Misogyny should be added to list of no prejudices since it was common on the previous community.
Also I’ll repeat my request for removing ‘no tankie behavior’ because ‘tankie’ has no consensus definition which makes it a divisive term. In this community I’ve seen several people describe all Marxist Leninists as ‘tankies’. I strongly dislike sectarianism and I would like ML’s to feel welcome here. Any posts that are harmful to the community should just be moderated on the basis of its harm.
I prefer the "no tankie" rule, all it means is if you identify as tankie, you are not welcome. Which filters out a lot of problematic behavior.
This.
It works as a great self sorting filter, a lot like how mentioning the patriarchy does - those who feel it personally applies to them feel attacked and get defensive, outing themselves.
I'm an an-com, and have never felt attacked or excluded by the term tankie because I'm secure in the knowledge that I don't support authoritarianism in any form. If someone calls me one (and they have), I have a chuckle to myself at how people would rather display their own wilful ignorance than address a valid point or face an uncomfortable reality, then move on with my life. It's pretty simple really.
