"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Saying that the topic of "caring about transgender and LGBT issues" is promoted by the bourgeois is clearly not intended to indicate they respect those communities concerns.
The "men in women's sports" thing is just straight up transphobic, sexist misinformation.
It shouldn't need to be explained, but using "trans" as a label to attack a woman to delegitimize her sporting victory is just a hot mess of issues.
Eh, yes and no
The subject is still debated, and there's no clear scientific consensus, even though the lemmy community will make you believe so
There is absolutely scientific consensus. Trans females do not perform as physically as well as males. It is pure fragile masculinity (read weak baby bitch boi) behavior to hate on trans people in sports.
Why do you support weak baby bitches?
When under hormonal treatment only, and that wasn’t my point anyways. I was obviously comparing transgender women vs cisgender women, and there’s no consensus on this. If you do have one I would be glad to check
And don’t throw a random worthless study, like something with a jokingly low sample size
Instead of insulting, use facts and logic. Else it’s just pathetic debate manipulation
"joking low sample size", what like the jokingly small number of trans people in professional sports?
This is a non-problem you fucking dumbass bigots LOVE to get tripped up on just because you need someone to hate. Fucking grow up already, this shit is beyond pathetic.
You love spreading lies, don’t you? I’m not transphobic, I’m just telling facts. Now, if you shape and make up the facts around your beliefs, then that’s your problem
Quit talking on a subject you’ve clearly done zero research in. We don’t need misinforming ultraprogressive people as much as we don’t need misinforming bigots.
Ahahahaha I know more about sports performance than you'll ever know, bigot. You latching on to a few half-truths to justify your hate is both pathetic and self-defeating.
Just because you can type out the word 'bigot' or 'ultraprogressive' in reply doesn't make it true. Your inability to argue your own points is hilariously indicative of your lack of thought in general, let alone your inability to undersrand nuance.
