It appears to be a rule against posting food made from animal products. As someone who doesn’t eat animal products myself, I don’t particularly enjoy scrolling Reddit or Lemmy and seeing a picture of a meat dish, but it doesn’t ruin my day I would never dream of demanding a content warning for it.
To my knowledge CWs are geared towards content that has the potential to trigger past trauma, and I can’t understand how a food category could be so broadly traumatic to someone (outside of EDs I guess, which is obviously not the focus of this rule).
I suspect it’s less of a trigger warning, and more of a means to reframe perceptions of food.
Like, if TV commercials just started putting little “viewers may find the following depictions of dead animals disturbing” stingers before a commercial of a family eating steaks, it might change perceptions over time.
Homelander drinking a consenting woman’s breast milk is disturbing and helps convince viewers he’s a creep. Yet if he were to enjoy a nice glass of refreshing cow breast milk, that would be completely normal. Why? Because our society has made a very deliberate choice not to consider there being anything wrong with milking a cow.
Hexbear simply does not participate in that choice. On Hexbear, there is something disturbing about milking a cow, and that’s because the admins want you to be disturbed by it. That has always been the default state of things.
The gif that’s typically shared is after he’s murdered her, and finds some in her office fridge. I wouldn’t hold it up as a textbook definition of consent.
We are a platform that welcomes anyone who wants to be here in good faith. With that said, we are also an intentionally leftist platform; conservative and reactionary ideologies will not be tolerated here.
They live in an idolgical bubble where contrary opinions are not tolerated, and dissent is shunned. The only voices they hear are leftist and extreme leftist voices shifting the Overton window of politics in their minds leading to radical beliefs.
It’s important to have your beliefs challenged at times, they lack that. If you can try and listen to voices from opposing view points, maybe even share your own in a respectful manner.
(This isn’t an issue particular to any side of politics, it also occurs in more right wing groups)
They’re trolls. Is most of the world supporting XYZ? We are suddenly against XYZ for reasons! Is someone giving actual real life reasons to support XYZ? We have to reply with emojis!
They’re very gang oriented. Once one of them declares an opinion the rest of them must follow it and defend it no matter what.
Two years ago I told a 16 year old to stop being friends with the person who raped my wife. Raddle believes it is child abuse to tell teens not to hang out with rapists. That’s because the head admin is a rape apologist.
I just checked and those rules are wild.
Posting a picture of a slice of cheese without a NSFW tag and a content warning is bannable but calling violence against large groups of people isn’t.
Holy hell that sounds like a parody community made by 4chan.
Yep and like 4chan It’s full of Russian propaganda. Just look at how many of their posts reference Ukrainian Nazis.
Also talks about “Da West” as much as Putin does.
Cheese?

Yeah, that’s exactly what it is.

Unfortunately trigger warnings got watered down very quickly, to now also being used as an “anything someone might find the slightest discomfort in”
I just don’t understand them. The users I mean.

I guess I’ve been really surprised at their support for Palestine.
I thought that the left would be less supportive of the more conservative religion
I don’t think they support Palestine as much as they oppose colonialism.
If that’s true it seems very reductive.

Honestly this answer most adequately explains their behaviour.
Good. Fuck all fascists. The allies who fought in WWII were heroes, and the farmers who rape cows are villains. This is a consistent ideology.
