    …Lemmy is so embarrassing at times. Did you know that Lemmy has a reputation for being bad for women? This meme is blatantly sexist. And here’s day two.

      Yes it probably would have been luckier to do it the other way around, even though I think the focus is on people buying into privacy without actually learning about it VS people who do. I don’t think OP chose this setup because they are sexist.

        Don’t worry about it, this same person had a chip on their shoulder they can’t back up about this meme yesterday as well. I think they were hurt by a manic pixie dream girl.

        They claim it’s “inherently” a sexist format despite know your meme showing that isn’t the case and the source being a joke about misunderstanding video games the concept vs the song.

        Yes, posting this doesn’t necessarily make OP sexist, that’s true. Just clueless and a proud member of the boys club that is Lemmy. Like I said, it’s embarrassing.

            I am not obtuse, in my opinion. My personality is consistently perceived as obtuse, hence the name. The label has been consistently applied to me my entire life, so I co-opted the word for myself.

            People call me “white knight” and “social justice warrior” and whatever a lot, too. But I like the word obtuse better. This obtuse side of men only emerges when something bothers me, usually of a societal nature.

            I’m right about this meme and if I was better at expressing myself I wouldn’t get so many downvotes. Being downvoted for being right isn’t actually a hobby of mine, but sometimes it sure feels like it is.
