What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
Funny considering they use Rule 1 (no bigotry) as an excuse to ban people and silence dissenting opinions, yet won't follow it themselves.
I am Nonbinary for those who don't know. Yes it isn't obvious but it is generally bad practice to assume someone's gender.
I've gotten flak for saying "look man" once. Getting bent out of shape over misgendering in these kind of contexts is silly. I don't think he means anything by his use of "boy", other then being rude but it has nothing to do with your gender. I also used to get misgendered in real life and it never felt like something I should get mad about when it's a simple accident.
Obviously, this doesn't apply to what the trans and nonbinary community have to deal with, where they are purposefully and maliciously misgendered. I just don't think that is what's happening here.
no.
Oh man that's just scratching the surface, .ml's BrainInABox will go way off the handle, flinging all sorts of pejoratives like "shitlibs" or literally calling people scum. What do the admins/mods do? Give a 24 hour timeout from the specific comm, maybe, and for repeated offenses they might get a 1 day site ban and kindly asked to take a walk LMFAO
Say tankie though and you get 14 or 30 day comm bans right off the bat. But theres def no bias I'm sure on .ml /s
Don’t you understand, the word “tankie” is the biggest form of bigotry there is. (/s)
mfs in this thread arguing misgendering doesn't matter while assuming everyone on the internet is a man
🎶gotta love the patriarchal hegemony🎶
Is this what Alex Jones was talking about when he said they were making the frogs gay?
He misgendered you on the internet? Set that man on fire
