...you don't associate the words superimposed over the image of a woman with the woman in the picture? What?

Is it really so hard to believe that an account which is consistently posting misogynistic shit is posting yet another misogynistic post?

    First, don't try to frame the conversation by hastily jumping to conclusions before I explain.

    The word and associations that came to mind when I saw the image and upvoted were not "a woman is saying this, and I know because this is what women do." What I thought was "a person is being depicted as petty af while pretending to be so classy, and that is so relatable." Much like I do when I watch a drag queen say some unhinged shit, and then they give a sly smile and fan themselves as if they coudln't believe that came out of their mouth. It's campy humor.

    So no, I don't "associate the words superimposed over the image" because I don't take memes at face value.

    And I don't know Mickey or you or your history. But I've seen plenty of shrieking on the Fediverse, with a few perpetual keyboard warriors calling anyone they don't like Nazis to be wary enough of the commenter slinging the allegations.

    So, to recap, I'm not defending anyone. But I also don't believe your "this is what Lemmy does" is accurate because you're assuming why people are upvoting, and are framing subsequent conversations around that.

    "Everyone you don't like is a Nazi"

    "Not everything is misogynistic"

    Can you not hear yourself? You sound just like the MAGA fuckwits I'm used to. These lines you're using are classic red flags.

    "Keyboard warrior" is another classic. All these lines are used to quell pushback. Be better.

    Be BeTtEr

    How about you start with yourself? All you've done so far is accuse people of shit they're not doing and trying to portray everyone who disagrees as the enemy. You're a classic case of the Fediverse Mean Girl, the one who picks up a fight over nothing, the one who tries to poison the well, the one who doesn't consider that people have other points of views. You're here to sow discord under the guise of trying to help people while simultaneously mistreating those in front of you.

    Find yourself better outlets. Go to therapy. Your behavior is not healthy. It's paranoid and destructive.

    E: Inb4 more shrieking for calling you a mean girl, Cady. 🤭

    It’s a meme. The image behind the text could be literally anything and it really wouldn’t change much. Could be a fucking minion or goddam bugs bunny. I promise you don’t need to take shitposts so seriously.

    Your argument doesn't support your conclusion. It could be an image of anything? Exactly. It could be anything but it's a woman instead.

    The words on the image are classic fucking misogyny. Men have been saying this boomer humor shit since before boomers even existed.

    It's deliberate. I've seen dozens of posts from Mickey7 which are blatantly misogynistic, and here's another one. I usually don't say anything but I'm fed up.

    "You don't have to take this seriously" is another classic misogynistic line that people use to downplay pushback. Lemmy is well known as a place that is hostile to women, and this post is pretty blatant about it.
