Okay I could obviously google that but what is TERF?

Also I got an actual warning for using a racial slur and hate speech for the word CHUD.

Twitter is doing the same thing with "terf", saying it's a slur. Its ridiculous


Looking at the fismech post i think its just code to make spoilered text visible without having to hover over it but thanks for looking out

It gets worse, facebook is using a handful of "fact checkers" to review articles. While most are legit, one is a newly formed right wing organization that has already articles critical of rightwing policy on semantic grounds. Publications that are dinged with "untruthful articles" see their facebook traffic cut by something like 80%.

Of course, there's blatantly partisan leftist fat checkers included in their review board. Facebook also doesn't use any oversight on these factcheckers. I can't remember the article I read this on, else I'd link it.

From talking to a bunch of people who've eaten suspensions for saying it, common consensus seems to be that it's probably a combination of mass reporting and the algorithm.

Basically it's cis women (many of whom are lesbian) pointing at transpeople and screeching "Only those born with ovaries are REAL womyn!!!"

I wouldn't say many of them are lesbians, but TERFs have been trying hard to recruit lesbians lately, using some moon math to try to argue that supporting trans rights means you hate lesbians.

I don't think that Deodato does many US cons these days at all does he? He's still based in Brazil as far as I know. I think he was just weighing in to praise them.

I assume just removing Batman's penis by preventing Batman and his variations from ever being portrayed by men again is not on the table at this time...

Batman: Damned, in its first edition, answers the question of whether Batman is circumcised. Later editions will not.

I knew she got abuse, but Jesus loving Christ

quote:

Cain stayed off Twitter for three months, only once checking in on the hysteria. “I’ve seen some really terrible things,” she remembers. “The thing that really will always haunt me is this illustration of Mockingbird—and this was somebody with talent, like, it was drawn and inked, it looked professional: Mockingbird brutalized and raped, dead. Her costume all torn off, bloody, really violent. And she’s laying there, horribly murdered and bruised and it said, ‘Ask me about my feminist agenda.’”

Speaking of, Ecto posted a list of the "coordinated attacks" on CG. One was 'Darwyn Cooke's widow baiting CG.' That turned around pretty quick. 'BleedingCool hit pieces.'

Also Uncle Ecto seems to think he lost the 'debate' he had with Joe Q. I wasn't aware there was an actual thing. Just a couple of CG non-responses to Joe and then nothing.

If he wants to call the Joe Q stuff a debate I'm happy to say Joe Q won it.
