Feminist Principles of the Internet

[sufi]

I like how non-specific it is - all principles rather than rules, so we can adopt it very easily

 

[sufi]

course not its unreadable. it repels the eye. it refuses engagement,

the line breaks are particularly officious

 

[luka]

its anti-life. its the embodiment of evil.

 

[sufi]

i wouldnt go that far

 

[sufi]

its anti-life. its the embodiment of evil.

i refute that, but neither is it "pro-life"

 

[luka]

its the death star and its in orbit about our earth!

that makes sense, you are getting spooked by the maternalism - that's no moon

 

[luka]

no not really, im just being silly. as i say i didnt read it. its unreadable.

 

[sufi]

i know, i'm trying to tease out any further reservations before the trap slams shut

 

[luka]

it's also a completely empty gesture 'we call for'

 

[sufi]

it's an antidote to the alt-R thread - completely without irony or nuance

 

[luka]

the alt right thread would have been great if our alt right peers had joined in and played the role i set out for them but they didnt. typical selfish im alright jack right wing types. no sense of community.

 

[sus]

I, too, am feminist. Hello women!

 

[luka]

sufi's on the prowl for ladies again. hes totally sex mad.

 

[Corpsey]

They're not banning porn, are they?

 

[sus]

They're not don't worry corpse

I struggle with the language of stuff like this. It makes me feel the same way as office jargon. That nobody genuinely speaks like or wants to speak like that. It's just what you do, so you go through the motions. Like that DJ who got pulled up for having a dodgy stage name and put out a statement full of terms like "problematic" and "agency".

 

[luka]

that's right. that's why we are rejecting it. sorry soof, back to the drawing board

that's a fair point,
i expect we could translate it into a more suitable dialect, or perhaps find an equivalent document in poetic format, or even musical style

i think we can safely ignore it. i dont think we need to sign up to a code of good behaviour.
