all this to say if you start pinning shit on "antis" or "cancel culture" fuck you, I should mute you but I probably won't

this is an issue with all analysis of this election, but it's especially strange to see on the left. I'm seeing a lot of leftists say either "biden will win" or "this should be the easiest dem win but biden's campaign is so bad that they might lose". Both of those claims appear to be based on the assumption that every adult american will get a vote, which is honestly delusional
Meta, LuigiEsq, ableism being apparently acceptable #OnHere
Hi, I'm the person who made the report to the dot social mod team about Luigi's ableism. Everyone talking shit about the #FediBlock post taking issue with "babybrained" and ignoring the "dents in their brain" part is completely showing how acceptable they think ableism is, because insulting people by saying that they have deformed brains is so blatantly ableist that it really should not have to be explained to y'all.
I want to write a technical/design article about computer systems and how they treat names.
Based on my knowledge of and social experience with white America, cisgender men almost never have to even give the slightest thought to their name ever changing.
But I wanted to check myself and scope that assertion, if needed. Is men changing names common in other cultures?
@kate gonna be real I've heard this argument a thousand times and it still just sounds like "but how would society if no cops" with a leftist flavor
the reason I roll my eyes at much "are terfs really feminists tho" stuff isn't because I think terfism is in any way good, but rather because I think that if you define people out of feminism by their being reactionary then you tacitly ignore the fact that western feminism has historically been a movement of, by, and for white women
there's racist and transphobic tendencies within feminism and you can't struggle with that and move past it without accepting it
