Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Ah yes, trans inclusionary radical misogynist, the TIRM.

His battle with Rowling will be legendary

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 82 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly, I don't know if it would be productive but I think it would be a horrid afternoon for Rowling so I would absolutely support this.

[–] DaedalousIlios@pawb.social 17 points 1 week ago

No, I don't think it would be productive in the least, but it would be hysterical and worth eating popcorn to!

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 15 points 1 week ago

Please make it happen. OOP, make him social media literate and translate everything to English!

I love trans-inclusive radical misogyny. it's so blursed. imagine if we had this instead of terfs.

[–] stray@pawb.social 15 points 1 week ago

You've got me thinking about Pride and Prejudice and how Darcy's flavor of misogyny could be interpreted as hatred of patriarchal limitations on the social class "women" rather than a hatred of what women actually are. That is, he hates the behavior women act out as part of a performance they've been forced into, but he doesn't fully think through the concept of systemic oppression because he has no educational background to support that level of introspection, and so he's left blaming women. I'm sure there's probably quite a lot of writing on that angle already, but it's the first time it's ever occurred to me.

Amazing. On the surface everything I read is bigotry and disdain, but I can't help liking the guy. At the very least he seems to have the consistency to choose his very own flavor of bigotry.

Not humor though; as far as I understand OOP he's 100% serious. Maybe one of those people that are kinda half aware that they're being an asshole just for conversation.

[–] stray@pawb.social 15 points 1 week ago

He sounds pretty autistic, and I mean that somewhat affectionately and not at all as an insult. His manner of thinking feels personally familiar to me.

Say we lived in a society that let dogs vote. You wouldn't have to hate dogs to be real about the fact that they're not our intellectual equals and to be frustrated with a system that gives them decision power that affects everyone in society. And you'd be even more frustrated when people around you say you're a bad person for being dog-phobic.

I think that's the internal world he's living in, based on a series of false premises that he genuinely believes to be true. I think that if these false facts were corrected then his conclusions would naturally improve. It's how it worked for me.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago

damn this is gold. that guy's a genius. he might have weird views but at least they're consistent and well thought-through (edit: except the "women are all stupid" part).

i also really cackled at the "damn, cheese, gender, what else do they deny themselves?" as if a gender is something you're enjoying. really brightens my day that some people see it that way so instinctively.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 58 points 1 week ago (4 children)

If the story is true, and my guess is that is and based in a Spanish speaking country, I think I kinda love the guy. Like a living Wholesome Redneck meme.

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 30 points 1 week ago

Honestly, having worked in kitchens, this is sorta just how chefs are. You really need an oversized ego to run a kitchen well, and you have to be a little crazy to pull it off. They're somehow either the best or worst people in the world, and sometimes you get a Guy like OP's who is both simultaneously.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 26 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Couldn't it also be that the guy exists, but the demand for stories about him is larger than him, so OOP chose to cater to that demand?

I like the "accidentally scared a 17yo out of an eating disorder" though, you can't make that shit up.

It's this guy running for political office? Is he going to start a religion?

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

No shit I'd be OK with conservatives electing guys like this instead of pedo rapists narcissists who sell their souls for a quick buck.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 week ago

This guy has some similar energy to Skweezy Jibbs

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago

What a fascinating specimen... I wish we had more.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 week ago

I hope the updates keep coming. We need to study this goober.

I want MORE

Ricky Gervais needs to find this Guy for a new season of An Idiot Abroad.

What Ricky Gervais actually needs to do is go and die in a fire...

What would you even call that? Non-toxic chauvinism?

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean it still sounds pretty toxic to me. But somehow, I think i could manage to bear it, especially after realising he kind of accepts people for who they are?

[–] Leonixster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I'd call him something along the lines of a really hateful good person? Not enough information to make that call but at least that's the impression I got

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 15 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Is there a pool going on whether "Not Gay Name" is actually gay too? He sounds so closeted, it'd be easy money.
