With women, bathroom talk. With the boys we always talk about shit and piss and crack each other up. But mention anything related to that around a girl, she'll look at you as if you killed her dog.
You first!

Boys being left behind in school
Men's rights to do what?
Report being raped without being laughed at.
Family court. Prison time. Homeless assistance. Failing education rates for boys. And on and on.

I feel like Iβm not good with words, so when I criticize popular things like Baldurβs gate 3 or Witcher 3 I usually get downvoted
That's how I feel with nearly any online conversation. I'm on the spectrum and have social anxiety. Not a fun combo for trying to be understood when being critical about anything really. Let alone someone's favourite game.
People put BG3 on a massive pedestal and any sort of valid complaint around launch was heavily downvoted. It's not quite as bad now, thank god. I got gaslit so much. Everything was my fault supposedly, not their perfect, polished game.

gun rights
Is it though? As long as one is relatively reasonable. There's even gun communities here, even if they're pretty dead at the moment. Time for me to come up with some memes maybe.
I guess so, it's just that if I say I support the right to own a gun, I get downvoted in most communities
Yeah, in heavily left-wing spaces guns give people the wigglies. Even if it's not rights, the general fact we live in a world with them is something people try to memory hole.

Try talking about Return to Office around the workplace and watch everyone get quiet real quick
Apparently asking what people are going to do to relax after voting must be taboo, because my post got deleted without me being told why.

The left lane, and how no, it's not for going as fast as you want to drive.

- "Why doesn't this site have more in common with reddit, which it's more or less a clone of?"
- Can't bring up Trans people existing (without a weirdo downvoting you, of course)
- Can't be critical of... a certain religion without getting jumped by keyboard warriors and called a Genocide Supporter
- Don't even get me started on whatever the heck is with the Hexbear folks...
- Lemmy is, at times, a bit of an echo chamber
The bit on Hexbear is that they are Marxists and Anarchists, which can draw ire from liberals.
Lemmy is full of people that I would never want to hang out with IRL. Even if I agree with most of what they're saying, they manage to say it in the most neckbeardy way possible.
Yeah it seems the topic is irrelevant. They'll eventually just start yammering about communism, Linux and ublock. It's hard to have a conversation on here that doesn't get sidelined by those things. I can't imagine these people carrying on a normal conversation in the real world, and I don't think they understand that the world exists outside of those narrow interests.
Like OP will say they hate MS Teams. Person will say stop using Microsoft. OP will say, I'd love to but my government employer is an MS shop. Person will say then quit your job. K...
It's either very sheltered people who've not worked or interacted in 'the mainstream' or, really young naive people who think that your FOSS convictions will stand up against the need to earn a living.
I prefer it to Reddit still, but it gets a bit tedious.

Paedophilia as a sickness, especially non-offending paedos.
I chalk this up to not having a word to describe folks suffering from the condition as opposed to predators acting on their condition (or even predators just abusing children regardless of attraction). For a ton of people they use the word pedophile to mean someone who sexually abuses children. Because as soon as nuanced discussion about "pedophiles who don't abuse kids" come up, people accuse you of "defending pedophiles" but they use it to mean "defending people who abuse children."
