Es ist kompletter Wahnsinn, dass zahlreiche deutsche Medien heute einfach nahezu ohne kritische Einordnung die Ergebnisse einer angeblich repräsentativen Befragung zum Männlichkeitsbegriff in Deutschland abgebildet haben. 
Die Ergebnisse widersprechen zahlreichen anderen, wissenschaftlich deutlich seriöseren Befragungen zu ähnlichen Themen. Ein paar Beispiele dafür finden sich unter diesem Thread von @OlafStorbeck.
Die Teilnehmer sollen u.a. bei einer ungestützten Abfrage Cristiano Ronaldo (noch irgendwie vorstellbar), Elon Musk (nun gut) und Andrew Tate (!!!) am häufigsten als prominente Vorbilder genannt haben. Klarer kann ein Hinweis auf einen Bias bei der Teilnehmer-Auswahl kaum sein.
Feminism Megathread 🧵
Summary
Feminism can be broken down into three "waves:"
First Wave (1800s-1920s) - better conditions at home + suffrage
Second Wave (1960s-1970s) - Equality in society with men
Third Wave (2012-present) - Female Domination / Transhumanism twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Each "wave" was concerned with breaking down certain social norms constraining women's behavior in the hope that deconstructing these rules would lead to better outcomes for women.
Like many things, the 'wave' model is not perfect, but its satisfactory

You bet your ass I'm taking the opportunity to remind anyone familiar with GamerGate that Zoe Quinn was never held accountable for publicly defaming Alec Holowka with her "Statement of Fact" that he was a sexual abuser.
Yet..she wanted to snuggle with him?

I have everything I gathered the week Alec passed away. I initially went to the Post Millenial and provided what you saw in that Anna Slatz article.
But trust me.
There was way more to the story.
It got buried under writer conflicts at TPM and put on the back burner forever.

Those dates there? That was when ZQ was coordinating an event in Winnipeg in touch with many many people.
Yet according to her three years ago, Alec was holding her hostage and refusing to let her communicate with people.
Over HIS game.
Here is HER game that she never finished

And now we have the New York Times writing about the #GamerGate connection in the Pelosi attack. Took four reporters to write it and not one of them appears capable of critical journalism. @tarangoNYT, @livia_ar, @skarlamangla
@tarangoNYT @livia_ar @skarlamangla We know DePape himself said explicitly, "How did I get into all this? Gamer Gate it was gamer gate."
So ok then, link established? I mean, the guy believes a fairy is following and talking to him, but let's take him at his word that that's how he got into all this...
So ok then, link established? I mean, the guy believes a fairy is following and talking to him, but let's take him at his word that that's how he got into all this...
@tarangoNYT @livia_ar @skarlamangla But the article contradicts that notion and doesn't even mention the contradiction. In 2000 when he first met now-imprisoned San Francisco activist Gypsy Taub he had "no outward political beliefs."
It went well beyond rivalry and enmity. Tech journos slandered Oculus maker Palmer Luckey (and others) and tied him to white nationalists because of his support of Trump and now this war between journalists against tech people is steeped in all aspects of the woke war on culture.
The journo war on tech guys is immersed in the culture war. Journos embroiled techy conservatives’ support for Trump in their attacks. There’s gamergate, which was the community backlash on journos. There’s also woke tech people forcing Code of Conduct agreements on SV startups.
Naturally, journalists took the side of the woke techies against the folks like Musk et al because they saw them as a conduit to take down SV.
That guy’s thread has part of the truth as to how it all started but it’s missing every crucial aspect of the culture war.

Appreciate this Mr. @malki . Did not expect to get a response from the original author of the comic work. You're correct in assuming that this was a 'good-faith effort' to describe the #sealioning expression in retrospect from an objective & historical point of view. 🧵1/10
Translators like me are in nature 'investigative' and we tend to explore the intent of the author and its context to understand the real meaning behind a certain expression or a term. To me #Sealioning was such new term. So as you said, I tried to do a 'deep-dive' into it. 2/10
In Japan, the context and historical background of #Sealioning is not fully understand, while there are many versions of translations of your original work. @annaPHd9pj 's was one of them I happened to come across first, and I personally thought it was well-translated. 3/10

Yes, this is what the GOP does, & it’s not just TPUSA. Think it can’t happen to you? Watch HBO’s 15 Minutes of Shame: specifically, the part about what Roger Stone protege Mike Caputo did to Laura Krolcyzk. It’s a #gamergate “swarming” tactic. 1/

This is true. The *constant* lies about #GamerGate were a massive red pill for me. My attitude of default mild skepticism toward most media transformed into one of default distrust. I take *most* media reports with as much faith as emails telling me I’ve inherited millions …
This is KEY.
Woke / Critical Social Justice isn’t well-meaning and it isn’t honestly mistaken.
It is EVIL and needs to be understood as such. Some people might be duped by its moralistic rhetoric at first, but no one stays in it unless they *enjoy* hurting people.

This is the main commodity Woke / Critical Social Justice sells, after all: a license to hurt people without consequence and with a deep feeling of moral self-righteousness.

For the last time, you idiots: the issue here isn't the fact that manga and anime have political themes or that they espouse a particular political view, it's that manga and anime don't hamfistedly or clumsily insert them into stories to the detriment of entertainment value. 1/4
"GATE - Thus the JSDF Fought There!" is a nationalistic series where Japanese Special Forces can effortlessly take out Russian AND U.S. ones with zero deaths and makes a lot of political and social criticism (such as how manipulative politicians and journalists are). 2/4
Despite all this, the series never loses sight of the fact that it's centered around how modern military forces would fare against medieval armies and fantasy monsters such as dragons. The political/social commentary complements the story, it's not the sole reason it exists. 3/4

O jornal @opovoonline publicou uma série de reportagens sobre as relações entre a cultura dos games e a Extrema Direita no Brasil.

But FFS we have to GET PAST this idea that progressives USE DOUBLE STANDARDS.
Yes. Always. IT IS PART OF THEIR DOCTRINE THAT YOU CAN DO BAD THINGS TO THE “EVIL PEOPLE.”
STOP POINTING THIS OUT LIKE IT’S A REVELATION.

@winged_pudding_ @Latedawn_ Yeah, no. Let's be VERY CLEAR about what happened here. The article classifies ANY use of that image (even as parody of non-Jews) as anti-semitic. It cites as a source a notorious far right German think tank funded by the government and headed by a former Stasi informant... 1/2
@winged_pudding_ @Latedawn_ ...as a source which also falsely implies that #GamerGate was "far right". When I dismissed your friend's linked article based on these facts, she defaulted to some bizarre Ultimate Twitter Jewish Authority argument and said that I was a problem for not believing her. 2/2
@winged_pudding_ @Latedawn_ This is my Twitter feed. I'm under no obligation to sanitize it based on you and your friends' demands or harassment. And I'm not going to apologize for making use of "anti-semitic" image when 1) that was not the intent of the image and 2) it's a dubious claim anyway.
1. Before everyone starts celebrating too much, let me remind everyone about #GAMERGATE !
We, women, warned everyone about the dangerous growth of asshole far-right conservative men during Gamergate.

{thread} Let’s talk about the human rot we know as Steve Bannon. He is the most dangerous American on earth. He’s a radicalized Catholic and member of Dominionistic breeding ground #OpusDei. Our founders feared Catholics like Bannon could infiltrate the US govt to bring it down.
They never found a way to reconcile a Catholic’s existence in US politics. Even in recent times, many felt JFK could not be president because he was Catholic, and that would mean he’s loyal to the Pope 1st and America 2nd. JFK put country over religion history.com/news/jfk-catho…
though, so that collision course never happened, unless you believe his assassination had something to do with his religion, which is possible I guess. In 2002, Republican @RickSantorum attended an Opus Dei event in Rome, during which he attacked JFK's au.org/church-state/m…
