I came over when gender critical was banned.

And I stay because the atmosphere here is better than the pressure cooker which is a site full of women all pretending to be just to good for this cruel world.

Also I'm not scared by guilt by association like many who come from reddit so I have no problem in chatting with anyone. You should have seen the freakouts when GC first moved here and they had some of their beliefs challenged for the first time.

TumblrInAction did the same. That was funny seeing them complain about Holocaust denialism on the front page. Like, guys, that's the whole reason you had to come here, we can say things you're not allowed to elsewhere.

Exactly. Nobody is forcing you to interact with Holocaust deniers. Except that now you have to option to do so, only if you want to.

It's one of the hidden benefits of being exiled, you have you eyes opened to a lot of new possibilities. When you see that only certain narratives are allowed to be considered, it makes you wonder why, and what else is like that.

Also, people are friendlier here than reddit.

Definitely much friendlier than Reddit.

Ew my gosh there are actual nazis here, how to we clear them out? Fumigate?

How about make good arguments if you think people are wrong.

Good on you for sticking around. If your opinions remain the same after they’ve been challenged, then that means you have confidence in your beliefs.

Or just a stubborn mule.

I’m stubborn too. I keep quiet about my opinions nowadays, but I still hold opinions most of my family and coworkers would be horrified to hear that I hold.

My sister once outed me as a terf to her lefty boyfriend to shit stir.

He was quite annoyed with me and made a few snarky comments but decided to do the sensible thing and read up on the arguments before fully taking me on over it.

Then I never heard a word about it from him again, lol.

Good for you and your sister's boyfriend. It was mature of him.

Another honorable trait.

They aren't. jet199 is turning into a decent human being.

The echo chamber is a double edged sword. I bet a lot of them ran back to live in ignorant bliss.
