@TaraBitha @Daojoan there’s one here in the thread who suggests that we need to go study how women are treated by other women in video games. It’s the only time I ever see men care about women being victimized, when they’re trying to deflect blame.

And I don’t even get what he was trying to say, is he trying to say that it’s OK that men do it to women because other women do it to women too? Or that it’s not that bad because everybody does it? That’s such gross justification I can’t even let my mind think that.

@maggiejk @Daojoan its deflection...

Its "you think a is bad, go look at c" and thus hoping that you don't look at them, so they can continue behaving like shit.
It is kinda how those people go through life..

Just to be clear, I'm offering an explanation for your observation, not questioning it ...

You'll see a lot more of that on loosely moderated servers like mastodon.social. If you don't want to hear from the cheap seats, there are plenty of mods who identify as feminist, queers, trans, etc, who smackdown hard on that stuff, on servers I describe as Level 3/4;
