  • Sure, the idea of being perfectly ethical or finding companies that are, is futile. But I was just talking about avoiding the big techno-fascist billionaire linked ones.

    Starting with the premise that there are more ethical companies, and less ethical companies - rather than looking for “ethical consumption under Capitalism”.

    If you start with such a high minded ideal then no one is going to bother. Let’s all just try to avoid the big shitty ones.











  • I think it’s a curse because it would be easier to not notice, or say anything… Like the alt-right kind of looks fun in the same way being irresponsible and selfish is fun. That’s what it means for me, it’s a curse because these discussions aren’t fun and don’t win upvotes.


  • I don’t think being aware of the landscape of violence against women and femicide makes me “superior”…

    … although I do find it very odd that saying I have trouble enjoying media that contains violence or suggestions of violence against women because of that awareness has gotten so many downvotes.

    I just feel it’s a difficult topic to get right.


  • Yeah, people keep thinking when I talk about violence against women, I’m talking about some comic or movie. I’m not.

    My comment was that I have trouble finding humor or fun in these things, knowing about the real world problems, yet that fairly moderate statement has received wide downvoting.

    Violence against women isn’t the same character of crime as violence against men, its not a crime where you (God like), can switch one gender out for another and have it play out to the same social/gendered beats, for the same social and cultural reasonings and circumstances.

    I’ve said elsewhere that it’s not the comic that bothers me, it’s the wider social issues that push or lead to violence against women and femicide.

    All that said, and perhaps more in line with what you’re asking (although my response probably won’t satisfy you): I’m not interested in redeeming or fixing the comic, or making it subversive. I’ll leave that to the content creators.
