here’s the exchange that resulted in the ban:

5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

I’m gay, trans, and an anarchist. I thought the post title was misogynistic, objectifying, and not a good example something that should be in a ‘queer friendly’ space.

Not everyone is okay with sexual degradation humor, misogynistic comments, etc, even if it’s about people you disagree with. Pointing that out in this case got me called a homophobic tankie and banned within minutes of making the post.

    PTB 100%. It’s not hard to see the association between being anti-misogyny and being pro-queer. It’s not conflating the two as being the same thing. Mod reasoning seems intentionally dishonest

    I mean, the guy is very vocal about virulently hating “tankies” and has horseshoe theory brain worms, which means that you’re a (“red”) fascist, which gives him license to boot you for just existing.

    I feel like the mod was looking for an excuse here. I am not sure this is misogynistic per se, but definitely using a slur for “bottoms” (of any gender) to malign your ideological enemies is problematic and probably reinforcing patriarchy and toxic masculinity.

    On the other hand people in here going all “of course I’m not surprised they’re sexist, since they’re anti-ML” is some weak kick-them-during-the-pile-on shit given how there’s hordes of patriarchy-lovingly homophobic Marxists (in fact I’d argue that’s most of them, comparatively)

      hordes of patriarchy-lovingly homophobic Marxists

      sadly I am familiar with the trope, mostly from other spaces than here though. plenty of ‘old guard’ Marxist parties irl do suck in that exact way for example.

      that is why I don’t have much tolerance for ‘patriots’ of any affiliation and call shit out when I see it.
