  • Wouldn’t a tankie instance have more women?

    Your response seems almost defensive, which is weird. Lemmy is definitely overwhelming male. That’s not an inherently bad thing, so I don’t get the defensive tone here or taking OP to task about data methods.

    Disagree all you want, but this website is incredibly male dominated. I don’t think OP needs to do a peer-reviewed, double-blind study to say so.


  • People are downvoting cuz OP said this site is becoming misogynistic plus OP didn’t include the right “sample size.”

    But can we be fucking honest? This website is incredibly male dominated. Like why are we arguing this? I woulda figured it was closer to like 95% male users…

    And many folks (read: men) on this website don’t like calling out the reality that these heavily male-skewed outlooks can be misogynistic. Like, yeah, you bring tons of men in a room with no women, people will start to say misogynistic shit. It’s not reddit-level bad, but I’ve definitely noticed it.




  • It’s not that I have any blind loyalty to Nintendo or anything like that. I don’t, and I’ve been pissed at many of their recent business decisions.

    But the world is so unbelievably shit rn, and watching folks come out of the woodwork for the past few months to shit on Nintendo, call for boycotts, dunk on fans of Nintendo games has been a lot…

    So like this? I love this news. So fucking much. I’ve been dealing with depression and family issues and potentially losing my job and my country going full fascist—so video games are one of my only brightspots. And people have made it so fucking negative to be a Nintendo fan. So I just love this middle finger to the haters. Not only were your boycotts a failure, the haters prolly gave Nintendo news-coverage and hype by bitching about it so much.

    And what was Nintendo’s big sin anyway? For being a corporation in a capitalist system and maximizing profits, like each and every other for-profit corporation does? Nintendo has done nothing that Microsoft, Sony, Apple, etc. hasn’t also done. So it’s been so fucking frustrating seeing hate thrown to one of the few corporations that hasn’t been fully enshittified and still makes quality products.

    Nintendo isn’t perfect. By any means. But they make great products, they aren’t doing straight up evil shit (like Google), and they primarily provide fun games for children. Of all corporations to target, Nintendo really doesn’t deserve the hate campaign.

    Moral of the story: don’t yuck people’s yum. Anyways—rant over! Enjoy your Switches and Switch 2s, fellow gamers!








  • Are you serious!? First of all, Haunter is indeed S-tier design, but so is Gengar???

    Here’s a list of a FEW middle evos who have far better designs than their first/last evos: Wartortle, Dragonair, Arctibax, Dolliv, Rhydon, Dottler — I could go on….!

    Am ready, willing, and able to fight to the death over these opinions, so come at me!!!







  • These deaths are policy choices by lawmakers who value ‘business’ over people’s lives. There is no justification whatsoever to licensing someone who drove drunk and killed someone.

    This isn’t fucking hard. It’s simple: if you drive drunk and hurt/kill someone, you permanently lose your license to drive. Forever. No exceptions.

    One of the main reasons people oppose these types of consequence is for business: people rely on cars to get to work, so if you ban a bunch of people from driving, employees can’t get to work, which is bad for business.

    It’s fucking sick. I’m so tired of living in a country where lawmakers put economic interests over people’s lives every. single. time. If it’s ever safety vs money—money always win every time. On so many fundamental levels, government in the US moves farther and farther away from serving the people, this is an example of that, and I’m fucking done. We need new governments; we need a new social contract.
