I really don't get why this user is so popular. It's like lemmy found one woman on the entire website and they started a fan club.

    I'd get it more if it didn't seem like the same people hated Mickey7 for doing the exact same thing, but being a dude posting.

    Personally i like him as well but he sometimes ventures into boomer humor which doesn't really vibe with me. Other than that, apparently a fun dude.

    I definitely agree that horny heterosexual men have a hard time on lemmy though. Actually i recently wrote a similar conclusion myself on some related post, feels nice to know it's not just my impression.

    She's not the only woman who posts regularly. There's also LadyButterfly and Sunshine.

    There are many people who do not make their gender clear/known; it's usually not relevant

    I don't know what db0's gender is

    Nor what yours is

    I think Violet, LadyButterfly, and Sunshine are all arguably woman-presenting usernames or strongly hint at it, no?

    Her posts are based

    I don't think it's about her being a woman it's just that there isn't much other hornyposting on Lemmy; she fills a niche

    So people end up recognizing her

    Lemmy is small enough that there are many well-known people on it, people whom many users recognize

    From what I've seen. The love now is a reaction to the initial hate. When violet08 started posting I remember most of the responses were "what is this horny shit doing all over my timeline?" and when they wouldn't let up people started to see them as an icon.

    Now that they've deleted their account and came back of course people are going to be hyping up the prodigal son even more ironically than usual.
