why is always when some shit like this gets posted i see a bunch of reactionary comments on hexbear like ‘oh well i guess we all have to date someone born the same SECOND as us HUH? I better tell my WIFE I’m a P*DO because there’s two years between us!!’ like come the fuck on
i get it, idpol’s gone wild and the youth are nutso but do you really have to throw out the nuance?? maybe i’m misreading things but it feels like some of yall get really defensive when this topic comes up, and as a result we can never have any valid discussion about this topic without someone throwing some reddit-level bad faith thing at you for saying ‘yes, there is some truth to age-gap discourse’
and as for what you’ve linked, where you’re reading ‘satirising’ i’m reading ‘taking something to a logical extreme to show how ridiculous it is’, and it’s definitely pointed at this discourse and not at redditorisms

together I don’t expect you to mean any of those comments. Just go reply to them instead of vagueposting.
I guess I see what you mean about the ones I linked, but I’m inclined to give them some benefit of the doubt from being on Hexbear.

If you used discord between 2021-2023 it was just a bunch of racist honkeys cutting themselves and calling each other pdf files
It might also still be like that, I wouldn’t know because I don’t talk to honkeys anymore
No, it’s definitely the vibe
The fact that one of the biggest things about liberalsocialist that got turned into a meme was the “power dynamics” thing always gave me weird vibes
It got memed because of the way the message was delivered, not because of the message itself
I’m only seeing one set of comments like that, and they’re definitely satirising those redditorisms rather than being reactionary.
