It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

    1. Like another person said, Too much US defaultism!
    2. Too many feminists and feminism (not saying I think women are lower than men in any way though, I just don’t support “feminism” because most modern feminists support pornography which I think is definitely not something feminists should support)
    3. Too many transgenders and people who support LGBTQ+ community (I don’t support these at all but I don’t misbehave with them either)
    4. The anime community and that it’s so small here

        OP is banned for violating rule one. But he is banned from different instances and channels.

        Who banned him? I cant see that, which is one thing I don’t like about lemmy.

        1. Be nice and; have fun

        Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

        OP was asked about what he doesn’t like. He answered, in a polite way and is banned. The comment above insults him and isn’t banned.

        I understand that it makes sense to ban anti-trans opinions but I would prefer if people don’t have to hide their true feelings if they are respectful about it and don’t hate.

          There isn’t a non-hateful way to say that you hate a minority group. I told off a bully for being a bully. Those two things aren’t the same.

            He didn’t say that he hated transgender people. As far as I am concerned I wouldn’t call him a bully either. There was no hassling or suppression.

              He said that there are “Too many transgenders” on Lemmy…

              If I walked into a restaurant and loudly proclaimed “There are too many Blacks here!” I shouldn’t be surprised if all the black people in the room got upset.

              You’re either acting in bad faith, or you’re deeply naive

                A similar situation would be if you are a regular guest and the owner asks why you don’t come more often. You tell him, while you mention that you don’t complain, that you don’t feel totally at home in a black dominated environment.

                Of course that offends some people but it shouldn’t. There are cultural differences and it would be strange to be indifferent towards them. People choose their restaurants depending on the other guests. That determines how waiters treat them, how the food is prepared and other things.

                If you lie and say that you miss a live band, would you come more often if the owner made the investment?

                Now, if I am not mistaken, the curious thing about trans people is that they don’t want to be their own thing but be treated the same as any men or women.

                In that sense the comment is offensive because noticing the existance of trans people is what causes dysphoria and feels bad, as far as I understand it.

                In a regular post I can support that dysphoria comments should be removed because comments are for having a good time.

                However in this post the comment is constructive feedback. It’s still possible to remove the comment but it incentivizes people to lie.

                Of course, the obvious solution, to remove trans people and their comments, is not acceptable. But I think that there was an opportunity to figure out what OP felt bad about and to help him not to be bothered.
