    If you’d ask me when I joined a communist internet board how many anime catgirls and femboys I’d see, I’d probably say 0. Yet, I’ve lost count already.

      It’s the internet.
      You’ll find catgirls and femboys on nazi forums.

        I think once you realize that the world hates you for trying to be happy, you hit a fork in the road:

        • Turn back the way you came. Blindly hope the modicum of liberal “acceptance” will last long enough that you don’t suffer at the hands of extremists. Get frustrated with libs who tokenize you and see you as more of a pet minority than a person. Accept it anyway as the best you’ll get.
        • Veer right. Adopt an aesthetic of “no wait, I’m actually one of you, see?” While putting on a cute nazi uniform to blend in with the colonizers. Most of those people seem to be desperately looking for affirmation that they’re not horrible d—nerates and will pressure others into their aesthetic.
        • Veer left. Buy 200% into Communism/Anarchism after reading a bit of revolutionary feminist literature or internet posts, because it looks like the only path you can take that’s not a soulless, suffocating, status-quo violence machine.

        At least once a week I see a new “trans people ruined feminism”, “trans people are invading our public spaces”, “trans person attacked outside of bathroom”, “trans people want to molest kids”, “embarrassed chud murders trans girlfriend after being seen with her in public.” It really wears you down after a while.

          Huh I never thought about that but it makes perfect sense.

          I like seeing people post these pics lol. It’s good to see people feel accepted in this space. My post was meant to be read like: it’s such a random thing for a seemingly serious topic.

          Hope I didn’t offend anyone as it was not what I meant.

          Sucks to still see this much hate against trans people.

            The other sad thing is you know that, on some level, THEY know this. You will never see one of them at some fash gathering, some proudboy parade, because they know if they were there they’d be harassed at the very least. Probably assaulted. Potentially worse.

    You can only pick one choose wisely (Gorbachev edition).

      I remember as a kid thinking Pizza Hut is sh*t. It’d just be there I’m the store taking up space and being greasy and gross. No one would go for it. And as kids we don’t usually have great taste.

    The cat girl can push things off high shelves. The USSR only damaged capitalism like that with Lenin or Stalin at the helm.

        I feel this sort of joke is more or less poking fun at fashy great replacement rhetoric by neo-nazis, a not insignificant proportion of which worryingly and at times unironically advocate for bringing back the Volksgemeinschaft. In pre-war Nazi Germany, single women and childless couples were taxed for holding jobs as part of a program to give loans to people with children. Women who had “racially impure relations” were paraded through the street and sent to concentration camps. And immodest clothing was forbidden. Men weren’t explicitly given wives by the state, but every social and financial pressure imaginable was placed on women who did not conform to the image of the ideal aryan housewife. These pressures would have pushed women to settle for relationships they wouldn’t have considered otherwise.

        The USSR had a similar policy of taxing the childless, but it only affected childless men (including bachelors) and childless married women. Thus, the financial pressure was on men to find a wife (not ideal, but the cost tapered off over the years), whereas women could be and often were fairly sexually liberated until settling down with a partner.

        I don’t think any serious socialist or communist doesn’t consider women’s liberation a huge part of the cause.

        What about body pillows?

          Depends on the body pillow.

          Sexy anime waifu pillow = sad

          Big pillow = happy

          Maybe that’s unfair though, idk. Like there’s definitely something objectifying about them, but then again you could say that about literally any commodity that depicts women. At least body pillows are nice and comfortable, and afaik they help some people with their back and/or sleep problems. If someone has a body pillow and it just so happens to have their anime waifu on it, who am I to judge them? Then again, then again, if you’re the type of person to get a waifu body pillow I’m pretty sure you’re also the type to hump it and pretend it’s your girlfriend. Then AGAIN then again THEN AGAIN so what? It is just a pillow, and if it can make a lonely person feel a bit less lonely then that’s a good thing as far as I’m concerned. But also like what does that say about society?

          … does that answer your question?

    No I don’t like this. Feels sexist somehow. No I won’t elaborate. Cause I can’t. Just feels bad. Maybe I’m just hyper-aware of misogyny and everything even remotely associated with it lately. Am I hYsTeRiCaL??? No but seriously, am I?

            Your questions are truly baffling. No, your society is also misogynist. Asking why systemic oppression of women exists is complicated. The fact you’ve never even heard a feminist talk about it surprises me.

            Head to the feminist Lemmygrad community to ask basic questions. I’m too much of an asshole to educate you.
