I love that I listen to music that is almost uncancellable. Even the Nazi bands seem to get away with it.

[Daffy Duck]

What I fucking dumpster fire of misogyny and patriarchal privilege.🤦‍♀️

Just this forum is just a bunch of guys who just don't understand their default privilege on these issues and feel happy to debate women's equality...FML 🤦‍♀️

But what a fucking pussy running off to another safe space thread to cross bitch about another thread/posters. 

You vile sack of shit.

why did society decide guys don't get flowers

i like flowers

i like vases

i like being thought of and getting pieces of beautiful nature

You're a dog.

You're going to eat them.

And then you're going to get sick.

And then you're going to look at me all confused on why you somehow made food.

And I'm not gonna be able to help you.

remember everyone, if you want flowers, mods won't have your back

especially if you are a cute loveable dog that talks about sex a lot

You can't even see half the colors of the flowers.

Era has endless threads about how shit everything is. Everything is expensive, housing is unaffordable, employment is insecure, social contract breaking down, the world is increasingly unstable, mental health in the toilet, etc. All true. Lots of people are struggling.

Then they tell men that they have it easy and should shut up and deal with it, and then are when men, who are struggling as much as anyone else, stop listening and go where people at least pretend to listen to their problems.

I want to come back to this because of another post I saw that's expressing basically the same thing as in the quoted one here. And it's not what they're saying about men, it's what they're saying about themselves.

The assumption that you have to "coddle" someone to win their support. That to show understanding of what upsets them and offer answers in some form is coddling them. It runs further throughout in that thread that they believe the only way to win people over is to tell them everything believe is correct and never challenge any of their beliefs and so on.

And you have Nepenthe and rest all like "nah, they should shut up and be better people." As if it's not possible to reach out to them and make them better people. That's completely excluded by them from the equation. Even though from a pure math standpoint they don't have to actually win a majority to deflect the issue, just lose by less. Much of that thread and similar ones never seem to understand this, they constantly talk about how "oh so women and minorities have to sacrifice" because they can only think in zero-sum manners.

There's a long known electoral calculus to Republicans regarding breaking the Black vote from being 90/10 Democrat. Republicans don't talk about this in terms of making it 50/50 because that isn't needed, the advantage to the Democrats goes away if the Republicans can get it just to 80/20. And Republicans would start flipping major blue states at 75/25. Most of that thread ignores that men were like 60/40 and so just passes over the idea of making it more like 55/45 or 50/50, instead the entire conversation starts from the premise that men are 100/0 and that it'd be impossible to get them to 0/100. Nepenthe even has a post where she decries trying to win men because she suspects they will still vote 50.1/49.9 for Republicans. Even though this would be a massive victory for the Democrats and win them far more elections.

It's not the only problem because they also bake in an assumption that there must be a fundamental conflict between men and women/minorities so that you can't win more of the former without completely discarding the latter. From a people who lecture us endlessly about solidarity. This isn't just a problem for democracy and electoral politics in general, it's a much more relevant premise to an entire worldview. They see all people as groups and all groups as exploiters of all other groups. Men just happen to be on top, which means the right side of history will put them on the bottom. Nobody being oppressed is even conceived of because they work from the assumption that men are inherently inhuman evil creatures that will exploit all others. That's why the only way to win any men, except themselves being enlightened evolved beings, is to hand them women and minorities to abuse. It's all the brutes want. (Which help explains why I'm not really a man btw.)

They just have such huge problems about breaking away from the zero-sum all-or-nothing catastrophic thinking over there. Every thread is just filled to the brim with it. They launch massive attacks on anyone who pushes back against it. Every thread is about making perfect the enemy of good. A constant demand that everyone else be perfect in the poster's mind at all times, while never having any standards at all for the poster. And since this is actually impossible it's just an endless parade of condemnation for the imperfection of reality.

And then they can't figure out why they're perpetually miserable. Or rather, they know why they are: everyone else failing them all the time.

Factually wrong. Post from your real account coward.

For a second, thought Benji was arguing with Blueballs.

Benji tends to forget. I used to have two accounts arguing with each other back in the day, but got caught going after the “troll” account.

Man, it would suck if someone used that data to figure out more info on Nepenthe's family. I really hope that that doesn't happen.

Definitely not a comprehensive list of owners but....leopards eating faces and all when it comes to the Era members that want direct action to be taken.

I don't know why he spends time arguing on twitter, I did it once and it's an absolutely miserable experience and one of the most pointless things you can do. It's like having a private argument with a stranger that no one else will ever see (unless Benji follows you)

The fact that he deletes all this shit means he also knows this is absolutely pointless and yet he can't quit

Look, I already added a Resist banner to my avatar and posted "Fuck Trump" 3 times. I don't know what else you can realistically expect me to do.

Climb on down from that soapbox. What does that have to do with "lol just pray bro!"?

That's how we got here and I'm gonna keep bringing it up.

The don't defend child rapists soap box? that's not a soap box. Weird standards

But you do you. Keep tone policing and speaking up for a child rapist defender. A bit weird if you ask me.

I'm sick and tired of seeing the Popes keep getting away with all of it. Just once I want to hear one of them admit that they made the whole thing up, is that so much to ask?

One of the odder part of modern social media. There’s a hierarchy of users. The guy with 300,000 followers isn’t going to have a conversation with some random guy yelling “No. Wrong, actually.” in the comments. It’s like Dynasty Warriors with hundreds of nameless fodder to slash through until Lu Bu’s general shows up.

While I'll never accept it I just can't be bothered engaging on this forum, or anywhere really online with these idiots. Era used to feel relatively safe but it now feels like gaf did and I have a feeling that there's going to be an exodus soon. I'm part of Trans Era discord and that's great, I wonder if there's a women's discord?

Yeah, I almost replied, I was so close and then I realised 95% of this forum will just dogpile me and because 95% of this forum seem to be cisgender men I'll just be gaslit into thinking I'm the problem.

I wanted to vent about a promotion I missed out on just last week. So this is to replace the LAST woman senior developer and or designer in our department....I was told by my boss when he gave rejection feedback that my interview was one of the best, there was no negative feedback. Just this person had more experience.... Then I discovered the guy they replaced the last WOMAN on the senior team has 4 years less experience than me, on top I have had short term experience RUNNING an entire department. But 11+ years experience in what I do isn't a match for a man's 7!

It seems to me that whether it was a conscious decision or not - they wanted someone who would fit in than stand out...

If I posted my experience on the main forum I guarantee you I'd have no sympathy, no-one would be suspicious, and I would just be told "you sure you're not just jealous OP?"

Currently all my spare time is sucked away by shooting a year's worth of OnlyFans content ready for an August launch. Usually I play videogames and I want to get into paranormal investigations. I have a Ghostbusters PKE meter from Hasbro which actually detects EMF and that's fucking rad.

I enjoy customising and making props for cosplay, so I guess crafts could be a hobby. I want to do D&D but I've never done it before. I have a character but it's homebrew AF because they are a person who travels providing Gender Affirming Healthcare to people. So their spells consist on (warning slightly nsfw descriptions) giving people and creatures massive boobs, or giving them a vagina or a large penis. Because there's nothing more I want to do than suprise an orc in battle by making it grow giant bazongas and just confusing it, or giving a thief a shlong so large it weighs them to the floor! 🤭
