I'm so glad I found Lemmygrad because that post and the shit being said over there is just too much for me to fucking handle.

Wow, you take a couple steps away from social media. And then occasionally peel back the curtain to see what you left behind. And you don't regret leaving one bit.

I genuinely can't tell if Reddit and Dot World are just a bunch of fucking teenagers who have never experienced any arguments in life whatsoever, or if they're all just mentally deranged.

Dot world is just the people who left reddit (because they "hated reddit") and then proceeded to do everything that makes reddit shit in the first place.

The meme is faring poorly on lemmy.ml as well, which is depressing af.

Yeah, I saw that. Imagine being exactly the sort of person this is making fun of and trying to "umm acktually" about it.

these are the types of people to say “you wouldn’t survive a COD lobby” meanwhile women go through through they encounter on a cod lobby on a regular basis

I wonder if people like that ever talk to actual women. 'Yeah this racist gamer dude totally insulted my mother online'

Meanwhile all women I know irl have been stalked in the middle of the night, attacked, sometimes raped even. Gamers wouldn't survive a nanosecond as a woman.

Like, I went to an unlimited spaghetti night at a local bar this evening. Afterwards I went home and while walking I decided to take a short cut of like 500m through a pitch black park with no lights. Didn't even hesitate.

Meanwhile my gf who is currently out with a group of friends asks me to keep my phone on at the loudest volume until she comes home just in case some guy is harassing her on the way home. Like, I can't comprehend having to deal with that 24/7 while being out.

Much like a rich person living as any poor person, I’d like to see your average Joe, hell, any of these tough macho men types put up with even half of the utter vileness and inhumanity I’ve dealt with in my life. It would break them in a day.

I looked this up on Urban Dictionary and I still have no idea WTF it is.
