Marxism, depending on the audience.

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.

Report being raped without being laughed at.

Family court. Prison time. Homeless assistance. Failing education rates for boys. And on and on.

There’s a huge amount of topics in β€œmen’s rights”

Anything veganism (positive)

Or negative, depending on the crowd. It's just a polarising topic.

Vegetarianism seems to be creeping towards acceptance, though.

I feel like I’m not good with words, so when I criticize popular things like Baldur’s 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.

Try talking about Return to Office around the workplace and watch everyone get quiet real quick

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.

[–] random@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I guess so, it's just that if I say I support the right to own a gun, I get downvoted in most communities

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

Happened to me once. Nearly killed my desire to discuss firearms here on Lemmy. Not sure if this is true, but I feel that most people on Lemmy are likely anti-gun. Maybe the more liberal mindset of many people in the wider open source community has some part in it. Either way, I just want to dispel all the false claims about guns and their ownership. And some don't want to hear it.

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.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Did you look at the modlog? They're open here.

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