    I’m gonna be that annoying cunt and say that this community is way too much of a sausage party to be making this kinda joke. I would love to read it as “haha lol that’s me” but in this community it comes off as “lol dumb woman annoying”. Misogyny is a massive problem on reddit, and we should try harder to create a more welcoming environment for women here.

      Yeah but this is Lemmy. There’s far more overlap between ‘sausage party’ and ‘women’ here than most other social media can even handle.

      And like, I never watched GoT nor read the books but still caught the reference. So this doesn’t feel like a form of arcane misogyny.

        Yeah Lemmy is a million times better for sure, though especially in these communities I feel a strong male slant.

        I watched GoT and read the books and don’t quite get the reference. It reminds me a lot of the way some dumb Breaking Bad fans see Walt as the cool hero and Skylar as dumb annoying woman. I dunno I’m probably overreacting based on other unrelated negative experiences
