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.

Ah shit. I hope the snuff porn viewers are ok
Yeah, how heroic of the Russians to sell snuff videos to people, whom they use to spread far-right propaganda! Real communism (not what anarkkkiddies want) wins again!
I mean you weren't forced to buy them. We sent you that HD two-girls-one-cup tape. It was a fair deal. We even gave you a discount!
Why? Why should kinks be policed? I agree nonconsensual content shouldn't be posted online. But why is the person with a kink deserving of punishment for looking for that kink? A lot of times there is no way to know what content is consensual or not anyway - that's why I recommend supporting individual content creators for porn.
So viewing snuff is now a reason to be enslaved permanently and forced to betray your own country with lies? What?
Like JD Vance deserves to be tarantula hawk wasp'd by Russia because he likely viewed bestiality (dolphin/woman search history teased by Russia)? Or Tucker Carlson did something weird with dogs (see oddly teased story about how a demon scratched his back but it was actually his dogs) so now he has to be Putin's bitch forever? Trump raped kids so now he has to run for office and sell out the US and rob us blind? A bunch of these men are rapists trying to avoid the prison system and still out raping left and right. Part of what keeps people in gangs are the crimes they commit together as witnesses and insurance against each other.
Like I get that these are not okay things, but 1) viewing pre-recorded content privately isn't really harming anyone new as an isolated viewer 2) hosting and making the content is the biggest issue by far 3) we can't destroy our own society with sexual blackmail, this shit is losing proportionality 4) actual physical abusers get less severe sentences than what some of these blackmailed people have to do.
How do you think people get kinks? Do you think kinks can be changed? Do you think there is any kind of reliable science on how kinks are formed and how people can resist engaging in them?
Why are you focusing on the individuals when it's much more importantly an entire gigantic system? It's like a slavery online virus infecting people. Maybe Candace Owens loves lesbian piss sex and doesn't deserve to be forced into saying women shouldn't work or vote.
They should be jailed like we do abusers
Again, you're losing sight of proportionality. The punishment should fit the crime. Someone viewing illicit content should not be treated at the same level as someone making and hosting that content. Especially since it is a national security risk to do so and largely abusers and most of these people actually making and hosting the content walk freely anyway....!
Thanks for typing this out. This is exactly the shit that went through my head when they decided you need a porn license in the UK. I felt like a proper tinfoil-hat guy.
