There was a pretty good conversation in another pyf thread a while back about the problem of bad actors in leftist spaces. Due to a variety of factors, intersectional spaces like this are very attractive to narcissistic personality disorder folks. Apparently you need consistent reliance on rules, strong moderation, and leadership willing and able to eject people permanently, or else you likely end up a little kingdom ruled by narcissists and staffed by people terrified of saying the wrong thing and suddenly being an oppressor.

Of course many places dont or cant create and enforce consistent rules and keep folks like this out. This is part of why most online spaces fukkin' suck. Big chunks of Tumblr, YA author twitter, etc etc, just full of little narc kingdoms battling it out over e-turf like the lamest possible cyberpunk gangs.

I mean, this sort of thing has been an issue with online/nerd spaces for forever.
I can't remember the exact phrasing of it, but wasn't one of the early internet things about "Nerd Social Fallacies" something like, "You don't have to accept everyone just because you weren't accepted"

I know that was more in regards to things like not kicking nazis or pedos out and stuff, but it seems like the same kinda things apply to intersctional spaces as well. Its ok to kick someone out if they're being toxic. Might be tough, but that's part of having strong leadership.

Someone mentioned this in a QCS thread recently and it stuck in my head, basically in any online community, the community degenerates to the worst level of posting that you tolerate. Facebook has basically no content moderation except for things that are actually both illegal and for which Facebook can be punished (case in point, something like 1 in 3 of Facebook's moderation staff worldwide are in Germany, because Germany actually has laws that punish Facebook for not taking down illegal content immediately), and they absolutely do not care about people posting conspiracy theories, death threats, whatever. So over time, Facebook gets taken over by people posting conspiracy theories and death threats, and people who don't want to see that stuff stop going on Facebook as often, which means more of the content is people posting conspiracy theories and death threats, which leads to a positive feedback loop of those things getting more and more common.

You can avoid this by carefully curating what things you see on Facebook or by only participating in groups with active moderation preventing people from posting like that, because then someone else is applying a higher standard of posting than Facebook itself allows. And as soon as you leave those more heavily-moderated bubbles, pretty much any public post about any subject rapidly descends into online culture wars fighting, because that's what Facebook tolerates and so that's what they get.

It's a shame really, he's the only one I know posting this insane stuff on facebook. My roughly twice daily log on now pretty much always has a thing about covid being a lie and lockdown not neccessary or some anti-liberal stuff. He was always fairly out there (think opinionated right winger) when I knew him, and would occasionally post things I thought were a bit funny but now it's every time I log on and I think the virus lockdown broke his brain.

The stuff there about QCS/social media in general makes sense, I guess that's the big issue around fyad and the cspam stuff and in a bigger way reddit which does very little moderation even after they banned a bunch of the hate subs, but this is probably not the place to be discussing that.

She sorta has a point, Tara Reade was an adult woman when the alleged sexual assault happened, very unlike a Catholic to do that.

If she were a 10 year old altar boy at the time of the assault...

It's because there was a bullshit leak saying it was going to be one of the Dark Souls games or something.

And I agree it's a dumbass petition, but it isn't free, it's part of a subscription service and you lose access if you are no longer subscribed.

that movie is the reason anyone would make that claim, it's one of the most technically influential and groundbreaking films in history. still studied in school, but of course, duh, so is spielberg.

the screenshotted person is a bitter contrarian who is desperate to be seen as a brilliant freethinking tastemaker but their list of "perfect films" hardly matches the op's characterization
