Comments

[(Anonymous)]

If an anon is being an asshole, they tend to get labeled "he." All other anons are assumed to be "she" by default due to user statistics.

If someone brings up that a non-asshole anon might be male, statistics are called in as a defense of the female assumption. Generally speaking, asshole anons labeled "he" aren't questioned and everyone goes with the flow of the first anon who assumes they're male.

Of course, logically speaking, we have no idea whether we are right.

No, this is not a defense of THE MEN, since we have no idea whether we are correct or not. Troll-calling is more like it, since I think it's several of the radfem or radfem-pretender anons leading the charge in gendering anons. Anyone else notice? I think it's funny.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think this is a thing that actually happens, but then I don't tend to gender anons at all. I don't gender named users either, unless I know what gender they are and since I don't pay attention very much to these details, I end up calling everyone "OP" or "they/them".

[(Anonymous)]

I do the same thing since we can't know. I suppose that may be why I notice more when other people don't.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, those are my feelings on it mostly too. Mild amusement? Should cover it. I was only wondering if anyone else noticed it happen, because I've seen it a lot of times now.

[(Anonymous)]

I also query why, when two or more anons say something unpopular they get labelled as just being one anon trolling.

[(Anonymous)]

Depends on the context, but that's the oldest troll trick in the book on anon boards, so it's hardly shocking. If two comments are similarly worded, happen near together in time, and especially if they are OUTRAGED at something that does not seem worth freaking out about, I'm likely to assume it's the same person. Especially when it's outlandishly dickish behavior, like the one who stalks users and whatnot.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - I get that, but...

1) a short comment is barely enough text to establish speech patterns
2) thanks to the internet and the pervasiveness of pop culture, a lot of peoples' speech patterns are getting more homogenized
3) the majority of the comments on FS are usually posted within a 2-3 hour window after the secret goes up and with over a thousand members, the odds of more than one person posting close together in time is not that uncommon
4) it's pointless to measure other peoples' behavior based on what YOU believe is freakout-worthy, because that will vary from person to person. Pick any semi-controversial topic and you'll find all sorts of opinions, many of them stronger than you might think is warranted. No doubt there are topics you feel strongly about that others would judge unnecessary, too.

I'll grant you the user-stalking, however.

[(Anonymous)]

Can't speak to the rest of it, but the time thing doesn't make sense here. When the posts go up there is usually a pretty damn short window when all the posts are piling in, to the point where just hitting refresh is enough to see a list grow, 'cause everyone is posting real quick. Then it pretty much cools down after a couple of hours, until someone posts something interesting and different then you get a fresh flurry of comments as the people who missed out on the first round pile in and try to get on the second.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? I assume everyone here, assholes included, are "she" until I'm told otherwise. Mainly because I'm still convinced 90% of our population or more is female, but hey, the fandom places that we migrate from (Livejournal, tumblr, etc) are female-dominated fandom places and we know, or should know, women are equally capable of being assholes.

So yeah. every asshole and troll here to me is a woman. Only named users who I've been told are guys, are guys, as far as I care.

[herpymcderp]

I have literally never seen this. I think you might have some kind of weird confirmation bias going, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Secret #5, right? Ehhhh. I was trolling OP because I thought OP was a troll. I'm sorry?

[raspberryrain]

No one thought you were a guy, though.
