@moondog548 you might be interested in this - after the trigger warnings, the relevant part is at the 30 minute mark.

@vkc this place is, sadly, super fucking misogynist as a whole. I'm sorry you've received some of the worst of it ️

@vkc I am so sorry that you had to deal with this.

@alex02 @vkc you may, or may not, have a point about some people being hostile to Gen Z

I'm not the right person to comment on that because I've had no experience of it one way or the other but hijacking a thread about sexual harrasment for your own issues and being hostile when it's pointed out you are off topic is frankly, obnoxious in itself

Then there is the fact you come here complaining about "whiney bitches" on this thread of all things

Complete failure to read the room right there

@gabriel @StingrayBadger @vkc For sure but me fighting IRL where I live might not do much for someone who lives thousands of miles away. Also harassment often comes from those who don’t act that way IRL. Hiding behind the keyboard allows many to let the worst of themselves out when they normally hide that in the real world.

@StingrayBadger @vkc Perhaps. Blocking just takes a bad actor and turns them towards their next target. Fighting occupies the bad actor and drowns them out.

Hell yes! I'm already a patron of that channel.
@haltroy @vkc

@vkc I had been tracking out what I considered to be sexually harassment or predatory behaviour happening on my fedi buddle recently, many times happening in a somewhat veiled manner.

My conclusion is that people actually protect each other, normalise those behaviours amongst communities. Some people's entire m.o. is to be thirsting over several (often cis) women in a community.

Even worst, in environments where people will discuss sexual content, the lines blur and discomfort becomes expected.

Am in solidarity with you and also hope people who are currently enabling this behaviour take action instead of leaving women to fight and treat these situations as isolated occurrences and not an aspect of the culture.

@NJWookie @StingrayBadger @vkc I was not telling that to / about you.

I was making the point that what it needs to change is the men all across the board, and make that fight a natural reflex in any environment, so that it doesn't require a hashtag with notifications for a bunch of select miniroty, but just some, **any** decent human being walking by.

@gabriel @StingrayBadger @vkc

You replied to me and at point you just seem to be preaching to the choir, captioning the obvious, or something else. You seem to mean well but come off odd so I’ll wish you well and go on my way. Peace.

@NJWookie @StingrayBadger @vkc it was more to stingray's, but whatever. Peace.

@alex02 @vkc
Alex, with all compassion, you're being an idiot here. I'm not saying that you don't have a valid point, but frfr don't thread-jack someone else's post to make it about yourself. And as a dude, really truly don't thread-jack discussions about bad men behaving badly to be about yourself; there is no scenario where you come out of that looking like anything other than a bad man behaving badly.
