@freemo Yeah the song too 🙄 My kids are grown ups that know how to think for themselves. You can keep on pretending that there are no bad elements in this and it's all in good fun. It's a weird hill to die on but have at it.
@realcaseyrollins@freemo sure but the point is more that there are a lot of valid reasons for parents to be hesitant to accept things like Drag Queen Story Hour
@freemo@thatguyoverthere Freemo is right tho, the people coming for the children are not the ones saying they’re coming for your children, the ones who are saying that they’re coming for your children are making fun of you for pointing out that people are coming for your children
@freemo what's funny is that we've had plenty of amicable interactions and I don't think you are stupid, but the second someone disagrees with you it must be because they are dumb, dishonest, [insert ad hominem here].
@thatguyoverthere right... you claimed they were coming for your children... so they made it a chant to mock you... you really dont get how that works huh? They were making fun of you, and your responding in exactly the way they were making fun of.
I have made no effort to ruin anything for anyone. All I said was it is not the same thing as Mrs Doubtfire and that parents have a right to be concerned (and voice those concerns if they so choose).
No one thinks you are required to send your kid... just shut and stop trying to ruin it for the people who are enjoying it... least of all making nonsensical claims about pedophilia.
You said I lied because Google pictures doesn't show you anything like what I did. Then you said I'm dumb because I don't get the stupid joke (I do but there is truth to it which makes it much less funny). There were other more subtle remarks but I really don't care. It's funny is all
@freemo@thatguyoverthere Not yet, no; although now in some parts of the #USA at least, the government will take away your kids if you refuse to have them cut up in some cases
@freemo dude come on. You accused me of lying before I even posted the screen shot. I corrected myself and said it was 3rd result first row and then you spat out that I confirmed I was lying "because the first one was wholesome" (it's not, low cut front, but it's a bad shot with the person facing away from the camera and the second image didn't load). You literally used a single algorithm by a known influence operation (google) and picked a picture you wanted to counter mine with to suggest that I was being dishonest in the first place (literal cherry pick). The pictures below are just as fucked up I don't really know what you are talking about (the last one is below the fold). I guess I could have picked one of the unrelated pictures of people protesting 🙄.
The more notable ones that hit the news were people like the dick monkey guy or whatever.
This is a meta search engine and instead of thinking maybe we used a different tool you think I am being disingenuous and filtering the results. All of these pictures are places where I would not want my child at a young age. I don't know what google shows you and I really don't care.
@thatguyoverthere i said you lied because you said you picked the first result when you tried to show us how u biased your selection was. Then when you showed a screenshot where it was actually picked as the third option, arbitrarily picking the most questionable of the pictures presented to you.
@freemo I'm done arguing. you are trying too hard. It is the first front facing fucking picture. nitpick all you want. I still say the very first pic was just as horrendous. You think it's wholesome you should date it.
It wasnt the difference of tool, its the fact that the picture was obviously atypical and unlikely to be some arbitrary first result. When you showed the screenshot it cinfirmed it, you had a bunch of pictures and cherry picked, it wasnt the first result as you had claimed it to be.
I used google yes but also my own eyes. Unlike most people before i judge somethi g i tried to go and see it for myself first. I went and viewed a dozen or so of these story times so i coukd judge for myself. None of them were in line with the reality you try to push, a false reality that is either an intentional or unintentional lie, but clearly a lie.
@freemo yeah if I disagree with you I must be biased and ignorant (maybe a little stupid and dishonest too). You don't have any biases because you have been correctly educated.
I can barely even tell what you are trying to say at this point. Maybe step away from computer and cool off so you can form whole sentences.
@Flick@thatguyoverthere it's funny. He's trying to downplay the threatening rhetoric of the TRAs. But this is the retard who took the internet so seriously he claimed he was going to sue Spinster.
@thatguyoverthere@Flick fedi lore from before my time but give me a moment and I'll dig it up. Freemo is a complete faggot that needs to be bullied a bit more.
They're in a position to work two jobs each to rear another unthinking automoton just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to not question the system they were forced into against their will.
So parenting happens by MTV, then Nickelodeon, then Elsa Pregnant Dentist Challenge (IMPOSSIBLE?) (ZITS WILL BE POPPED.) @kekkerel@freemo@thatguyoverthere
I wonder how many children are actually being protected properly by their parents or any guardians whatsoever.
Looking at the incels and feminists running rampant, precious few. And it’s not just a protection thing, but a general parenting issue. The previous generation of parents is probably the worst generation of parents I can think of, although to be fair that may be the fault of Baby Boomers
@Flick@thatguyoverthere in that thread, my old mate, Coyote, completely broke down what happened when initially announced he was taking legal action against Spinster. He provided screenshots but sadly... his instance is gone and the screenshots along with it.
(We have no idea. Afaik, no one does. Some of the missing Spinsters people are still in touch with, or like @BCLADY told us they were going, but Emma just vanished one day.)
@Flick@thatguyoverthere@EmmaFaber that's the "genius" of Emma. It brought out all the worst animus both sexes have towards each other.
I want to think that I had something to do with it because I talked to Spinsters and didn't get baited by Emma. I was also slightly familiar with the state of online feminism vis-a-vis trannies/gender critical stuff and I just saw that Emma wasn't really involved in that conversation or had anything to say about say... Megan Murphy or Magdalen Berns. And "she" didn't even have anything to say about more well known older feminists like Andrew Dworkin. "She" also didn't seem to really partake in intra-Spinster conversations in any meaningful way. All "she" had was rhetoric. And anybody can affect that.
But it's also that a lot of the people from my "generation" the 2021 diaspora don't come from quite the same background as the kind of people who would have been invested in the fedi earlier. Which is to say, trannies, TRAs and extremely autistic tech nerds that really dislike women and don't understand them.
There was a tranny called Opal who gave me grief when I first got on the fedi. He's a great example of that archetypal fedi oldfag I hate. He -really- fucking hated Emma but he never once considered that it was by design. All of the "newfags" who hadn't been on the fedi for longer than a year either got the joke or accepted Emma as being a legit crazy woman and had "fun" with her. But Opal curse "her" with every fiber of his being and write angry effortposts against her.
@thatguyoverthere@EmmaFaber@Flick exactly. What happened to "her" when I pointed out that "she" was likely just a shit-stirrer and people grew to like "her" and "she" could no longer sow discord between Spinster and the rest of the fedi?
@PonyPanda@thatguyoverthere@EmmaFaber NGL, I did look up one day about six months after she left and realise I was suddenly having sensible conversations with a lot of Fedibros.
In fact, I posted something along the lines of “is it just me or have they really got a lot more civilised lately?” and got replies saying “no, you women are just less crazy lately”….
