The subjects that you can’t even bring up without getting downvoted, banned, fired, expelled, cancelled etc.
The left lane, and how no, it’s not for going as fast as you want to drive.
Thank you, even if the some people believe there is a specific lane to constantly edge ahead of poor slow drivers, that is not the ideal lane to be the fastest car in. People merge on from left a lot more than you notice. I live in a city that has a nearly equal amounts of merges from left.
- “Why doesn’t this site have more in common with reddit, which it’s literally 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
OOL on hexbear people
As a lesbian trans person I like the words dyke and tranny, but only use it for myself. They’re funny and cute. I was honestly surprised to learn that people are so deeply against the words.
Digital piracy not being an immoral crime (or crime at all) and not making one a horrible person.
Social Justice Warriors forcing their agenda and worldview into languages, movies, books, and games, and cancelling everyone who did something regrettable in the past.
I’m not a huge fan of cancel culture either, but I’ve not paid a cent to any artists’ work that I love in my whole life, so I feel I can justify my position by holding up my hands and saying “hey, I don’t fund their lifestyle. Never have, never will.”
Can I have any examples of such things?
On lemmy?

Hey, by the way, your comment was kinda racist

I’m a new user and why isn’t this more like reddit

I’m pretty okay with capitalism, actually

Here’s video without text summary (NB: this one is, IMO, entirely deserving of downvotes)
+ Here’s video without text summary
I really don’t get why people get so upset about that. We don’t get summaries on Youtube either but still watch the videos.
There’s just something off-putting about a text based forum getting video content.

Paedophilia as a sickness, especially non-offending paedos.
I’d call it a cultural artifact. We used to get married very young. In some cultures the kids are introduced to sex by the grandparents. And of course in our own culture the ideal of sexy beauty is a supermodel who looks like a 13 year old boy. It’s a whirlwind wrapped in a psychosis for sure.
Anything pro-suicide
Oh that is a good one. Thanks.
“ChatGpt is really good if you use it properly”
Gets torrents of down votes every time. But I literally use it a lot at work and it’s brilliant.
As a senior engineer I’ve used it only once — it’s a start. I’m eager to see what occurs in the next 20-30 years with it, assuming it doesn’t become the next global mis/disinformation machine.
I hesitate to say
Close enough. Ban him.
All drugs should be legal and regulated.
Is it worth it, drug warriors? All the unnecessary deaths at the hands of police/gangs/cartels and unregulated drugs of a unknown potency? Was it worth sacrificing all our civil liberties on the vain funeral pyre that is the United States of America?
When humanity is victorious in the drug war and all drugs are legalized, will drug users criminalize sobriety?
Will people high as fuck demand everyone to piss in a plastic cup to make sure they are high?
Will drug users ruin sober people’s lives with felonies and time in prison with hardened criminals?
Will drug users dissolve civil liberties and prop up a bipartisan police state that gives cops a license to kill?
NO!
Who would want to do that to someone? To a fellow human for doing what they want with their own bodies? Prohibitionists… that’s who. And we are not them
Nothing lasts forever drug warriors. Tick tock. We will be free one day, and you will wail and moan and your cries will fall on deaf ears.
Get fucked prohibitionists. Feel fortunate we want justice, not retribution.

Add some jalapeño as well to take it to another level
