so i went on reddit, yes, i know it’s a cesspool, a sewer full of horrible people, but there was this one person whose story i was gonna read, their life’s story and needing advice on how to make friends. but when i clicked on their profile out of curiosity, i saw they had like karma in the -30s. i thought this would either be a troll or someone who was right and just got downvoted because redditors are stupid. turns out, they are, and she got upvoted a bunch for her opinions in a transphobic echo chamber.

she kept saying that trans women don’t deserve to be lumped in with cis women and that they take away women's bodily autonomy, that she’s been raped before and that trans women “take away” the depth of her experiences, and other stuff. she also claims that there are only boy stuff and girls stuff and that only men like video games and computers whereas women like makeup and romance and if a trans man likes makeup and romance or dolls, he is “proving” that he is a woman.

which is just stupid. i looove old tech and i’m a cis woman, wtf!?

she also claims she’s a centrist but this seems very right-wing to me, and she also claims that she wants to be very stereotypically feminine and that tomboys are misogynists and stuff.

Empathy fatigue.

I'm an obnoxiously empathetic person. I spent a week in a "mental health facility" last year, and it was an emotional nightmare. I hate seeing people in pain, so being involuntarily admitted into a dumpster filled with people in the worst pain, and at the lowest point of their lives...

Not amusing to say the least.

By day four, I didn't even look up when someone screamed screamed, or i heard the "thud" of someone succumbing to the "let's try you at this dose" reactions of the drugs.

Sometimes you just don't have the empathy to deal with these people, and the older I get, the less empathy and more 'hatred' I have for people that just constantly hurt themselves. Their actions are their own, I'm done trying to empathize or 'understand' their perspective. /rant

Probably a troll.

You’re only hurting yourself by reacting to this bait. Downvote and move on. Getting worked up over it will displace your time and ability to do positive things. That’s what they want.

you’re right

oh, this prick is also racist, but claims she just has a “contrarian” personality, saying that immigrants dont deserve homes and that we shouldn’t house people who arent from our native country, only natives, which is so stupid. am i overreacting?

[-] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Ugh, the worst part about that bullshit argument: we shouldn't pay for immigrants, we should be paying for our own people!?¡

Ok, then let's start paying for our own people...?

You're not overreacting. This person sounds like they suck, and they would be banned off Lemmy or the Fediverse in a heartbeat. Also, that's not typically centrist, or maybe "liberal", (liberal, not leftist) behavior, sounds more conservative right

I think maybe start with the assumption that they are a bot or paid shill, and their goal is to try and shift centrists to the right.

Anyone making decisions for the big tech companies is leveraging their position to influence large scale social trends.

Sounds like she's misogynyst: "biblical" bulls+cows, NOT upright-humans, "roles" idiocy.

That tries to limit women's validity/diversity/meaning to her oversimplified ideological-cartoon.

< shruggeth >

Her karma.

I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
