E-girls in uniform have been used to promote the IDF, the US armed forces and now Ukraine’s military. I haven’t seen rhe Russians do it but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. This is a propaganda tactic. I’m sure OP just thought the cat was cute but it is important to know propaganda when you see it.

Welcome to the internet! We have bots and people who act like bots.

In all seriousness though, I think that this is just a flaw in the voting system and human behaviour. People like to go with the general concensus instead of thinking for themselves. It feels like people genuinely have difficulty in thinking about things and act as automatons a lot of the time. I also have a suspicion that bots are involved but I don’t have any evidence though it does seem to be a theory that has circulated on the internet for some time.

The vast majority of people do not see problems like this in an internet joke because they acknowledge it as such. I’m not here to “be a dick” or “discriminate/generalize based on gender/sex”; I saw a funny meme and posted it here. If anything the women in the meme are acting like normal people, the same way most people would while the men are busy being stupid. You claim that this mocks women while the boys are the punchline.

The users above, as far as I can tell, thought that the meme format was sexist and not me. I said “not everything has to be political” as a way of mentioning that this isn’t the sort of response that I expected and that I didn’t intend for it to be interpreted in this way. I do concede that the phrase “political statement” was not the most accurate one to use. Really I should have said that calling something sexist is a pretty harsh criticism to throw at a meme like this and left it there.

I’m also going to ignore your ad-hominem pseudo-psychological analysis of me where you imply that I posted this meme because of I supposedly lack close relationships with women.

I didn’t know that so thanks for telling me. I’m still gonna keep posting like there isn’t a score count though because it means that I am more free to say what I want.

As far as I can tell, there isn’t a place where the total number of points that you have as a user is displayed. This takes some value away from simply mindlessly pursuing points as points would be attributed more to the individual post rather than the user.

That’s unfortunate, at least we still have smaller instances. Things seem to be better there.
