  • My parents separated when I was really young, roughly 5 yrs old. As I grew up and had visitation with my dad he always drilled into me “women just want a man who can provide for them, in the end they all just want money.” Being young and obviously not knowing how crazy my dad was yet, I believed him for a long time.

    Turns out when you treat people like they just want you for your money, that’s the only kind of people who will put up with you. Kinda self fulfilling. Found a nice lady now, happily married and caring about each other, not just money.







  • Is it? You keep saying it’s a child, I’m trying to stay objective, is it? Pictures of real hate crimes are bad. But plenty of shows and movies depict hate crimes and you don’t seem to be fighting that fight, seems like inconsistent morals.

    Yes yes, I get it, you’re against CP, I am too. My point is this isn’t CP, this isn’t a child. This is a make believe spiritual being that you think looks like a child. Hell in the pic shown she clearly isn’t a child. I mean if you take a kid and draw a picture of what you think they’d look like as an adult is that CP? The pic isn’t a child. I mean, honest question.




  • Is it a child? What age are they? I couldn’t find it anywhere. Looking at the official image it’s hard to say. She could be 7 or 30. The Internet is going to Internet.

    But this “CP is CP” thing is a little odd. I mean without knowing her age you’re just assuming. The C in CP is child, are they a child or are you just upset that you think they kinda look like one? It’s also way weird, she’s not real. Do you get upset about anime dogs being killed? Do you get upset about violence in anime? I mean what if it is some old being in a young body? Isn’t CP wrong because they don’t know better and are helpless victims to the F’d up thing. That’s not the case here. I’m honestly just confused.

    I dunno, you’re whole stance is claiming things that run counter to my experience and I don’t feel wrong having attacked ML at all. You can say both sides do it, but even in that case it’s wrong. I’m not looking to find a place that strictly lines up with my views so I can just live in an air tight echo chamber. I speak my mind in all communities and have only gotten banned in ML because I don’t fit the mold. Maybe I’ve not come at people in world “the right way” like you have to get censored but I’m open to being shown some instances of it.

    I’d love to show you examples of my normal comments removed, but they’ve all been removed lol. What would you like me to show you, I guess I could screen shot it from the mobile app on my side.

    If you’re Marxist and want to live in that ML bubble that’s fine, but I’m not interested in a community that is so strict in what can and can’t be said, especially if it’s going to host non political communities. It seems like reinforcing group think. If it’s all about Marxism then only host those communities, hosting others seeems like a slimy way to inject politics into other things.

    I’m talking about normal comments. Remove politics at all. Both communities have what we can call “conversations about benign things.” I’ve seen more censorship in ml than world in that area.

    Then if we do go to politics, I can attack both sides on “home turf” and only receive bans from one side. Sure my user is a .world user, no idea if that factors in. I’ve just seen a difference in how the two approach similar situations and in don’t agree with how ml has handled those. That’s really all it is for me. I could be wrong and like I said, if I see world censoring in a way I disagree with I’d treat them just the same.

    I don’t know if I’d consider myself anarchist. My views don’t seem to fit into one of the labels going around very well. I find myself agreeing with parts of multiple stances. And disagreeing with parts of multiple stances, which is where my different experiences with censoring come in.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong or even that ml is a bad place. I’m just sharing my experience and reasoning for avoiding it. Other may agree or disagree, I’m not the source of truth by any means haha. But I’d really love to see the censorship toned down in general, across the board.

    Sure, that may be true. But I’ve been censored on ml around non political issues on ml and have attacked liberals and leftists on world without being censored. I’m one person, so my experience isn’t enough to make a broader claim but others have shared similar experiences.

    I don’t know how you can read the very clear accounts of censorship I showed you that I *personally* experienced and claim that it doesn’t happen on Lemmy.world

    I did not say you said it didn’t happen on .world. That’s not my claim.

    I mean, come on.

    Edit: this being down voted shows the very problem of group think. I showed facts and quotes to show an obvious contradiction. Gets down voted. They even admitted to misspeaking , yet here we are, it makes me laugh and it’s how people are driven away. I see this in ML so much.

    I never said it doesn’t happen on world. If fact I said I’m not so naive as to think it doesn’t happen. See, it’s this kind of thing I’m talking about. I never once said world doesn’t censor but you put those words in my mouth and try to use it as a talking point. This is a very common experience on ml for me as well.

    And it’s not me saying things that are for or against any ideology. If a community bans me for saying a fact (not a strong feeling, because the word fact has really been abused) and linking scholarly resources, I won’t participate in that community. More so, if they ban me for having a normal conversation, yeah, I’ll avoid them. I’ve argued with liberals many times on world, haven’t been banned once. I’ve even gone a little far I can admit, no ban. I had one comment removed that was a fair call because I was heated, that’s it. I’ve not experienced any of the nonsensical censorship on world. If I do in the future, I’ll move away from them as well.
