        It’s not even censorship, they replaced ’ with *, but it’s still for the same reason. Every person who has ever done that, conscious misspelling and censorship for engagement, deserve a lead fist to the face.

      At this point it seems like they’re just throwing around asterisks for ragebait. The algorithm probably figured out that posts containing an asterisk get more engagement, so now they pretty much have to throw it in there to get attention. It’s annoying…

      Sandtiger sharks cannibalize eachother before they are even born. They’re a popular aquarium species and do very well in captivity, including successful captive breeding programs. They very rarely consume their fellow tank mates. Edit : Different species, not a courtship failure, Aquarium staff attributes this to territorial aggression, or an accident bump 'n bite which became a whole meal.

      There is also incredible value in having ambassador animals that can inspire the public to care for their natural environment and see them as species worth preserving and making sacrifices for. This animal looks well fed, in good health, and free from spinal deformities that are common with inadequate health and nutrition for this species. I think your concerns are mostly unfounded here.

      It’s almost like memes are based on context… The reason it’s impactful is because in humans it’s rare to see women be the more powerful sex, it’s rare to see women kill men. Flipping the genders wouldn’t flip the context of the the social norms that the meme is dependent on.

        It’s not rare, people gas up women for the most tiniest of things. Women have more rights than men, PERIOD. E.g: They don’t get drafted

          So your one example of women having more rights is a rule made by a society ruled by men? Some people would argue that women are being deprived of the right to fight for their nation…

          In most every metric of power in modern society, men are placed over women. In wealth, political appointment, the judiciary, the military, and the police force we see men hold the vast majority of power.

          Name a right women have that men do not and I can guarantee that example was implemented and enforced by a group mostly made of men.

      Original commenter was making a joke, it’s called hyperbole.

      There are cases where your sentiment makes sense (Women disparaging someone about dick size for example. Not sure how that’s different from men commenting on people’s boobs), but this isn’t one of those cases.

      The commenter doesn’t actually advocate killing someone because they bumped up against them.

      I think you should consider lightening up.

    Funny how it’s “inspirational” when the victim’s a man - but we’d all agree it’s a tragedy if the roles were reversed.

        You don’t get to dismiss sexism by saying “just a joke bro” That same joke would be seen as highly offensive if the genders were reversed.

          A large aspect of humor is a reverse of expectations. The reason this is funny and the reverse is not is because the meme is the reverse of the social normative of humans. Men kill more women, men are bigger and stronger than women, men have more social power than women.

          Your accusations of sexism rings hollow when you actually use logic and apply the situation to the realities of our actual societal structure.

      Honestly people act shocked that the younger generation of males in the world are conservative but this is what they see on a daily basis.

      I’m all for feminism and equality but if you have to put someone down to lift yourself up that’s not helpful for anyone.

          Radicalisation on one side always leads to radicalisation on the other, ending up with both sides using the other’s ridiculous fringe ideas as justification for their own.

              There definitely was.

              Cyberbullying german girls because the german word “digga” sounds similar to “nigger” and unironically advocating that germans shouldn’t use words that sound similar to slurs in english because “they should be responsible and avoid hurting others”.

              Or tankies simping for the mass murder of “anti-revolutionaries” in the USSR or the PRC

          By grifters you mean the only people willing to say that it’s okay for men to be men? Gee, I wonder why young men go to them rather than the ones telling them to man down.

                The shark was harassing her.

                She said stop in animal language.

            No. We mean people like andrew tate. These guys aren’t men, They’re assholes. They don’t teach you how to be “men”, they teach you how to be assholes.

            No real man thinks he’s “high-value” and definitely doesn’t think women are worth less or deserve to be treated like shit.

            That’s not real men, that’s assholes.

            And yes, I’m gatekeeping the term “Man”.

              I’m not defending Andrew Tate here. My point is that when there is nobody else for these young men to look up to then they go to the only ones available.

              Name one good male role model you approve of.

        Educate your sons that in the fish world this is pretty common for female fish to eat male especially after breeding and has no political standing. This isn’t to encourage women to hurt men. It’s fact over feelings. please stop radicalizing men over building this into misinformation.

        Watch a documentary or two once in a while.

          Someone else made the argument that this is common in other species but that argument goes out the window with the comment made in this picture.

          They deliberately made this about feminism and that’s what I’m referring to here.

          I’m not some fuckin moron who thinks the female shark ate the male because “girl power”

        Foreign inflammation of existing sexism and gendered issues on social media has made it so men and women are afraid to be in the same room with each other, leaving behind only the absolute morons on both sides to represent gendered relationships broadly. People aren’t even dating anymore, loneliness on both sides is becoming a lethal epidemic, human relationships are falling and people are suffering for it on a huge scale.

        Where once people would have compromised and men and women would have formed relationships understanding each other, we’re now so high-strung that any slight is considered “harassment” or “feminist woke ideology” (whatever they call it on the other side) and everyone is starting to hate each other just for being different from themselves.

        Welcome to part of that machine, you’re a member of the club destroying us all, just as bad as the orcs on the right who think you’re trying to take something away from them. Screeching in all caps about being harassed by some general “male presence” just paints a stereotype that I really wish advocates would abandon because all it’s doing is making the division worse and creating harder lines that people won’t cross to understand each other.
