Thing is, they use one or two examples of some posters not following the "right way of thinking" in massive threads as proof that the entire site is "unsafe and hostile" to women and minorities. You have a thread where some actor's former girlfriend make a Tweet accusing him of abusing her. 99% of the thread are going "fuck him", "milk shake duck", "asshole". You may have a hand full of posters saying they will wait before condemning him, and they then use those scant few outliers in that thread as proof women on ERA are oppressed and should be in fear of even posting. It's ridiculous, even more so when you consider those scant few souls that goes off the beaten path are instantly dogpiled and banned on sight.
This narrative that ERA is a super hostile environment for women and minorities is such bullshit if you take even a brief glance of how ERA operates.
