In reply to the discussion: The chilling effect of misogynistic trolls [View all]Android3.14
(5,402 posts)Over and over, the same few posters label people who support feminist goals and equality as misogynistic trolls simply because they express a lack of outraged urgency over issues of eye rape, sexual fetishes of S&M/B&D, pornography in general, slut shaming and other behaviors that barely register on other people's radar.
The DU people about which some posters are complaining would never even register on the fark.com misogyny radar.
While there may be some people here with outdated attitudes regarding women's issues, they are mild and require a response from the DU admins about as much as they should respond to lacto-ovo vegetarians who decline to embrace the full-blown vegan lifestyle. Somehow I suspect the issue at fark.com is much-much worse, along the same level as the racist comments on the wilson crowd funding effort that prompted the administrators on the facebook page to end commenting.
It is fine to be the star of the drama of your life, but why do some people have to be the star of the drama of everyone else's life? Sometimes folks just have to have their outrage, and if other's don't share it, then that just adds to their outrage.
