if an ilx beef threatens to take over a perfectly innocent thread you can politely direct people here.

sometimes i think wcc really comes from a good place and rightfully and deservingly calls people out for being genuinely misogynist or sexist. but then she turns around and posts threads fetishizing yorke before flipping out when someone dares to refer to a female musician as "attractive".

but i have a penis so i'm just mansplaining here, sorry guys

? i said they hate each other!

xp oh jon don't even

Are we done here? Can we please be done here? Especially now with the popcorn.gifs coming out.

oh i'm sorry for calling a bullshit double standard

xp oh yeah, there is genuine misogyny, I believe that. But when you find it everywhere I get such a 'boy who called wolf' vibe that drives me insane, because it undermines all of us.

mansplaining? has this turned into another thread about shaving your balls?

them hating each other is prob a. not even true b. not v informative as far as understanding what happened!

mansplaining? has this turned into another thread about shaving your balls?

when a male poster says something wcc doesn't like, she asks them to stop "mansplaining" things to her

i agree with jon that men's rights are under attack and it isn't fair

Beef curtains is literally the worst euphemism in all the world. Let's just move on if only to prevent anyone else from using it. PLEASE?!

OH KEVIN GTFO

sorry but I don't really think that's what he was saying

i don't know how helpful it is to chime in here, neither do I really want to stand around not saying anything, so... Anyway, I've had similar confrontations with WCC in only the last couple of weeks - ones which have escalated extremely rapidly from polite thread conversation > assumed insinuation > belligerent and wilful misunderstandings > aggressive accusations > seeing myself being bitched about on Twitter, and while it's frustrating and upsetting to be accused of advocating misogyny/sexual abuse/and more because of some minor incompatibility of views on some band or other, seeing it aired in places outside of ILX is, well it's pretty shocking when you come across it.
What I'm more concerned about is why this seems to be happening so often. I've met and gotten along very well with WCC in the past (several years ago now) - she's a thoroughly nice person IRL and I'm therefore alarmed at the way some of these beefs appear to escalate. It's never been my intention to cause pile-ons or act like (too much of) a dick on this board, and somehow I still end up in that maelstrom - being called out for pretty much anything I post that doesn't quite jibe with the poster's particular point of view. I love a heated and healthy debate, but when labels and accusations are thrown around in a personal manner, it goes from fun to sad very very quickly. When a poster's genuine attempts to make peace and get back on track with a thread are immediately thrown back in their face with even uglier accusations, that's the tipping point where the issue has to be addressed (as on this thread) - especially when it's not only disrupting the flow of conversation but actively upsetting other people and even putting a mark on their character, usually undeserved.

I love that mordy is trying to defend himself about not being a misogynist when his twitter avatar is a CRYING WOMAN

i do not however agree with jon's previously stated advocacy of race war

eh look it was my impression that mordy didn't like or respect WCC very much before this and they had bad history here.

but this isn't even something i should be butting into, in my opinion, so i'm going to drop it.

xxp it's alice, u illiterate

; )

oh dear god

I am so sorry.
