Forum Rules in L&D

Post Reply New Topic

I know you won't answer this, but I still don't understand.

You think it's "politically conservative" to silence women / LGBTQ or segregate them from the rest of the forum, so people with "radicalized" views can insult them without restraint?

Sounds a bit like the Montreal Massacre to me.

Over and out.
If anyone wants my input on L&D reform, please let me know on PM.

No sexism and mysogyny and misandry I will add.

Wouldn't that just result in circlejerks of disinformation with little way to effectively counter obviously untrue narratives?

You do know Dale Gribble?

What about no threads on alpha/beta stuff because they always involve sweeping generalizations about both genders?

I’m tired of seeing threads where members try to back up their sexism with vague references to genes or supposed evolutionary biology to make it sound factual.

Maybe that could be mentioned as an example of what not to do in a section of the guideline on generalizing.

It’s sexism against both sexes.

It insults guys at least as much as it insults women.

According to an extant “theory,” 80% of women desire 20% of men.

When discussing how to make L&D a better place still causes arguments...

No, just... no.

Elsewhere you complain about the entire site being too "woke" or too "left" and now you're asking for moderators to deliberately enact a bias, one which (entirely coincidently, of course) happens to favor your viewpoint?
As you often remind us, you've found your own far-right QAnon paradise off WP - yet you want the same here?
No, just... no.

This ^

The red/blue pill and alpha/beta nonsense is little different from "facts" being used to "prove" that one race is inferior/superior to another; it's all damaging, offensively generalising pseudo-scientific claptrap that actually causes problems one way or another for WP members.

I've been criticised here for having a boyfriend in his 50s, which surprised me, considering all other sexualities must be tolerated here.

You have a boyfriend?  Congratulations!

People tend to get too wrapped up with age.

I believe two consenting legal adults should not be criticized for their relationship choices.

You'll get no criticism from me - my wife is 17 1/2 years younger than me.

Yes, been with him for 8 years. Lol



So do I. Some people even think that a 6-year age gap is too big, between two consenting adults.

That seems like a "You might be autistic if . . ." item!

I intended it as like a meme.
