Even without all the invasion of privacy implications, I’m skeptical it would even work. Source: 20 years of “Windows is checking for a solution to the problem” that has never worked even once.
I used to use a website where you could send a postcard to a randomly assigned address of another site member on there, and in return you’d get a postcard back from a different random member. One time I wrote the address too close to the stamp area so I could only fit one stamp up there, and had to put the remaining stamp postage at the bottom, and then I dropped it in a mailbox in town somewhere.
Japan Post missed the extra stamps at the bottom and so returned it to my house, despite it being a postcard with no return address to a random country I had no connection to. I lived in the boonies so there weren’t a lot of foreigners in town, but there were definitely at least a few others.
Well, it’d be more like “the 2nd was a proxy conflict over a figurehead after news networks were coopted by conservative billionaires and used for 30+ years to sow seeds of stochastic terrorism after laws regarding lying on TV were eliminated.”

Gotta love a 3.5+ hr podcast. Sounds like the time the Some More News folks did a “brief” look at Jordan Peterson for 3 hours. Good thing I commute 2 hrs a day and listen at 2.5 speed.
I don’t really understand how channels like these crank out so much content. I wrote a lot of essays in college but I think producing 20000 words every week would just about kill me.
I mean, Nintendo’s been around for over 100 years. As long as GabeN’s successor isn’t gonna sell the platform to any shit company for a bajillion dollars I don’t see why valve can’t make it at least one more generation.

That’s mostly overstated and you usually hear it from people who don’t speak Japanese who lived somewhere for a couple years teaching English after graduating college.
Now I’m curious as to how many foreign sports have native words. Pretty much baseball and ping pong I think, unless you want to call mountaineering a foreign sport.
A team of researchers, including Binghamton psychology professor Richard Mattson and graduate student Michael Shaw asked men between the ages of 18–25 to respond to hypothetical sexual hookup situations in which a woman responds passively to a sexual advance, meaning the woman does not express any overt verbal or behavioral...
Yet when it comes to making up two-word catchphrases like [HORRIBLE] [DEMOGRAPHIC], it never even occurs to them that people might associate [demographic] with [horribleness] when they hear it.
I don’t think anyone actually believes that-- it seems like you see it from bad faith actors online/in the manosphere. No one thinks someone who hates “big trucks” hates all trucks, or “crowded places” hates everywhere, or more to the point, that someone who wants to cut “toxic people” out of their life is going to never see another human. Yet somehow applying an adjective to “masculinity” makes it really easy to be misunderstood?
If the argument is that they should’ve come up with a phrase that’s less vulnerable to corruption by bad faith actors I might buy it, but I’m willing to bet that even something as specific as “overly performative aspects of how men express their masculinity because they squash their feelings and thus become dangerous to people around them, especially women” would still magically be “misunderstood” on the internet and reduced to “feminists say all men bad”.
Could you imagine trying to make any of these phrases academic terms?
That’s a good point, but (most) of your chosen identity aspects aren’t widely known for being accountable for negative things like violence. How about something like “dangerous republicanism” or “genocidal zionism”? Maybe if exaggerated (or even say, toxic) masculinity wasn’t being weaponized so much these days to lead young men toward alt right fascism it wouldn’t come up in academic settings.
But the truth is really that it doesn’t matter how correct you are. You can argue until you’re blue in the face about how defensible “Toxic Masculinity” as a term really is, and you’d be right too, but that doesn’t really change the fact that you are arguing about it.
Arguing online hardly ever changes minds, but I like to make sure that at least some voice is given to the opposition when things like this come up, just so bystanders are aware that there are opposing voices. I’ve already seen lemmy threads where women say there are many of the same problems here as were on reddit despite the smaller communities, so I’d hate to stand by while discussion like this goes unchallenged.
