You're also accusing Marcie of being a malicious infiltrator, while spewing nonsense.

Why did @marcie@lemmy.ml accuse me of defending a pedo defender before I was even aware of or commented on the original post or this dunk_tank post? Again, look at the timestamps. Does that sound good-faith behavior to you? I was already getting piled on by several people, who presumably took her at her word, before I even knew anything was happening. The only reason I got involved at all is because my inbox blew up out of nowhere this morning.

Defense against being charged of a precime, if one looks at the timestamps, which no is going to do.

Admins, are you seeing these removals, or has c/the_dunk_tank gone rogue?

I have no interest in defending and did not defend the position that the images weren’t “technically CSAM”. Show me where I said that. I didn’t say anything about what CSAM is or isn’t, and I rejected his legal arguments.

Show me what I actually did wrong. Show me my own words, and what is wrong with them.

If I said anything wrong, it was the preamble to my bullet points: “I didn’t see him defending pedophilia.” Which, you’re welcome to argue was in my own ignorance and failure to closely read everything in that sprawling conservation, I did not see. The bullet points themselves I think still stand, despite having been censored.

Read my new buried wall of text you lazy s: https://hexbear.net/comment/5047191

I didn’t actually apologize for anything. What specifically am I supposed to be apologizing for?

If you look at the timestamps, you will see that I was being accused of defending a pedophile & pedophilia before I even knew about the !technology@lemmy.ml post or this one. I think @marcie@lemmy.ml has been fast & loose with the facts, and not by accident.

This has been a pile-on by people who took accusations as truth without investigation, and I’m ready to receive their apologies.

What I actually did do, three months ago, was tell week-old new user @marcie@lemmy.ml that I wasn’t going to let a newbie crybully me into permabanning someone. I think she’s still butthurt about that, which is understandable & on its own forgivable, given that @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml (TAJ) is unquestionably a misogynist (which invariably also means a transmisiac) who has gotten several temp bans and tongue lashings from lemmy.ml admins. In fact last month I (and @dessalines@lemmy.ml (and @frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml)) ripped him a new asshole, and I gave him an ultimatum. Here are my two of my comments from that convo:

I was under the impression that you were going to stay out of gender discussions altogether. Am I mistaken? Normally people with modlog rap sheets this long have gotten site bans. We’ve really gone out of our way, and I’m starting to feel we’re being taken advantage of. You already got your ’grad account banned and you got this one banned from hexbear. If you can’t stop it I will.

I think you’re pissed off at bourgeois feminist theory and bourgeois race theory, which are deserving of criticism, especially since they’re used as class weapons against non-whites both within the imperial core and the periphery. But you don’t get to use these bourgeois theories as an excuse to dismiss the proletarian ones, or as an excuse for bigotry. For example, just because a liberal Critical Race Theory was created and promoted to subsume/recuperate the original socialist theory doesn’t mean we can ignore the original.

Unfortunately ProleWiki doesn’t have much in this area as yet.

• https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combahee_River_Collective
• The Combahee River Collective, 1977:A Black Feminist Statement

Much more often than not, “not all men” is used as a cudgel, similarly to how “not all whites” is, and the same goes for “men are oppressed” / “whites are oppressed.” How bad they are in comparison I don’t care to argue; it’s enough to say that they’re also bad. They are not false statements in themselves (as proletarian theories show), but they’re usually either misapplied or applied in bad faith.

Outside of gender topics, I personally have very much appreciated your contributions to the site in my comparatively short time here so far. Thank you. We have desperately few Global South voices here, never mind leftist ones, so that is a treasure, and I want this to be a welcoming space for such voices, so we can be exposed to more & more of them.

But this must also be a welcoming space for women. Because we’re intentionally not belligerent toward intellectually honest, good-faith liberals, creeping bourgeoisified feminism & CRT will sometimes surface contradictions between these two goals, which in my mind shouldn’t otherwise contradict. I don’t mean to imply that I’m an expert in this area, but I don’t think you’re equipped to resolve those contradictions, and I’m not sure you’re trying to. Whether or not they come from manosphere/MGTOW brainworms, your takes sound like they are, and we can’t have that.

And what I later actually defended TAJ against in this post was accusations of being an actual pedophile, for which I was censored.

If people want to ban one (or two) lemmy.ml admins because it isn’t run the same way as hexbear, just ban us all, or defederate. But that’s a whole separate trial from a pedophilia witch hunt.

Edit to add a link to last month’s tongue-lashing that I quoted above: https://lemmy.ml/post/15667745/11054847

Usually I’m not interested in what made-up people make-believe look like unless it somehow drives the plot or develops the characters’ relationships.

:shocked-shocked-well-not-that-shocked:

Theory: By virtue of trans people being oft-accused of pedophilia by transmisiacs, they are hyper-aware of it, hypersensitive to it, and well-educated on it, at least compared to a crusty old cishet like me.

But nutomic (an admin) and davel (an admin and hexbear user) has been defending him in the comments.
They should go too, wtf

Why I Left the Left.

I didn’t see him defending pedophilia. I saw him:

• Being anti-AI, because he saw this kind of problem—AI-generated CSAM—coming a mile away.
• Believing that AI-generated CSAM does not harm children, which sounds like a shit take to me.
• Believing that AI-generated CSAM is exclusively a libel/slander issue, which also sounds like a shit take to me given the above. I don’t know anything about English common law or Indian (where Anonymouse lives) law on this topic, and I know close to nothing about US/Canadian/European law on it.
• Believing that CSAM (AI-generated or otherwise) is often used as an easy attack on political opponents, because it’s a third rail. c/the_dunk_tank seems to be lending evidence to this today.

I think the Lemmyverse is the first place I ever even heard of the term “Child Sexual Abuse Material,” which AFAIK until recently was called child/kiddie porn. I haven’t been in a position to have to pay attention until now.

I said that I suspected you might be a Global North chauvinist, because brand new users who claim to be communists often turn out to be just that.

The guy is a misogynist; of that I have no doubt and have called him out on it publicly before. His weird take on AI-generated CSAM is a new one for me, though.

Some people are learning from the Gaza genocide right now who previously were either too young or too indoctrinated to have learned from the War on Terror like I did.

we need a total and complete shutdown of oligarch sperm entering these uteri until we can figure out what’s going on

Sure you can. Take my wife, please!

Hannah Arendt defined it while on the CIA’s payroll.

It helps to assume this is a bit.

Dr. Chandra, will I dream?

I’d never heard of David Draiman or his band before.

David Michael Draiman was born to Jewish parents in the Brooklyn borough of New York City on March 13, 1973. His father, YJ, had worked as a real estate developer and small-business owner before he was arrested for embezzlement and sent to prison when Draiman was 12 years old. YJ would later become a candidate in the races for Mayor of Los Angeles in 2013, 2017, and 2022.

After high school, he spent a year studying at the Yeshivas Neveh Zion in Kiryat Ye'arim on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

In 2019, he described former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters and other activists seeking to boycott Israel for alleged human rights abuses as "Nazi comrades".[21]
