      Also I'm gonna go there This is exactly how stereotypes and bigotry perpetuate themselves People make up or exaggerate anecdotes that fit what their audience wants to hear and the audience decides it doesn't matter if it happened because it's "the kind of thing that happens"https://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1343000164378689537 …

      Heard the argument that AITA posts describe stuff that happens frequently enough IRL that it doesn't matter if they're real or just creative writing exercises, and as somebody who has lived through dozens of things that WOULD warrant an actual AITA post, I... don't agree (1/2)

      Why do they think it's "the kind of thing that happens"? Because of a lifelong steady diet of stories just like this It's a feedback loop, a cycle

          This sounds like I'm going to bat for men like "AITA is a feminist conspiracy to make boyfriends look bad" I am not saying that I am saying that whether or not boyfriends are genuinely bad, AITA is only evidence for that in the way that "bad boyfriend" tropes in fiction are

          MRAs could easily set up a forum to share stories about how all women are manipulative harpies where all the stories are just as plausible, convincing and resonant, to them They DO do that, they've done it for YEARS, it's the core of how they build community

          The MRA version of mockingly saying "#NotAllMen" online is several years older than that hashtag ("NAWALT", Not All Women Are Like That) and means the same thing

          The alt-right has a meme about how everyone knows racist tropes are objectively true and refuses to notice, the meme is just "noticing", as in "racism is the woke term for noticing" They share anecdotes about Black people doing bad things in exactly this tone

          The big difference is that AITA's "consensus ideology" is usually broadly liberal and especially, broadly feminist, and MRAs and Nazis live in dank holes online and talk only to each other And, broadly speaking, this is good

          It doesn't mean that as part of the mainstream you're immune to bullshit though If you follow any subs that share anecdotes about "contentious" issues this quickly becomes apparent This is what Redditors mean by "the circlejerk"

          On Reddit, it's mainstream to distrust parents and think they're awfully full of themselves and do all kinds of bad shit that nobody else notices If you're subscribed to r/childfree, r/raisedbynarcissists, r/JUSTNOMIL, etc this won't be a controversial opinion for you

          It would be a far more controversial opinion to generally hold if you spent your online time on Mumsnet (even before Mumsnet became TERF Central), or on a sub like r/breakingmom Opinions about which anecdotes are "the kind of thing that happens" or are "propaganda" would differ

          I mean, I'll be honest, I'm coming at this from having followed TERF Reddit before it went down The TERFs went ahead and poached a generic sounding sub name (r/thisneverhappens) to swap anecdotes about trans women being rapists and perverts

          Was there any verification or fact checking on any of the stories? Of course not Did it make any difference? Also of course not Many people professed being radicalized by being overwhelmed by the "sheer weight of the evidence" in that sub
