        The problem is you’re conflating attacks on a Nazi with attacks on a woman. Those are separate things.

        Lemmy has a massive sexism problem but you’ll not find me defending that murderous pig. I know you feel very sorry for her and I’m sure that’s wonderful for you. I feel very sorry for the people she’s hurt (that includes women btw 😱😱)

        Look, have fun playing civility charades. I’m sure she’ll remember you fondly. That just ain’t the way I play

          Where did you see that I was feeling sorry for her?

          I’m not conflating the two. Users saying that they want her to perform sexual acts for them, saying that she’s starting an OnlyFans, and talking about her appearance as many comments in this thread have done hurts all women, not just her.

          Those things detract from the terrible shit she’s done, and serve only as a distraction from them. I hate her for what she’s done and who she is, and I can say that without making sexist comments about her which could affect other women.

          Did you read the other comments in this thread before you decided to use the women in your life as an example?

            Gross.

            I know you’re here to derail absolutely any conversation related to actual progress, and you’re doing a great job. Let’s try this, am I allowed to criticize Schumer? Would that be antisemitic? Would I be allowed to say him and Jeffries should naked mud wrestle for survival in a colosseum full of hungry lions?

            Gormless loser shit. Sickening. Shit is cooked

              Again, I didn’t say you couldn’t hate, dislike, or insult anyone. I wasn’t even talking about you, so there’s nothing to derail. Unless you’re wanting to make this about you for some strange reason? I wonder why you’re having this reaction to a comment simply pointing out a pattern of sexist behavior, not even directed at you.

                It’s just where I jumped into the thread.

                Everyone’s circlejerking about how bad Lemmy is (which it is) but we are completely sidestepping the actual lives destroyed, the children ripped away from their mothers, families torn apart, etc, bc someone said something mean about a white lady. Color me surprised that that’s the issue we’re supposed to double down on. We’ll put on the kid gloves and get started on the mimosa brunch the ungrateful servants put together.

                E: I do actually get where you’re coming from but I’m super angry at this administration. I’m actually furious at the harm they’ve done (yes, to my “example women” and also other marginalized people in my life, thanks for writing them off though)

                  It’s just where I jumped into the thread.

                  And yet, you made it about yourself, even though it wasn’t directed at you.

                  Sexism isn’t just “mean”, no need to minimize it. Sexist remarks do exactly what you say: they distract from the actual lives destroyed, the children ripped away from their mothers, families torn apart, etc, just for a “gotcha” moment and high fives.

                  There are much more productive (and frankly creative) ways to rightfully shit on her while bringing attention to those actual issues. One can take off the kid gloves without sexist behavior, if one actually gives a shit about her fucked up and depraved actions.

                  Let me reemphasize: this was never about you. It was never directed at you. Yet, you made it about yourself multiple times.

                    It wasn’t about me until you turbo-libs decided to start muddying the waters. The same shit is already happening with the other fuckheads I mentioned. Millions of comments all over the place about their wise leadership. Fucking disgusting.

                    You will keep slow-playing this political change and whining about incivility until status quo is restored. We know the playbook. You’re doing great.

                    I will continue voting for the rudest motherfuckers alive until the day I die. I will continue viciously attacking bullies. Fuck your civility and your agenda.

                    You should block me because you’re never going to change my mind. Soft as fucking baby shit. Completely oblivious to the actual stakes. Liberals!
