Bunburying and wassailing into winter - thread 7

I think it would be much easier if we were told what we CAN discuss on FWR

So not recipes, not individuals (unlike the rest of the board), not anything that requires a sex based definition

Erm, must be others

The usage of those terms truly completed the misogynistic vibes we’d been describing in previous threads.

To be honest, I got the vibes of a person who was in complete denial about their own misogyny all along. The lack of understanding of oppression, the delusion that it wasn’t there and the complete dissonance that their child’s distress was the only credible one and all others were paranoia that needed counseling to get over (but not their precious).

to then see those terms being used completed the picture. The hatred of women.

I don’t know anything about after 11 arabella

But yes that who they mean

Just bobbing in to mention that the thread about my friend becoming not a woman has been deleted too. No explanation

Really? What was wrong with that thread, it's been up for days?

Oh its not fair i miss this stuff

Its timist I dont think thats a proper ist but people who need lots and lots of sleep need protection in law

Actually i could ask my son to screenshot....but the first 4 threads went so well!

There was a new poster yelling mantras and calling people bigots too.

I missed that one, maybe after I went to bed.

And Lang was banned (although not for WBH).

The only possible reason why she should have been banned

5? Crikey.

Ah, a poster whose child had regular meltdowns and controlled everyone in the family yet was 'cool' and hip and everybody loved her?

Was this who was responsible for abuse? I hope not, the poster seemed fairly reasonable to begin with.

From 11pm to 3am it went weird, Rufus.

Ive been lurking on those threads

And i lurked on thread 5 as well

And i was surprised at the turn it had taken from the first 4 threads, some very nasty language

I went to bed at 11ish so i dont know how it went after that

But i found the purposeful evasion tiresome as i always do, i really can’t understand posters (and there have been a few) who outright lie about what other posters are saying. Its very difficult to get to grips with it because most of us can’t be bothered to check back on threads that are running into the 100’s

And purposeful twisting of innocuous posts...don’t like that either

Just come on to read it and saw that it had gone. I think the threads have been a real eye opener for people who had no idea about the consequences of this ideology. Especially the response to No.

Datun

Thank you! I was going down completely the wrong track of puns and so on.

It's very peculiar that this forum is scrutinised so closely.

There was a new poster yelling mantras and calling people bigots too.

I thought many of the posts and expressions were deeply unpleasant and misogynistic. And the poster was very aggressive.

The poster started by being reasonable and explaining how sorry everyone should feel for their child. Which is fair enough and many posters including me felt that she had been dealt a terrible hand. Unfortunately the same poster never showed any consideration for vulnerable girls.

Once it was clear that most posters wouldn’t put the trans child above girls and women’s right, the mask slipped and the abusive language and threats came out. I found it hard to watch to be honest.

I think they think Langry is Lang come back.

Fanny I did wonder if someone archived it. I wish I did but I was so tired I was not thinking.

The tweak to the question really did cause a heightened response and outrage. There were accusations of asking the question that way to make it more emotional. Well, yes. But it also made it very clear that it could very well happen and it directed the discussion to also include men who have certain desires.

The question does not state that transwomen are all those with certain desires, but that is the assumption many angry posters drew immediately.

I didn't go on that thread but I do find myself archiving threads that I think may end up deleted for future reference. Of course the archive is only good up to the time you do it and needs updating as the thread progresses. But I'm trying to train myself to keep those records where they seem important. Still get caught out though, the OP asked to delete an excellent thread that had involved quite a lot of time over the W/E.

I thought the last thread was quite uncomfortable reading. Threats about reporting and getting people banned, threats about lawsuits unless organisations caved in, general “I will do what I want and you will never be able to stop it”. Absolutely no consideration for abuse survivors, Muslim girls or women in general.

It is sad that it is gone, it was very telling.

Which, Edge, the latest in a series in AiBU? Bugger it.

So annoyed the AIBU thread has gone!! It was the first time I engaged on that series of threads - spent ages tapping out those responses

What a waste of time.

Feckin hell, when defence mechanisms become a banning matter....

Speaking of which the question thread has gone. I don't know what was happening, apart from a spectacularly unpleasant individual, as I was only part way through.
