But that doesn’t matter right? I mean, it’s only half of all feminists that were opposed to the war to begin with, so clearly feminists were all about hating men from the beginning. It’s not like Emmeline Pankhurst’s daughters Sylvia and Adela Pankhurst were pacifists and against the war to begin with, or that Emmeline Pankhurst organized a Right to Serve March in 1915, fighting for women to have the right be involved in war-related work such as working in the factories.
Whatever, I smell another shitstorm brewing, so I’m just going to jump out for now. But just to let you all know, I’ve done my homework and I’m not going to simply believe anything that I hear from any of you without questioning it.

Oh hey, it’s the White Feather stuff again. I’ve seen this argument before and done some research, and as it turns out, this point is kind of bunk.

Half of the women’s suffrage movement in Britain, and a number of prominent women’s rights campaigners including Helena Swanwick, Margaret Ashton, Catherine Marshall, Maude Royden, Kathleen Courtney and Chrystal Macmillan, were opposed to World War I.[3] This was an early coalition of women’s campaigning with pacifism that later led to the formation of Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom in 1915.

I can’t say I know much about the white feather campaign, but some would suggest, that even when some feminists were against the war, the other half did not object and were even possibly a part of the campaign. How large of an influence feminism was in creating the campaign at the time is uncertain and for analysis in today’s society, it is dated data that most certainly does not reflect the attitudes and practices of feminism today.
In any case, how many feminists themselves are responsible for the campaign seems like a non-productive argument of who at the time should bear the burden of action.
The point is: there was an attempt to tell men who didn’t want to fight in the war, that they were cowards and should enlist, which for all intents and purposes, is still an attitude men have to go through as their rite of passage into “manhood”, regardless of potential feminist attempts to the contrary.
This is historical blame game that serves no purpose, other than to quench the curiosity for accurate information about the reality of the time. The only thing is to be taken from all of this: to socially coerce someone into a war is not a privilege. All I want from feminism is to accept, that not in every aspect of the life, do women get the worse deal or that men are comparatively privileged and well off.
Accepting that maybe the grass isn’t as green on the other side than it was first thought should not be something that cripples feminism to its core.

How many tumblr users does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, they think the fact that the lightbulb emits a white light is offensive and are currently trying to find a lightbulb that doesn’t help the patriarchy, you ciswhite privlaged scum.

You raise a good point. From what I understand, the mismanagement of Dashcon can be attributed in some respects to the tumblr views the world.
Part of why it was a boondoggle was everyone got a booth if they wanted one if I heard correctly.
Kind of a reflection of tumblr’s general belief in positive rights.
I’m sure it goes deeper but in general the mismanagement simply reflects poorly on tumblr as any kind of leader in any kind of thought.

He probably still does, but he’s just casually reading/posting in the thread. As soon as it goes into another argument (of any size, not just major ones), he’s backing the [bleep] out of the thread for a few days until things calm down again.
At least, that’s what I’d do.

So right now I went to http://ponies-against-bronies.tumblr.com/. I found one post that said “I’m deleting this blog in 7 minutes. It got way too popular for my liking”. Refreshed 5 seconds later. It was gone.

I’m sorry.
“Too Popular?”
Was it not supposed to be taken seriously?
Was it just a massively unfunny joke?
What the hell just happened?
I’m sorry.

Despite ALL the evidence to the contrary, I’m still going to assume that the owner is a semi-rational human being (i.e. one who isn’t entirely consumed by his own hate, the type who hates bronies “on principle” or other irrational reason).
What might have happened is that the owner of the blog just wanted a space to bitch about bronies to his heart’s content. He got too much hate so he decided to shut it down to save face. That, and he might have felt he should “cut-and-run” before someone started sending him death threats or hacked his account.

could have also been that whole bit where they approved of an anon stealing some kids rarity plush, and even agreed to the idea of accepting ownership of the stolen goods(because the anon wanted to send it to them or destroy it).
now before you start being angry at them for condoning and being a part of such despicable behavior, after everyone called them out on that, they damage controlled- i mean, changed their mind “5 minutes later”, so you arent allowed to be mad at them anymore.

To note is that that blog recently moved to having two people running it after the original runner left (stressed out?), both with full access to it. It may be that the original owner saw that things were only getting worse and the “good name” of anti-bronies everywhere was getting besmirched.

of the anons post, or the entire thread?
the anons post was more than likely fictional(need dem antibrony points!)
i like how TSP put it
“If someone sends me a racist Ask to troll me and I respond by genuinely being racist, the fact that the Ask wasn’t serious does not at all make me any less racist.
It just makes me racist and stupid.”

We had a case of anti-brony trying to deport a person, so the plush story is not really that far-fetched…
