Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Genuinely, who keeps posting shit like this on here? I keep seeing posts such as this one and it's honestly pushing me away from Lemmy. Why spend time on a platform that hates me? If being a man who didn't date (because of social anxiety, btw, not that you'd care, since clearly men are by default fascists, according to some comments here) is a sin, let us know on the front page, so that me and others like myself can avoid this place.
A lot of comments are, thankfully, calling this shitty behaviour out. But then I look at the post itself, which has 696 upvotes and 166 downvotes, and I'm like... I'm not wanted here.
it reads like a smug take from a shitlib clout chaser with zero nuance and zero understanding beyond the superficial to me, so that'd be my first guess.
there are a whole lot of them out there, making everything around them worse.
It's no better anywhere. I bet the same people who post this shit also bitch and moan about men staying away from leftist spaces. I am liberal, but I don't kid myself about what these people think of me.
Do you mind if I ask who you mean by "these people"?
pseudo-"leftist" take generators who make up shit to mock & deride for clout, perhaps
Don't let the vote ratio on the post turn you away. I'm pretty sure most people assume tumblr is cringe, so a cringe post isn't going to be downvoted to oblivion.
