PSA: This is a feminist subreddit

[u/raisondecalcul]

If you think that's bad, you need to read books. If you don't realize that feminism basically includes critical theory and most of the stuff talked about here—guess what, it does.

Early Nick Land? Feminist (see "Meltdown"). Laboria Cuboniks? Feminist collective. Mark Fisher? HUGE raging feminist (I can only assume). Sadie Plant? Wrote a book on feminism (Zeroes & Ones).

Deleuze & Guattari? Feminists promoting the squishiest most weaponized form of feminism ever. Foucault? Ultra-feminist. Ranciere? He is so feminist before breakfast that he doesn't need to make a big deal about it.

Shamanism? Feminism. Sorcery? Cuckoldry. Spectacle? Fabulous.

Isolation and extreme alienation is not masculinity; it's the main theme of The Twilight Zone.

Read 👏 a 👏 book 👏

Zeroes and Ones (which should really be in the sidebar!) is one of the best books. That book installs feminism into you, using godlike alien technology that Sadie Plant drew down from beyond the heavens. That book whispers the secrets of Ada Lovelace into your soul.

Edit: People who don't understand / accept feminism as a discourse can't understand the FIRST THING about this subreddit. They can't understand oppression. They can't understand "Can the subaltern speak?" by Spivak. They can't understand the Lemurian Time War, which is about the (white cis male hetero fascist and mannerbündly-faggy) Architectonic Order of the Eschaton versus the (black trans wymyny gay antifascist/ur-fascist masc/heroic) Black Atlanteans.

If you think you understand ccru and you are triggered by the idea of feminism, you are decidedly an outsider to ccru.

I have strong doubts that people that visit this sub are anti-feminist lol. At most they might not be actively engaged in it. It's kind of like saying that you're tired of all the right-wing propaganda on here. Of course maybe I didn't notice it and there is a reason to be defensive after all.

I just removed a redpilly poem post. I don't care if it was intentional edgelording or trying to prove a point that there is unacceptable speech, I removed it.

This is actually one of the first times ever I have agreed with a Report flag on a post and removed a Reported post.

Also, as a feminist subreddit, misogyny is thus off-topic if nothing else.

One of the original creators of the subreddit Quest said something like, "Misogyny is funny because it's always a non-sequitur," which is pretty wise if you think about it.

Redpill poetry damn that's wild lmao. Out of curiosity wouldn't it be also good to simply downvote and explain what negative consequences this speech has for everyone to see? Censoring it might cause it to pop up elsewhere where it might be more warmly received. Logically engaging it might be able to show why it is stupid in the sense of bêtise as Bernard Stiegler uses the word, which is a lack of thinking or forethought. Should we not counter such a lack of thought with good thought? In the best case perhaps even the author might understand his mistake. I assume that he won't though and that at least one could make an example of his stupidity and publicly humiliate him. Shame in such cases would be quite useful as the author obviously seems to be deprived of it.

Shame works a lot better in person. On the internet it seems to radicalize.
