Bright side of Lemmy, you can say fuck. Downsides include, death of nuance, dogpiling, herd behavior and people who try to take down others.

Lmao, this post is about you. Literally.

Did you like, Just get unbanned or something? Coming back after two months to revive old threads, with accusations of people being biased.

Being raped is beyond horrible, clearly, no matter the gender relationship. Going to an anti-rape protest with a sign invalidating rape victims is fucked up too.

And, Where am I guilty of what you are doing? Where am I making excuses for rape apologists and sexists statements?

Funny how you jump into assumptions and justifications for her without knowing a thing about her other than her gender and the signpost she has, yet wag your finger at another victim for having a reaction to a message invalidating a ton of rape victims, and also lumping them in the same group as their abuser, as if it was an inherent, genderlocked flaw.

If you don’t see that as a double standard, then you should really read my last paragraph again and reevaluate your biases.

Fucking finally. It is a well known bias in academia, which is sadly, very difficult to prove without studies like this one.

There is regular, for-profit business, and then there is EA/Microsoft/Amazon level for-profit.

The complete disregard for their employees, massive firings for “AI powered optimization”, the use and abuse of dark pattern methods(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern), are some of the things that I haven’t yet head of from Steam.

Sure, ultimately Steam is a capitalist business, but it could be much, much worse.

Same for “lost media” kinda stuff. I would usually find Torrents with seeds for obscure bands from my dad’s old country, that he loves listening to, but nowadays, all that stuff is gone, and no way to purchase the bootleg of a concert in Eastern Europe, in 1992.

Hell, even official albums are hard to get, with being out of press, the rights being lost to the ages and stuff like that. Even with music from when I was young, and I’m not even 40.

Last time I ranted about it, people told me to just find the stuff on YouTube and download it from there, it was atrocious.
