No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This is 100% incorrect. Men don't feel unsafe approaching women because of the MeToo movement. Only incels and rapists are concerned, and they should be.
The fact that other men are parroting this tired bullshit is ridiculous.
No, it's not any more unsafe for men now than it was before MeToo. False accusations of sexual assault and rape haven't skyrocketed. It's not a thing. So stop spreading misinformation.
That's not 100% incorrect because I actually know people like this. Yes it does not apply to everyone but to ignore that it has affected normal men to some capacity would be ridiculous.
Keep in mind that I'm not saying there is anything wrong with #metoo itself, I think it is an awesome movement that helps put power in the hands of victims, I am simply stating that there are people who are not victims that abuse the movement for attention or financial gain which have hurt innocent PEOPLE, not just men. Everything good will always have a downside, that is just how it is.
The difference is, you don't criticize a movement because of some outliers. And bringing up outliers in a movement just makes you seem like you have an agenda, or in this case like you're defending rapists.
How am I criticizing a movement by making it aware that these things happen?
Oh fuck off, this conversation is done. If you genuinely somehow think it looks like I'm defending rapists based off what I said, then you are one of the last people who need to be involved in a legal movement. Remember, it is innocent until proven guilty, just because I'm not bloodthirsty to put someone in prison for twenty years before any evidence comes out doesn't mean I do not support a movement whatsoever. I'm simply stating the fact that outliers like that HURT the movement, if you somehow cannot see that, then I cannot converse with you further.
