MODERATORS
There was a post about proportional representation in media. I pointed out that if a group of people are a minority, then it's perfectly normal for them to also be a minority in the media, if we are to represent reality.
I was genuinely participating in the discussion and wasn't using harsh language or anything.
I got a message from a mod saying I am wrong, and if I write another post trying to discuss or defend my point of view, I will be banned for lack of empathy.
Those places are toxic as fuck
"They won't even let me spew blatantly bigoted talking points on their forums, how toxic of them!"
Sort of just seems like math too me. If a basket has apples and oranges in it, but far more are apples then oranges, it's safe to assume you'll see more apples when you look in the basket. Doesn't mean the oranges aren't just a good as the apples, there's just more apples.
it is not blatantly bigoted. It's just a fact that applies to all minorities.
I see more people in wheelchairs in my day to day life than I do lgbtiq people, albeit still only a few. Both exist. both are a minority and both are not that way by choice. I don't hear wheelchair bound people complaining that there should be a lot more wheelchair bound tv and movie characters. It's not like there aren't any (professor X, for example), but there aren't much, just like real life.
Yeah you have to love sites which advertise themselves as being open to discussion and yet they are anything but that.
These people just want an echo chamber. It's funny too because these same people have been accusing right wing groups for years of living in an echo chamber where no new ideas ever enter. And they are totally correct in that. Right wing subs on Reddit are toxic as fuck (I assume if any exist on Lemmy, they'd be the same). But these typically left wing groups online are almost as bad. God forbid you have a perfectly valid point.... nope. They won't allow it.
