Seems like a big improvement from lolcow but you gals still have this kind of inferiority complex (which I guess makes sense since most are from r9k) and in general don't talk about topics I'm interested in. But I like the general open mindedness and tendency to actually read posts, things that places like 4/pol/ lack. I hope someday there's a female-majority imageboard centered around global politics/tech/etc like the other good ones and little to no whining about men. Until then I'll stay on my board and come here for porn or just to check in occasionally.

We used to have /disc/ and it was perfect for that but pretty dead because of how small we are (for now). But no whining about men? How could someone create a female oriented imageboard that wouldn't see "whining" about men? It's nothing more than fair because of how they treat women online, and having a female space allows us to discuss them bluntly.

Anonymous 9893

>>9878
nta but i personally want a place that doesn't mention men because i feel like even when we separate ourselves from them they never leave. i get wanting to vent about personal stuff obviously, but general misandry/man-hate threads just remind me that men have presence everywhere and it pisses me off.

Make a thread about something you want to talk about and I'll post in it sistah. There's not a whole lot of explicitly political threads here but from reading the feminism thread and /r/redpillwomen threads there is a pretty good variety of political opinions here so I bet you'd be able to generate some good discussion.

>It's nothing more than fair because of how they treat women online, and having a female space allows us to discuss them bluntly.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion here, but I just don't see it. Everybody gets harassed online, not just women. Particularly true for imageboards. Remember these are the same people who insultingly call normal people "normies". Either way, I've been on kc for ages and the few times I've mentioned my gender people were either mildly interested or didn't give a shit, and we continued the discussion as normal. From my experience they only harass attentionwhores (rightfully so). But if you want to go to the worst shitholes like 4/pol/ then you need to play the game and force your own memes about men being the "niggers of gender" or something. I'd definitely check out that thread :^)
IMO miners whining about men is the same thing as incels whining about women, we're better than that right?

>>9916
I've lurked a bit deeper, there's too much of a fixation on social issues/obscure crime cases which I'm not really interested in. Also not global enough since I assume most people here are from the US. But you're right, can't complain if I'm not contributing. I'll make some current event thread later to test if anyone's interested.

Yeah, but I think think there's a substantial difference between those two things. For one, no person reading about normies legitimately believes they're a normie. 2, being make fun of for being a nerd or a geek or a idiot is different than sexist (or racist) remarks popping up in completely unrelated discussions, it's wearying, and frustrating. Even if you don't take any stock in what they have to say about women, it's irritating being constantly reminded that angry manchildren spend the bulk of their time doing this while probably sitting at home being cared for by their mom, a woman who probably has her own dreams and goals and wants from life that are perpetually lower on the priority list than her parasite of a son.

>From my experience they only harass attentionwhores (rightfully so).


if you think that the only women that get punished are the ones who are bad, you might be surprised when the day comes that you're the one being punished, and you don't re't rmember having done anything bad. In the wake of it, the terrible, awful realization that the witches burned were innocent is the worst feeling in the world. Men punish women for being different than the person they expect them to be. we convince ourselves and each other that this isn't true by sacrificing the ones who step out of line. Yeah, some women want attention, particularly on this type of platform. some of them are just trying to cultivate ideas and meet like-minded people, though, and i don't think it's a stretch to say that this board gets raided because of its largely female userbase.

I personally came from lc but that's not really true. Admin advertised us everywhere you can imagine. We're a mix of all things. We have people who came from other chans, pull, Tumblr and even Reddit. The userbase is still forming. But yeah, I doubt most of us came from lc at this point.

>But yeah, I doubt most of us came from lc at this point.

Then you have no idea how chans work? People on chans gravitate towards other chans. I've been using lc since 2015 and 4chan since 2005. Lc was mostly comprised of /cgl/ and staminarose users because the former stopped allowing gossip and vendetta threads and the latter closed down. People may pop in from other places but they typically can't tolerate what imageboards offer and they fuck off.

Anonymous 10388

>>10383
You can't be sure of anything regarding our userbase unless you do a poll to see who are posting now. Anything you say is mere speculation, Ms "I know how chans work", and the latest posts prove many people are NOT coming from lolcow. I think it's clear we have people over here who seem oblivious to how a chan works, hence such our new super detailed FAQ and some posts you can find in /meta/ showing some anons were terrified by the raids, which are unfortunately very normal to anyone who frequents imageboards.

I was complaining to my friend about how bad /cgl/ has got and how 4chan generally has become totally unusable due to /pol/ raids. She mentioned here and it's so nice, every thread isn't the same tired buzzwords thrown around over and over.

It's crazy how much I'd normalised people constantly complaining about women too, because it's always been part and parcel of board culture. But here I can openly discuss things relating to my gender and it's so nice and I love you guys.

Well, I wouldn't say any technology oriented image board is great. Usually they are filled with spergs and incels. Lainchan is no excuse, if you dive deep down (discord groups and places they usually chat) you'll find out that their community is filled with your average delusional /pol/tard with a unjustified hate for woman and people of color. I don't mind them too much because I'm used to reading their comments but I don't really feel like talking to these people on discord.
I still visit lainchan and arisuchan sometimes because I like some of the personal experiences/feels threads.

Anonymous 11909

Thanks for the reply anon didn't expect any and it's pretty hard to gauge gender when it comes to most chan posts. Before late last year I didn't even know women browse /pol but apparently lots do. I don't think all of pol is bad really, but there is a lot of unjustifiable incel hatred. I also subscribe to a lot of fringe youtube channels and happened to post a completely innocent comment directly related to what was said in the video but got a "fuck off, whore" reply from an incel-ly poster who subscribes to Roosh V which pretty much 100% means incel or pol poster.

First found about this site years ago from a cute pic I found while doing a reverse image search. I posted one thing and that was it.
Then leftypol started to talk about it early in 2021, and this time I stayed. What made me stay was that they shared an old (now locked) thread on this board, and then I got curious about /media/, so that's where I started posting because leftypol's alt boards are slow.

>>102403
>just comparing the psychotic moids on /r9k/ to the (relatively) normal people here
I think I remember that thread and I remember some of them said this place had to be full of LARPing trannies (because women don't use imageboards, amirite?), or shitting on it for being radfem. But other people also said nice things, especially about that locked thread.
Now that lefty/pol/ has gone to shit and isn't as female-friendly as it used to be, I've no choice but to use this site and lolcow. I won't be able to discuss politics anymore, but at least now I don't feel paranoid about being the only biological female on an imageboard or have to deal with retarded incels.
