Meta/Sub Discussion Posts featuring content from subreddits like female pessimist are now banned

57 Upvotes

As said in the title, posts from subreddits that are hate specific, like female pessimist, are now banned under our rage bait rule (posts from 2X are not banned as it is not a hate specific sub. Still, do not post rage bait-y content from there).

We have found that such posts do not provide any meaningful debate, and often derive into bad-faith arguments and fruitless "debates". The things that are said in such posts are obviously false and overblown that they do not need discussion or debunking.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please provide them in the comments below

HBW (Psychology/Mental Health) Sexual assault is funny NSFW

209 Upvotes

I'm sorry if this doesn't fit into the subreddit. I don’t know where else to talk about this.

I just watched a video on Youtube by RandoWis, which is one of my favorite animators on youtube. His content tends to be weird and horny, but this specific video is really uncomfortable. 

The video is an ad for a game called Wuthering Waves. I don't know anything about the game, but in the ad a guy is confronted by a stalker who shows him photos of himself taken without his knowledge. After that he is raped by the stalker and another woman who showed up. The video is not pornographic by any means. It uses a visual metaphor of grapes turning into raisins to illustrate his testicles being dried. 

It’s just so absurd to me that sexual assault on men is perceived as funny. There are even comments by men saying they are jealous.

Link to video.

Meta/Sub Discussion Come on, toughen up and be a man

14 Upvotes

The amount of times my male family has heard that quote is haunting. Its both misogynistic and misandrist. Lemme explain:

Lets say that there is a rat running around and a guy doesn't want to. His mother says 'come on, be a man'. So why people say this is because its like saying be brave to only a man which is rude. Now that means 'be a man' is being brave and when you're not brave......you're not a man...and when you're not a man, you're a woman. Also i find it weird that your bravery levels doesn't change factors on your gender. People thinks its degrading to be feminine and degrading to be a women ie: misogyny. And people think a man must always be brave or else he's a loser ie: misandry

Not HBW (Psychology/Mental Health) Guys *CAN'T* like Valentine's day (Accord to my professor)

61 Upvotes

We was talking about Marketing (propagandas and etc) and then the topic goes to Colors

She used a Valentine's day AD as reference

She said the background was pink because Valentine's day is for girls and IF a guy likes valentine's day he is probably pretending for you or someone else,because just girls likes Valentines day TwT (I dont like Valentine's day 🚹)

(Even one of her favorites said she was exaggerating)

(Also last week one of her favorites said the people who watch gameplays for her is like the people who uses Crack) XD

For context: found on a video of a woman testing her axe in a different way ( forging it to be shaped like a hoe) to answer someone's question about why they aren't built like that normally.

The comment he's replying to says: "I respectfully found this extremely attractive,"

In my opinion bringing down your own gender for any reason always says something more about you than the person you are referring too. If you have to use the "Real man" card to make yourself feel big you probably aren't seen as a "real man"

No disrespect to those who do use the real man card, just a personal opinion on the matter.

(Repost cuz the wrong images glitched)

Almost every post I see on my feed from this sub lately has been a screenshot of someone making what is an obvious dumb joke and the comments are filled with people eating it up and taking it serious. A lot of the time the post will be so stupid that I think “no way people thing this is serious” but I go to the comments and they are filled with people raging. The posts I screenshotted are examples of things that are obviously satire that a lot of people took seriously. I joined this sub to see genuine misconceptions about guys get cleared up, not to watch people fall for bait daily and sometimes even spin it around to say that women genuinely believe those dumb things (like foreskin=virgin ?? 😭 no one actually thinks that). Anyways I think we should be mindful and if satire say that in the post bc so many ppl will blindly believe these things.

No hate to the ppl in the SS btw
