I have unironically received exactly that kind of criticism for having this opinion before, and I have received it from incel misogynist men, as well as seemingly misguided women and individuals of all kinds of different non cis genders.

Both of these kinds of people have accused me of being performatively baffled, as if i am simply doing this disingenuously to build a cult social media following or something.

EDIT: Elsewhere on the internet, not here on lemmy.

I don't doubt it. That is why I made sure to add the sarcasm tag, despite adding capitals on multiple words.

Lemmy has its share of assholes, I wouldn't have been surprised if that happened to you here either.

So far not yet, and I do appreciate the sarcasm tag.
