Men's Group

because these games, around repeat disruptors, zombies, sock puppets and yes, the ever-popular "shared account" where a password is passed around like a note in the back of the class...

....they've been going on for a long time, on DU. They were known about on DU2. One good thing about the experiment which was meta, was that it allowed some very good documentation on these things to be done out in the open.

(In keeping with the idea that DU members are here to be "educated", right?)

So the radfem hub community is, maybe, 10 people tops. One or two of whom has repeatedly admitted to an obsession with trolling DU. The views and statements of the radfem hub bloggers, including the FCM blogger, are likewise well known. Again, to pretend that the extreme stuff in the comments of that one post are an outlier, are ridiculous- especially when at the top of her page right now there is an anti-trans post, and one of her favorite topics to rail on is the idea that women can't possibly ever enjoy intercourse with males, and any feelings women may have for men are merely a result of "trauma bonding".

To argue that any of this material belongs on DU, ever, is ridiculous- especially since, like I said, the history around this group is well known, as they were behind several very large meta threads last year. Likewise, given the fact that very few people pay attention to this group outside themselves, it's a little disingenuous to imagine that it's falling from the sky as "important internet Feminist commentary". If people think it's a coincidence that the material shows up repeatedly just like the repeat disruptors do, I have a bridge to sell them.

And if people are flailing all over themselves- again- to pretend that things like exposing blog posts where zombies and socks brag about repeatedly disrupting DU is somehow "overzealous troll hunting" like a dog with a bone... right, give me a break.

Or maybe ask why that is.

The dog part might be right.
