Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

The 2010s definitely had a lot of missteps and over-corrections when it came to pulling the country more left and it's a shame. It's led to statements from politicians like AOC saying things like "woke 1.0 is dead" and similar and that's really understandable. There should be more grace and education in leftists spaces for sure.
Then there's some topics, like recording people having sex without consent, that I thought was a pretty agreed upon crossed line. I thought consent was something we all agreed should be respected more in our society and our country. So coming on people willing to play devil's advocate for knowingly recording someone without their consent blew my mind with FishFace and other users here yesterday.
So yeah, I clash with some people like FishFace that are willing to "both sides" topics that don't need it because it's really frustrating and offensive. Add in that I've got ADHD justice sensitivity and I can be real stubborn about topics like these.
I'm not everyone's cup of tea and that's ok shrug
I in no way defended you lol. I said you're funny in a "I find their dogged determination to be wrong, amusing" sort of way.
I might have been more charitable if we'd started off with the civility you just demonstrated, but that ship has sailed for the foreseeable future.
Yeah I took that line out as soon as I saw you downvoted me and realized who you were.
Again, defenders of non-consensual sex and recordings are on the wrong side of history.
Fucking lmao.
Oh I'll die on this hill so hard lol
