    I think I’ve just figured out why all these gross comments are getting upvoted so hard ?

    Is anyone else concerned someone is posting these posts and commenting these comments and upvoting said comments to give the appearance that Lemmy or this instance alone is dominated by perverts to then start spreading that lie all over the internet or… am I being paranoid?

    Cause I mean… seriously. It’s like Andrew Tate HQ in this comments section. And the arguments are so weak that I don’t even feel vaguely enraged by them. It’s like they’re… not even real people. Like… I’ve never met anyone like this IRL.

    Is there somekinda minor drama going on between instances? Is someone doing this in a coordinated way? Cause all the comments are also very similar to each other.

    Oh, well… anyway… 🤨

      In my experience lemmy has always been pretty misogynistic. I think it’s just a byproduct of having a heavy tech community bias. Anytime anything about women’s rights gets spoken about they come out of the woodworks.

      So, anyone who doesn’t hold the same opinion as you is a pervert and fan of sex trafficking. I see.

      You’ll be shocked to learn that some 19-year old women can actually think for themselves. Gasp! And then 13 years later when they’re married to that person with children, would you tell a 32-year old woman with children that she was groomed? You don’t think she could have realized that at some point in the last decade-plus? Maybe she understood exactly what she was doing at the time and still does today.

      Andrew Tate is a sex trafficker. Billy Corgan is a libertarian asshole. I personally have no desire to date someone that much younger than myself, though I have dated someone that much older than me and never felt “taken advantage” of.

      But two consenting adults should be allowed to have a romantic relationship. I mean, where do you draw the line, exactly? Is 35 and 25 perverted? 35 and 24? How far do we go? Does it matter that the older person is a man? If it’s always the case that a 19-year old dating a 44-year old is a manipulative relationship, then it should be codified and made illegal, right? And if that’s not the case, then who the fuck are you to judge these people?

      There’s no conspiracy here. You just can’t stand that someone would dare to question your claptrap and deprive you of precious Internet points.

        Yes.

        Dude… wow… I am shocked

        I literally don’t have to say anything. You’re making yourself look absolutely horrible. What I am reading here is the kind of comment that tanks a politician’s campaign. Didn’t think I’d see it on Lemmy. Purely vile.

          So how old does a woman need to be in order to make decisions for herself? 25? 30? If your moral convictions here are so strong, then elucidate them.

            You really don’t quit, do you?

            You have zero shame

            So desperate to normalize your views

            Nobody agrees with you. Nobody tolerates you. You are universally hated and you deserve it. Nobody has to explain themselves to you, the same way we don’t have to explain why fascism is bad to a nazi. It simply is. You’re simply wrong. Everyone inherently agrees that you are wrong, because there’s nothing wrong with us pathologically, unlike you.

            Go to therapy.

            Actually, go fuck yourself, and then go to therapy.

            EDIT: Cheers for the upvotes to everyone who read this far. Glad to know most of us are sane. I’m logging out for the night.

              I mean, you can stop engaging any time you’d like, as well.

              I can easily explain why fascism is bad to a Nazi. It would eventually ground out at some kind of fundamental difference in our world views. You could do the same here if you cared to, but you don’t.

              The reality is that you don’t actually have a moral perspective here. You don’t actually have a problem with Corgan’s actions, you have a problem with his wife and enjoy slut shaming her. That’s the real reason white knights like you jump onto these posts and virtue signal for everyone. “Oh, the poor adult woman can’t possibly think for herself. She’s clearly a victim and a prostitute who is selling her body for access to wealth and power.” And then you’ll ofc, rightly, go on to defend sex workers.

              You’re a fucking joke, bud. Zero critical thinking skills. Just whine and cry to everyone else that the mean Internet person is making valid points that you’re too fucking stupid to refute on your own.

                He really likes threatening people with vigilantly violence as some sort of weird as shit moral superiority complex.

              Oh no! are you failing in the upvotes this deep into the tread?! Fucking psycho - I hope you check yourself into an anger therapy clinic before you assault someone for saying they support a woman’s right to choose.
