I say this in the hopes Lemmy does not have them. Being too in favor of punching fascists should not result in a person being unable to participate in one of the largest forums on the internet. In fact, I'll go out and say, any behavior that would normally be bigotry or authoritarianism is immediately justifiable if its against fascists. Yes, I am venting because my 9th account got shadowbanned for ban evasion, how can you tell? If a person gets banned, they'll probably delete the account, When you then ban the new ones for evasion that is impossible to appeal, obvious fucking trap

So I was watching a MInecraft youtuber tour their forever world, and remembered r/liminalspaces was a subreddit I enjoyed and I could join it here on Lemmy. I'm high, and this led to a thought

Often in the community there are those who feel nostalgic for the old versions of the game. What this means specifically seems to vary between individuals but alot of them sight pre-1.0. You can find any number of diatribes as to why they prefer the old, often mechanics like sprinting, beds, and hunger are discussed. But a somewhat common theme is the commenting on a sort of "vibe" the game is now missing with the abundance of structures and biomes. And I've realized, what they're describing is liminality.

For those who don't know, a liminal space is one which instills a sense of nostalgia and longing, often these are populated transitional spaces (think the airport, or a school hallway) rendered devoid of life and often in a somewhat abandoned state.

This perfectly describes this older perio

Lemmy is a smaller site than Reddit, even before taking into account federation. So I cast a wide net here. A lot of specific popular shows like Futurama have dedicated communities, but I thought it'd be fun to have a generalized one

I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open.

You never see the inverse. There is no ConservativesofTiktok getting churches harassed into shutting down for the day or calling in threats. You don't see cringey boomer memes on the left. And whenever I openly express those feelings, try to create that sentiment; I get shut down. Noone agrees, I'm often shamed and muted. I just don't understand why that parity exists, it's extremely isolating to feel so alone in this

Some people feel the term is outdated. They say this while parading around what to me seem oxymorons, like "non binary women" or "he/him lesbians".

When a lot of these people say they aren't comfortable with their gender, I notice they often mention things like clothes, makeup, hobbies. More generally, they seem to talk about gender roles- masculine and feminine- than something to do with their bodies.

Here's the fact of the matter. Bathrooms, pronouns, legal documents; they aren't referring to any of that. They're referring to what's in your pants, or if you have boobs, or grow facial hair. Most people, myself included, don't care if you wanna wear clothes or behave in a way assigned to the opposed sex (there are folks who do of course, and most of us here know they're assholes). But unless you're changing something about that, it doesn't warrent a change in your pronouns or documents or bathrooms. As much as my own rights are under threat, I can't help but sympathize with the folk
