I stumbled upon a conversation about violence against women on Twitter once. The lady spearheading it was of strong opinions against men. Yes, violence against women is abhorrent, and those responsible should be held accountable. Women have the right to be safe.
But ... she seemed to be blaming every man on Earth, going so far as to call for their eradication.
I happened to make the innocent (yes, truly, I'd never heard or used the statement before), that 'not all men' are like the scumbags who commit violence against women.
Well ... !
"FUCK OFF WITH YOUR NOT ALL MEN BULLSHIT, YOU MYSOGYNIST TROLL CUNT!" And further robust exclamations and accusations of that nature ensued.
Educated as to the limitations of my knowledge in this area, I decided to withdraw from the conversation.
I was just there, looking at a meme that I didn't understand, with comments that I not only didn't understand, but don't even comprehend how they relate to the post.
I really try to be understanding and tolerant of all perspectives, but don't think I've ever felt more disoriented in my life. It was totally alien to me.
I chose not to engage, because I couldn't even figure out what the fuck was going on.
Somehow read this at first as “straight German man” and it still made sense.
Ja, hier, guten Tag.
I don't want to upvote and intrude on their shit but they're funny
I think you're fine. It's more of a vibe and if you identify with it you're welcome. As opposed to womenstuff that is very much exclusive.
same! I love femcel memes. The lesbian ones are pretty funny too but it's the same thing. It's not my space to yap in, but I'm going to save that meme and share it with my friends.
I'm a dude and I've posted memes there
Same XD
I browse "All" most of the time and the Femcel Memes show up pretty regularly. It's not like this gif though. It's more like watching a super interesting science experiment.
"Ah, yes. I see. I see. How interesting!"
My scientific notes so far:
They crave cuddles.
Who among us cannot say the same?
I can! I'm disgusted by other people touching me. I'm more like those shy cats that hide under the furniture if you try to pet them, and only come hang out next to you if you leave them alone
(and yes it's 'tism)
You can crave cuddles and be disgusted by other human beings at the same time.
It's called I have a person, and only that person may touch me. And the cat. The cat too.
Understandable, yes! I lack that too though, I just don't like to be touched nor touch others, and I do not desire it either. I do like to pet... or I guess more like poke and pat animals (though there's specific conditions for what type of fur I will tolerate touching), but that's about it. I can hug my dog but that's about the extend of it. I also have problems with my own limbs touching each other or my torso which causes more issues honestly. "Touch starved" is something I simply don't understand lmao
I just took an NFPA 70E electrical safety course, and the instructor was talking about how electricians love to cuddle.
I thought it was weird for a sec, then I remembered the last time I opened an electrical panel with someone else nearby. Then I remembered every other time I opened an electrical panel with other people nearby. Then I remembered all the times that I was all the other people nearby.
Then he showed us a video of an arc flash with 3 people inside the panel, and then there was nobody nearby.
Arc flashes are nature’s way of saying cuddle time is over.
Straight guys can't say it. Not because they don't crave them, they just can't say that they do without social sanction. Everyone else apparently gets a pass though.
I'll say it; I crave cuddles.
Cuddles while watching TV is one of the only things that'll pull me away from my computer.
I definitely crave them.
Another note is that they seem to all be autistic, with many of them exhibiting symptoms of severe depression. Most are also trans lesbians. Many seem to be cat/fox/puppygirls.
Depressed autistic transbians commiserating about loneliness
"Aw cute puppygirls!" head pats
Depessed autistic cis guys commiserating about loneliness
"Ew gross incels, yuck!" social stigma
The fact they're mostly trans take the appeal from me.
The difference being that the puppygirls aren't lashing out and demeaning others ... they're just bed rotting while watching yaoi
Lots of lonely guys aren't lashing out and demeaning others either, but people don't notice them because they're not lashing out and demeaning others. They still get labeled as incels though, and if they find that hurtful then people will absolutely shred them for it anyway.
Also, they'll be shamed for bed rotting, and shamed for watching yuri. No matter what they do, they'll be shamed for it. So it's honestly not surprising when a number of them end up lashing out.
Are people calling those who don't behave like assholes "incel" though?
And do you think that women are not judged if they behave in the femcel manner?
It seems like you're applying a double standard, there.
They'll be nice if you give them a pink monster and tell them they're a good girl.
I prefer white monster but yes
just wait till you see the cuddle parties in vrchat with full body tracking hehe
(I'm the one with piece signs)

though, unfortunately not with the folks from femcel memes... :(
^cough cough !VRChat@sh.itjust.works cough cough^
I love the femcel memes people. What scares me is if Violet08 finds them, I think together they would be too powerful.
Yeah, but violet gets laid tho
I like femcelmemes and all the posters there. It’s like tumblr, but with fewer chips on shoulders
Oh don’t get me wrong, they’re a fantastic, mutually supportive community. I just didn’t realize what I was walking into at first. It was like entering a club I had no business entering.

I was today years old when I realized everyone else in that picture is a woman XD
The ioke in that scene is just chef's kiss, worth watching the whole episode for
The first time I commented there, I tried to be courteous in the way I usually was on tumblr. People responded kindly, but read a bit confused. I quickly realized that the club was open to all. (Within reason)
Which is to say, similar experience
It's been a few years since I delved into the Reddit side, but the femcel communities here are much nicer places to be than the subreddits. There's some feeling of independence and empowerment here, whereas the subreddits were always overwhelmed by insufferable idiots. They were truly the female version of terminally online incels.
Wrraf arf raf arf!!! :3
rough rough!!! :3

How do you haplessly wander into it? I can't even deliberately visit with the url, it just throws an error thru lemmy.world
