"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

MODERATORS
Unless you count the fact that trans people make up an incredibly small percentage of the population overall. ~~I'm sure OP wasn't thinking of that when he... Checks notes mentioned it explicitly.~~
Awesome. So next time I or no one else expresses literally any opinion whatsoever on how others live, we'll all be sure to... Continue not doing that.
Thanks again for your helpful feedback
Edit: op didn't mention the stat about trans people generally, that was from a comment im falsely remembering as op. But that doesn't change the point I'm making at all
Underrepresented minorities disproportionately join minority-centric social groups, that isn't surprising.
Ah yes, excellent proof of.5% changing to 50%.
Do you ever watch the NBA and think to yourself, "WOW, being taller than 6'4 is exceptionally rare! The odds that they are all here playing basketball together is simply unbelievable"?
A terrible analogy. There's nothing about using a particular Internet server that people are predisposed to having the ability to do.
There is if that server was made specifically by those people for that purpose, though.
First I've ever heard of that concerning hexbear but another great point. Literally everyone especially op knows that
"Most of us are trans"
"I don't believe you"
"Here's a demographic poll showing that we are indeed majority trans"
"That seems really unlikely, you must be lying or that poll must be wrong"
"Here's a detailed history of our origin explaining exactly why it isn't at all unlikely that we are who we say we are"
"Ah, forgive me for my error, I believe you now"
Literally none of that happened
We're in a version of that conversation right now bud
