Be sure to read and take seriously the comments here, OP. They are correct. The majority of the media you have consumed about “DEI” was intentional lies to make you believe oligarchs and billionaires were on your side against a constructed enemy.
That enemy isn’t real. The billionaires aren’t on your side. They just wanted to cultivate your anger for personal gain, and for many, unfortunately, that propagandizing was successful.
That user wasn’t responding to anyone directly. It was an untargeted reply, its “call to action” was not to any user or even a political or public figure. This makes 100% of the difference, and it’s why your post is being received poorly.
If you are uncomfortable with that kind of comment or imagery that’s totally fair and you can block and report. But it’s obviously silly to act like that comment is in any way a safety concern.
To ammend even further: Health neither stops nor starts at weight in almost any case. Far better strategies for self care will instead look at:
More broad attention to these three rough categories is going to be way more positive than worrying about the single metric of weight or BMI. Doctors may recommend a raise or lowering of weight, but for ALMOST EVERY person that’s only as a means to the end of improving one or more of the broader cardio, energy, and immunity mechanisms.
appreciate your consistent and calm attitude to such a frustrating and consistent onslaught of criticism ada, as always <3
this is interesting and i think it would be valuable to have discourse about this outside of distasteful characters, thanks for bringing it to attention
my initial thoughts are “what does mainstream mean lol” and “why six letters” and “what about languages that don’t use the roman alphabet”
but i appreciate the stance of respect and pragmatism this seems to come from so that’s nice
good thing it wasn’t (source: i was the third party recipient of those shared DMs; they were fully irrelevant to admin/mod action, abusive or otherwise)
With 100+ comments already this is probably a message delivered too late, but if you are reading this be aware that comments here that digress away from simply keeping history into ogling and ridiculing serve only to feed the needs of a user who already has alt accounts drifting in as we speak.
my instance has been defederated from .ml for ages and i can personally confirm fedi is still fun here :) take that as you will
You are unhelpfully combative. DEI factually is a term that has been made a victim of twisting and manipulation. Flickerman was well within their rights to point out that this malformation of meaning has gone so far as to influence the basic grammatical use of the term.
You will notice that Flickerman even gives OP an out, admitting that their misusage of the term might be unintentional, likely skewed by years of propaganda. That is, OP could be entirely innocent and misled.
Therefore, ironically, the individual here who is truly reacting programmatically to seek victimhood, is you. :)
