I originally posted this as a reply to someone, but I want it in my own diary because the response I got within 2 minutes, legitimized everything said and I am appreciative of that individual: Let me try to explain this to you, even though it might be futile, as it has been in most cases, but whatever. I care too much to stay silent. Not once, ever, have I felt personally attacked with women speaking out against rape. Not when they have mentioned some men, many men, but when someone, and I don't care who it is, says _ALL_ men, you're damn right I am not going to accept being labeled a fucking rapist because of the actions of others and I am not going to accept that blatant lie. I am not going to sit quiet in the boat while being labeled something I hate with a fiery passion. Propaganda and deliberate divide creating bullshit between men and women where people on both sides, do nothing but spew their emotional terror, unfiltered, with completely lack of reality and then be surprised when people call them out on it, claiming they are protecting rapist or get labeled one themselves is completely out of touch with reality. This is the same as if someone were to say _ALL_ women are child murderers and child murdering protectors because of the whole clancy situation. Don't even come here and pretend that you wouldn't be up in arms and enraged if someone labeled you that because of a large group of women making some men come to the conclusion that every women is the same. Everyone at this point using the word "all" in front of a statement, know exactly what they are doing, the message they send and the hatred they create. I don't hate women for saying "all men" or all men saying "all women", but I am damn sure not going to respect it or them and I see right through their bullshit propaganda and their follow up of "Wow you didn't agree and stated such, you're one of them!" I care because they are creating more hate, they are creating more divide and that is also a lot of their end goal. It doesn't personally affect me, but it affect society as a whole and it has to an extremely destructive, unhealthy, abusive degree. Stop with the bullshit of speaking out against things that are factually wrong, makes you a bad person, it's deflection, propaganda and nothing but an attempt to silence everyone that doesn't want to be a part of their personal agenda. Here is the reply I got:

We live in a global society where facts do not matter. If someone says something intelligent, that is not the focus. The sole focus is WHO says it and HOW someone view them. If the source of something smart comes from a place that people do not like, they are more interested in finding anything in that person's past or personal flaws to discredit THEM as a person and therefor discredit ANYTHING that person says or does going forward. That leaves them with an absolutely wrongfully felt justification to not take the wisdom that was shared into account or even explore and investigate what was said at all and IF what was actually said is FACTUAL or TRUE. I take wisdom from anywhere, no matter the intent behind it, or who said it. I can legitimately hate a person to the end of existence, yet I will always analyze what a person tells me, if the words they are saying make any kind of sense, in any context and then do an objective review of it. I am not going to limit my own ability to learn and actually adapt just because knowledge is coming from a source I do not agree with, like or even hate. Knowledge and wisdom does not have to come from a place of intelligence, more often than not it will, but there is no rule that demands it to do so. Sometimes scum can say things that are intelligent, without having any idea they did and with no intent and it happens more often than people would ever want to admit because they confuse someone presenting actual knowledge or understanding of something as THEM being intelligent, that is not how it works. Sometimes scum can say things that are intelligent, because they understand those specific things, but don't care for or lack understanding of other basic and crucial things that makes them bad people. Instead of looking for ways to discredit information from places you don't like, do research, do deep dive analysis of what is said or claimed and find out for yourself if the information is ACCURATE, don't get blinded by the source. Humanity as a whole need to wake the fuck up and get our collective head out of our ass and stop trying to smell shit everywhere we go and stop trying to spread shit everywhere we go. You don't have to like someone to agree with what they say. You can support someone and still disagree with what they say. The enabling behavior of stupidity that leads to hatred, that eventually leads to evil and people becoming what they hate and in their own bubbles believe they are fighting righteously against needs to stop. People need to stop, look inward, self-reflect, see how much they themselves say and do on a daily basis that is crammed with bias instead of objective eyes.

There is something that really grinds my gears and quite frankly has for a very long time. The whole gender war situation with delusional people on both/all sides getting so much traction making what used to be uninformed/ignorant, yet normal people pick sides and in some ways become radicalized. All the content I see on these subjects, no matter who it is has a negatively loaded, propagandistic red thread. It doesn't matter if who makes the content don't agree with the negative and points it out, because the focus is all the bad, there is NO balance, unlike in actual real life. I still tend to believe that what I hear and see is the LOUD minority, more than the idea that the minority has already grown to become the majority. This loud minority is so enraged, delusional and out of touch with reality that whenever someone tries to point out they haven't experienced this or that, you're either a protector of some scum or some insane idea or YOU are out of touch. This is literally a case of you either die young or live long enough to not realize you've become what you initially hated and thought you were fighting against. There is a lot of bad, very few will deny that, but the reality is that there is more good than there is bad, there is just no one ever making content about it. You will always see things like "are men ok" "are women ok" "this is what women have become" "this is what men have become", always with a negative connotation and implication behind the propaganda. I am not saying creators deliberately do this for the sake of causing divide, although 100% a lot also do that. They have just figured that drama sells way more than a nuanced perspective or sanity for forbid a reality based positive perspective of things, so they lean towards what will make them the most money, what will make them the most popular. Then they can also play a holier than thou role of "what are these people doing, I am so glad I don't have to deal with any of this anymore" or "I am so much smarter than this and here is why" while they point out everything that is wrong (in some cases), but conveniently forget or are too ignorant to understand that this is not the normal. The normal is getting drowned out by angry, brain rotted propaganda filled LOUD clowns. Normal people stop talking about things because they get absolutely overran by these mentally unstable clowns and their agendas, getting labeled being this that or the other, when all they try to do is show that while these things do exist they are not the norm. There is so much propaganda and so much loud ignorance, stupidity and evil that if you only look at what is created, you'd believe the whole of humanity is like this. What is true is that the more this cancer is allowed to spread, the truer the statement that this is becoming the new normal, that this is slowly, but damn right surely becoming the majority of people because there is absolutely nothing to balance out all the hatred, ignorance or evil. These people live in bubbles and surround themselves on any side with people of the exact same brain rotted ideas of how things are. It's not small communities of echo chambers anymore, there are whole societies of them and it needs to stop. Creators that actually don't want this version of humanity to spiral even worse than it already has needs to start creating more wholesome content with the same things they focus everything negative on, to show that, yes some things are bad, but it's not all bad for everyone and it's not actually the normal. You hold way too much power at this point, and that is proven in the fact you probably, completely unknowingly (in most cases) have added to this absolute disastrous state of humanity with your influence. You don't understand the both healing and especially in today's world destructive power your words have. A large portion of your viewers are mindless zombies without basic capability of holding any opinion of their own, that is why they gravitate so heavily towards you in the first place, they like you, they are head empty and if they like you, they by default trust you and believe you. In a lot of cases it's the blind leading the stupid/ignorant. You have a responsibility by the power you've been given by the people following or looking up to you, to educate them on how things actually are, not what will sell the best. Right now, whether you're doing it on purpose or is absolutely clueless about the consequences of your actions, you are directly impacting and changing humanity to become worse. You might think you pointing out things that are insane about the negative you watch is the take away people will have from it, but what burns into people's mind is the absurdity and evil of people, not your words professing that YOU (seemingly) know better.
