Yeah, I think this subforum would probably make more sense under the lolcow farms than the lolcow salon, since the topic's more similar to something like Animal Control, being a broad group of lolcows tied together via a single unifying characteristic (furries for animal control, and troons for this place), and a lot of these troon cows attract a mixed-gender audience like Keffals and Kevin Gibes, compared to the other lolcow salon sections mostly having cows with an overwhelmingly female audience (with only a few exceptions like Nikocado).I'm going to say my piece and suggest this trans-oriented board should NOT be in BP. BP has a very specific ruleset and standards which will ultimately limit lolcow discussion and unnecessarily segregate troons between "gender critical" and "non-gender critical" lolcows. All troons are cows and need to be kept together and discussed equally. Besides, what about FTM cows? This board is already oriented towards insane MTF troons and how they are destroying women's space (very true) but if FTM issues come up and we discuss issues with women thinking becoming a man is better and eventually detransitioning (FTMs detransition much more often than MTFs), that can lead to some very uncomfortable posts for BP. Besides, being a "gender critical" board, people are going into here w/o a goal to laugh and have fun (more of a TERF HQ), we'll get some irritating conflicts of interest...
^like this shit. If, for example, a notable feminist lolcow says something pro-trans, that kind of discussion will be discouraged by BP. I'm all for these "safe space" boards, but I feel many of these cows will loose a bunch of critical discussion and general spergy mayhem (which is what makes this free for all site fun). We need a tranny board independent from the other sections of the site where we put ALL trans lolcows. This can be a kind of tran-mark of the beast section or something.
...unless this is all a way for Null to legitimize the farms with TERF communities. It's a good alliance for now but I'm concerned an ugly civil war will happen down the line.
*rant over* In all honesty I hope I'm wrong and that this board is a huge success. Who knows? Maybe we can even start some kind of mild BP-Thunderdome dialogue in the future based on the success here (I look forward to that day).![]()
You're right about the stuff regarding FtMs though, TERFs tend to be a lot softer on FtMs than MtFs, seeing them more as "poor souls that were groomed into becoming trans" as opposed to "sex pests who want to intrude into female spaces for sexual gratification", and treating them mostly with pity rather than the vitriolic hatred they reserve for MtFs. That could potentially stifle discussion on said lolcows when the majority of the userbase feels bad for them. We'll just have to see how the few threads here on FtMs end up going over the next few weeks.
Eh, the amount of people I've seen pearl-clutching demanding that the Thunderdome be removed from the site for posting no-no opinions is surprisingly high. Then again, most of those users demanding said section's removal are male oldfags, so you could still be right.As a token Beauty Parlor man, there‘s a definite quorum of women who can generate spergy mayhem with the best of them. Anyone who’s going to clutch pearls over autists at work is not going to be on the farms long, feminist or no. The reaction to wandering incels is usually “that’s nice, dear,” not shrieking for censorship. You’re underestimating kiwi women! They are literal murderering shitlords too, dammit.
