Which will make a lovely whistling noise as it goes over the heads of so many :(
I'm not sure the video itself will fly over heads - his pain is extremely palpable. Rather, it will be judged by its headline, as so much media is these days. I am a little sad to admit that it is mostly my faith in Hubski that made me watch the video (which I am thankful for), as opposed to immediately casting it off as "more red pill rubbish" just based on the title. Something I'll have to ponder.
Knowing some of the people here, (the ones that post racially inflammatory click-bait and violence-inciting puke like "all feminists should be beaten" and make comments about how feminists should be forced to transition as punishment,) it's going to be thrown around as "look, see, feminism is a complete fraud because a woman raped a boy!"
I think there's only one? Correct me if I'm wrong, but no listing of names, please (that probably goes unsaid). We usually only have one at a time before they get bored and peace out.the ones that post racially inflammatory click-bait and violence-inciting puke
I have people (who are extremely racist or have posted in support of violence to silence feminists) muted and filtered, since I really don't want to see them. I often find their digital droppings when checking out other users' feeds (I check before I decide to follow/filter/mute people) though. I also have several spammers muted and filtered, as well as tinyurl.com which has only ever been used on hubski by an accounthopping spammer. I've also filtered hate site and political FUD domains that I've come across in global.
It's far less prevalent here than it is in other sites. This makes it all the more jarring and visible when it does crop up though. Glad you've not experienced it.
I feel like there's a balance to be struck between free speech and censorship. Clearly, these people do not represent the spirit of Hubski. Lurking briefly on the site reveals this. Shy of having some "global mute" function, an analogue to this description of "global filter", there's no way to completely censor them. And if Hubski did, they'd just make another account and start over. An open and popular forum will eventually expose all the evils of humanity, as featured by users' comments themselves. It was here fairly often even before the recent influx, and unfortunately, I don't think it's going away. The moderation tools given to me seem to suffice for now, but we're not the same person. Neither have we payed Hubski a cent. Yet. Please try not to interpret this as me advocating for them or against you. Neither was my intent.
What is with all the ass kissing in this thread?

I love me some OftenBen, but I only watched because you commented. Glad you did, it was provocative.
This is my first time surfing hubski and my very first experience was this post, and I would have to agree that I was of the ideologue of "more red pill rubbish" but now I feel humbled.
hahaha I hope it did. Actually I don't play the flute, I play piano, but I am working on it. The name is a reference to Jackie Chan's Drunken Master, where one of the drunken gods is a flute player. :)
Welcome to Hubski! I probably won't be much help as I am relatively green myself, but hopefully you're enjoying the experience so far. Humbled is the perfect word here - I am unhappy about making such an assumption, particularly on a discussion-focused website such as Hubski.
