Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

nice of you for labeling yourself like that but you misspelled incel.
Evidently, you've resorted to the classic second-grade retort of 'Nuh-uh, you are.' A timeless defense, to be sure, but ultimately as ineffective and impotent as you are.
I've got proof that you're an incel or at the very least a child that didn't receive enough love from their parents.

victim blaming and shaming. refuse to allow the perpetrators take responsibility because you feel personally attacked.
victim blaming again. this is such an incel move it's almost like your penis has crawled up inside your body so it doesn't have to look at you anymore.
still victim blaming. Jesus Christ, do you not ever want to be touched by a person again?
to go through your life as you do and not trust a single individual enough to share your most intimate moments with, how sad of an existence. to never feel the love or trust that someone puts in you to keep their most intimate secrets.
I'm not even mad, I'm legitimately sad for you that you will never know the amazing feelings of a loving trust between two people like what she thought she had. her trust was betrayed by someone like you, and that's just disturbing that someone as strong as her could be broken by someone as weak as you.
sort your life out and get your shit straight. life is too short to be a sad little lonely boy all your life.
Let's not confuse accountability with victim blaming. If she was forced or tricked into sharing her nudes, that's a different story altogether.
But if she willingly hit that 'send' button, then we need to talk about personal responsibility. It's tough, but she does share some culpability. Let's not sugarcoat it: she made a choice, and now she's dealing with the consequences. It's not about blaming the victim; it's about owning our actions.
By the way your prior post is the very definition of a Simping.
you don't get it because you lack the life experience of having love and trust in your life.
just stop man. you're fucking bumming me out with how sad your life must be.
Ok my dude, the simp is strong with you.
go back to your Andrew Tate support group for sad unfulfilled boys and be pathetic for the rest of your miserable existence.
I’ll just leave this here for you…
