- Comment on are terfs actual feminists or do most transphobic women just call themselves that? 18 hours ago:
Based on a couple of arguments I’ve now had, they actually sound a lot like manosphere, anti woke people. Just a bit more intelligent and well read. But even the “trans ideology” phrase that they like to use is just their version of “woke agenda”.
I think that it is a sect of feminism that has been created and seeded by the same right wing christian nationalist types that are also behind the manosphere and MAGA. The Peter Thiel and Elon Musk types. They realised in the '90s that calling everything “satanic” wasn’t working, so they started coming up with new terminology to pull people in.
First it was “SJWs”, then “woke” but it all attracts the same kind of people. And “trans ideology” was the term they came up with for women that read and aren’t completely dense. So they’re all behaving like reborn christians and going around stomping out anything the norm. But they also sincerely believe they’re right. But honestly, based on the conversations I’ve had so far, all alt right people have the same talking points, which TERFs definitely are a part of. They’re just, as I say, not as clearly dumb as other alt right types.
- Comment on What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS? 5 days ago:
I don’t really obsess about framerates myself and I’ve never had the kind of budget to have the latest and greatest parts but from what I’ve seen, somewhere around 30fps is fine.
And even though you didn’t ask, the last setting that I ever sacrifice is draw distance. I’ll turn down textures and shadows and reflections and everything else before I sacrifice draw distance. I don’t need realistic graphics to be able to immerse myself and have a good time. But things popping in and out of existence in front of your eyes are the ultimate immersion breaker for me.

Thanks for the nice conversation, btw.
Likewise. It’s always appreciated when you can chat with someone without guards up and needing to counter snark and shit.
I’ve asked to remove them
I get this bad feeling that they’re probably just going to tell you to get lost. I wouldn’t be surprised if the moderators of those subs have okayed it. Another common thing I saw creators complaining about was dodgy Reddit moderators. The moderators of those subs aren’t their friends or allies from what I can tell. If they’re not the usual assortment on Reddit who aren’t even part of the community but like power anyway, there’s also suspected ‘agencies’ or other bad actors running some of these subs and making life hard for people.
But I applaud you for doing this. And I would be amazed if it actually worked.

Even if it’s futile, I probably still won’t be able to keep my mouth shut about it lol. I do enough keeping my mouth shut in the real world, in a country where you have to assume that everyone you meet has conservative views until proven otherwise. So I’m not going to do that to myself online as well. It just feels wrong to me to not at least try when there’s an injustice going on because the easiest way for nothing to change is for no one to even try and change things.
And you’re right, things are at least better for amateur workers now than they were before. So that is progress. Although from what I’ve gathered, OnlyFans isn’t completely immune to dodgy shit either. I’ve come across a couple of stories involving practically human trafficking situations where women are forced into this by pimps and other pieces of shit. So you never really know what’s going on behind the scenes when the camera switches off and the put on smile goes away.
Which is why it’s also just more ethical to get this content from the content creators themselves rather than random 3rd party websites that lift content from elsewhere. At least if you’re getting it from the source, you can have some sense of whether it passes the vibe check or not.
Also, just want to add because I just thought of it. Places that set up bots that lift amateur content from around the web aren’t checking for vibes or doing their homework. So they’re the kinds of places that would be peddling pictures of abuse or trafficking victims, or even underage people, without even knowing it. Or caring.
The whole thing just gives me the creeps. I’m fine with people stealing from Brazzers or whatever because those workers have already been paid and you’re stealing from the suits that get rich from them. But amateur stuff just has too many variables and ethical concerns for me to be comfortable with people treating it the same way as Brazzers.

Yeah they’re basically on any platform that will accommodate them. When they’re not filming anything, the bulk of their work is marketing. Their advertising material on Reddit (and other places) is what leads to money in their bank accounts. Their advertising material on Reddit being taken and posted here leads to no money in their bank accounts.
I think that apart from people just generally not caring how they get the content they want, people also just have zero respect for these workers. They don’t see them as fellow human beings trying to live. Or as deserving of credit as other types of content creators such as artists, musicians and talentless jackasses that complain about the woke agenda on YouTube. They’re just something to bust a nut to for these people but not real.
I’m not sure that I can really blame people’s attitudes towards it though. We’ve all been kinda trained by endless scrolling porn sites to expect it all to be easy and free. And I can’t say that I wouldn’t have also been dismissing this as not a big deal if I hadn’t taken the time to get to know what these people are all about on a different level. I probably would’ve still been under the assumption that they’re raking in endless cash and living easy.
So yeah. It’s probably futile trying to change people’s attitudes towards it. And it’s probably a problem that will never go away and is just part of the game.
- Comment on What's up with lemmit.online? 1 week ago:
I’ve honestly been considering that line of work myself for the last couple of years because I’m reaching the point of last resorts. So I’ve spent the last couple of years lurking in the spaces where creators discuss the business so that I can learn from them. And also because I like to enlighten myself with what people from completely different walks of life are doing and saying.
And maybe that’s why I’m currently looking at them as human beings that are trying to make a living and not objects that everyone is entitled to for free.
I think a lot of people think that these creators are raking in thousands of dollars a day because of one or two success stories in the media years ago when OnlyFans was new. But these guys work fucking hard and often go through months where they’re battling to put food on the table. So personally, I think it’s pretty fucking shitty that a bot is taking all of their promo work and posting it here where people will never even look at their links.
And yeah, no one has disagreed here directly to me but I’ve seen what people are saying in other places.

An account literally called ‘Bot’ (so probably run by the admins of that instance) that seems to pretty much mirror entire NSFW subreddits, specifically subreddits that content creators make use of.
But it doesn’t matter, I’m probably gonna delete this comment and my first comment soon. Because I’m really not in the mood to hear all of the justifying of it and excuses for it from people who like to go around acting like paragons of virtue in all other areas.
- Comment on What's up with lemmit.online? 1 week ago:
repost everything from reddit to their own instance
And steal potential business away from amateur DIY workers trying to make a living. But the same people who tell you how pro working class they are and who complain about AI stealing fan art, won’t see any problem with it because there’s this weird entitlement thing going on as far as people’s attitudes towards porn goes.
OnlyFans provides them a platform to sell their wares but doesn’t pay them in advance. So it’s not stealing from OnlyFans, it’s literally stealing business straight from the worker’s hands. Part of me has been tempted to contact them so that they can maybe take some sort of action against it.
- Comment on guys .002 seconds after learning about the "male loneliness epidemic" 1 week ago:
Haha that reminds me of a conversation I was having with a friend once upon a time where I said something like: “I just want to meet someone that wants to spend Saturday night at home watching series and smoking a joint. But that person for me probably doesn’t exist.” And my friend responded with “Nah, they do exist but they’re busy spending Saturday nights at home watching series and smoking a joint, so you’ll never meet.”
Also, small towns fucking suck and this is not a generational thing. You’re stuck between a rock and hard place where the same people who are telling you about the ‘bro code’ and enforcing it on others, are all playing musical chairs with each other’s boyfriends and girlfriends because the dating pool is so small.
If there’s another piece of advice I could give you, fuck the bro code. None of these assholes will follow it themselves when the opportunity comes up for them and you’ll be the only idiot trying to stay ‘honourable’. Very few people that you ever meet have never dated someone before, so you’re going to be always breaking the code anyway whether you like it or not. And in a small town, you can’t afford to pass up opportunities for the sake of assholes that you’ll probably not even be friends with 10 years from now.
Also, I don’t know if you saw my edit but I can’t say this enough. Keep the heavy shit about marriage and children to yourself. Keep it light. Coming on too strong is the biggest romance killer. Try to put that shit out of your mind until much later in the relationship, if you can.
- Comment on guys .002 seconds after learning about the "male loneliness epidemic" 1 week ago:
May I ask what steps you take to try and meet a partner? I’m asking because I’m pretty lonely too but that’s because I actually never go out and meet people these days. Unfortunately most people have the idea that starting relationships in the workplace is not the way to go, even though you spend 90% of your life there. So you have to go out to clubs and pubs and shit and actually meet and mingle with strangers. Honestly I’m not sure what other options there are besides the workplace or clubbing.
I think that maybe something that is failing the always online Z generation (besides the toxic ‘manosphere’) is dating apps. They seem to be a bust and need to be ditched. Those apps are just there to harvest your data and make a buck from you. If they were to actually help you find love, then that company would lose a customer and source of data or income.
So I don’t know what else to say other than, you need to actually go out and meet new people in order to potentially meet your person. And it also helps grooming yourself a bit, making sure to shave the neck beard and chin strap and looking like someone that is actually capable of taking care of themselves. That goes a long way in showing potential partners that you’re not just looking for another mother to take care of you. And also, find a style and own it. You don’t need to follow fashion trends, just look for a subculture or something that you vibe with and can feel confident wearing.
Just note, not trying to judge or anything. I actually don’t know, maybe you’re a party animal with an awesome dress sense lol. Just trying to throw a few ideas out there for you.

Man: “I’m so lonely and I need help!”
Bystander: “You’re lonely because you listen to people like Andrew Tate and treat women like shit. Try working on yourself to be a better person, so that people will actually be attracted to you.”
Man: “Stop oppressing me, you sexist feminazi! The woke agenda is erasing white men and now just because you had the nerve to point out my flaws after I asked for help, I’m gonna punch a wall and vote for someone who will take your rights away.”
Bystander: “Oh ok. Enjoy your loneliness and self pity then.”
Moderator: Comment removed for sexism against a marginalized group
- Comment on A troll (https://lemm.ee/u/shinigamiookamiryuu) is a new moderator of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world. What can be done about this? 1 week ago:
No one looks at or cares who the moderators are when they post anything anywhere, EVER! NEVER EVER EVER!!!
Yup. I wish that it was possible to make it clear to moderators just how little of a fuck the average user gives about them. Because they generally seem to have delusions of grandeur and think of themselves as the most important people around. Which is fucking bullshit because without the users that they dismiss and treat like dirt, they wouldn’t have a platform where they get to inflate their egos in the first place.
I actually made a post about this elsewhere but I’m gonna mention it here too. The reason the API thing on Reddit didn’t cause every user to come here is because the moderators there made it all about themselves. To the average user, the whole ‘protest’ looked a lot like the people who treat users unfairly whining and crying about the admins treating them unfairly. And I can tell you, there was little to no sympathy for them. All they did was cry about their modding tools while locking entire communities that thousands or hundreds of thousands of people make use of. And they pissed everyone off.
I know that personally a big reason the API thing didn’t do much for me in my decision to leave Reddit (or not) was because the same people that forced me into using services like reveddit because they like to silently remove people’s comments without notification, were suddenly asking me for solidarity and to feel sorry for them.
- Comment on Popular game launcher Playnite will get Linux support but it's still a while away 1 week ago:
Fuck yeah! This is one of three Windows exclusive programs that I’ve always wished was cross platform. This is definitely the most important one though because it is unmatched. There’s ways to do what Rufus does and you can get pretty close to Notepad++ with the right settings and add-ons in Kate or Geany. But I have never seen another game launcher on Linux that comes even close to Playnite.
- Comment on Am I ugly? 1 week ago:
Maybe you’re a bot, maybe not. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here.
And my answer is no, absolutely not. You are in fact very pretty based on this one bad photo. And your face looks perfectly normal as far as proportions go.
School fucking sucks. And I’m willing to take a wild guess that your low self esteem already makes interacting with people difficult for you right from the start, before they’ve even said anything. So I’m willing to bet that at least 50% of your troubles here are your own thoughts bringing you down.
But as for the other 50%, you don’t need to please shitty, immature people. And don’t worry too much about the boys either. From stats I’ve seen, there’s a good chance they listen to people like Andrew Tate in their spare time. If you’re 17, sounds like you’re pretty close to finishing up with the place where you’re forced to be around people that you don’t vibe with.
Trust me, when school is over, that’s when you’ll get to meet your people, people that don’t make you feel like shit. And as far as relationships go, you’ll have a higher chance of meeting decent people that you actually want to be with. The only people that say school is the best years of your life are the people who peaked there. So hang in there.
- Comment on If I’m mostly attracted to men, is it «wrong» to consider myself pan? 1 week ago:
Labels are useful for when you’re questioning things and looking for where you belong in the world. They provide key words that can lead you to more information and communities of more people like you. This user is just looking for where they belong without feeling like an imposter or fraud.
I do agree that people shouldn’t hang on labels and revolve everything around labels though. They’re tools and guidelines but ultimately only the individual can define how they really feel and who they really are.

I think there’s about 3 different communities in Blåhaj that are for asexual, aromantic, agender people, or combinations thereof.
There appears to be no active asexual community
This seems to be a hurdle that Lemmy needs to get over in general. Communities are inactive because any new users checking them out see no activity and go elsewhere. So it’s a catch 22 or vicious circle or web whatever. I’m guilty of this too.
But really, these communities will never become active if everyone keeps doing this. It has to start somewhere. I’m willing to bet that if you choose one of the Blåhaj communities, you’ll probably get responses from other people that have been waiting for more activity too.
- Comment on reddit 2 weeks ago:
I know that the Firefox subreddit was doing this a couple of years ago. Although I half suspect that they were using swear words as an excuse to remove any criticism of Firefox. And after multiple run ins with them and messaging them to ask why my comment was removed (no swearing isn’t actually a listed rule in the sidebar), I’m pretty sure they just started doing it for shits and giggles too. The last straw for me was when someone mentioned an old app and I said “holy crap, I remember that app!” Checked a couple minutes later in reveddit (which had become a habit when posting in Firefox) and sure enough, my comment was removed. That was the last time I ever went near that sub.

When I was younger, I believed that it was an ideal worth striving for.

- Comment on Permabanned from Reddit? 3 weeks ago:
My first ever suspension from Reddit was for an anti religion comment. On Reddit. Then after my 3 days were up, the first thread I saw was on the subject of religion, full of people saying worse thing than I had, and in one of the major subs, not even atheism or anything.
I could definitely buy that they’re using AI but personally I always had the impression that they outsource the job and don’t make sure everyone is even on the same page or can read English properly.
Because even the stuff that gets [removed by Reddit] seems to be nonsense a lot of the time. A while ago I saw someone make a post saying something like “Hi guys, haven’t been active much lately. But I’m back and gonna be posting more.” Came back later and it was [removed by Reddit]. So not even that is trustworthy or gives the impression that they actually know wtf they’re doing.

This is most likely from the DCAU, either Justice League or Justice League Unlimited. Bruce and Diana had a very short lived little courting thing going on or whatever you would call it.

- Comment on ‘Sonic 4’ Sets March 2027 Release Date 3 weeks ago:
I made a post the other day expressing disappointment with these movies vs. how Sonic is portrayed in the games and other adaptations. But I have to say, one thing I’m looking forward to them getting absolutely wrong in Sonic 4 is Amy Rose. The way I see it, the only way to do Amy Rose right is to go against the source material because Sega doesn’t give a flying fuck about Amy Rose and they’ve flip flopped so much on if she should be a hero or just a follower.
The three Roses were probably the best part of Sonic Prime. So I’m looking forward to an actual badass version of her on the big screen.
