by some men and some women find it acceptable. is somthing wrong with me?
