I was curious to know whether any other Lemmy instances had mentioned rqd2 so I searched for the website on other instances and surprisingly I found quite a few posts.
These are two of the biggest ones that got lots of comments: (TW: Lots of bigotry against radqueers)
What I found really funny is that some of them shared screenshots of my posts and were debating whether we’re real or just some kind of “parody” instance:
Yeah, no. I’m defeding with them.
Why must people do things like this it makes us all look bad
Honestly shit that blatant makes me think agent provocateur.
Bro they’re all like this heres one I just found
They’re so absurdly crazy I almost believe it’s satirical even though I know they’re probably being honest with their opinions
Yeahhhhhhh, that’s just shitty fascist bait. I’m surprised no one has reported that instance to national authorities yet, it can’t federate if the people running it are busy with the FBI.
I can guarantee the vast majority of those posters are kids themselves just doing stupid cringey edgy kid things.
“What’s the worst thing I can think of? Let me join a community in support of it, that will show my parents”
Just look at that shit. It’s cringetopia.
On lemmy.ml some users seem to have found my name funny:
Jesus Christ the first local post I saw after checking it out was a meme about being a MAP from a user called “Matt Walsh”
I mean that’s hilarious but also damn it really isn’t a queer/kink instance that’s messed up
Yeah that lad is pretty active ngl. Atleast Matt knows that being a MAP is pretty hardcore ultra cringe. (https://rqd2.net/post/15585).
(Fuck why am I complimenting degenerates like MAPs?)
In the minuscule chance that any users from other instances are reading this I can tell you that we’re 100% real and you can cry about it.
The second meme is definitely tongue in cheek and I can see why many people might initially recoil upon seeing that. After all, most people’s only conception of “child porn” is CSAM. And yes, actual CSAM is terrible. But not all “child porn” is sexual abuse material.
It reminds me an awful lot of radfems who say that women cannot consent to sex with men because of the power imbalance, or be active, willing, enthusiastic participants in porn or other forms of sex work because it’s exploitative. The difference is that the radfem BS is relatively fringe and usually rightfully shot down as the patronizing, misogynistic nonsense it is, while the adultist BS is much more widely accepted.
I’m too tired to really elaborate right now but yeah.
