"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia(Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

The part about "allowing biological men to compete in women's sports" confirms that "the transgender topic" is not just a sketchy phrasing.

I'm sorry, apparently I can't read. I somehow glossed over that part. Thanks for the clarification.

Things like that get parroted as 'common sense' so often by conservatives and our brains tend to start ignoring it as obviously false. Then it becomes easy to not notice the same phrasing in other contexts, since we are used to actively dismissing that kind of bullshit.

Whats wrong with that? Its a factual statement.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Women's sports exist because men excluded women from mainstream sports for social reasons dressed up as biological reasons like 'their uterus might fall out', not for actual biological reasons like average strength or stamina.

Whats this got to do with the current discussion? Why or how womens sports exist has zero relevance biological men competing in them.
