fastest way to make anything grow with the youth. thats why people like paul elam need to retire somewhere and focus on his checkers game
Hmmm
we shouldnt be presuring people into the MRM, we should make ourselves the coolest party on the block. make them feel like they are being left out, do the reverse...what makes you cool enough to be an MRA?
I kinda think the subreddit's symbol just needs to be drawn better.
That would be a good syymbol
@blueorange22 I'm cool enough!!!
XD
btw, you are @goodmod are mods there, right?
Goodmod is, but I'm not.
I know Goodmod pretty well though
ok, so we should make this the official discord of the sub
It's the semi-official one at the moment
yeah ive been seeing the posts
We're meant to be getting a sidebar link soon
great
What we really need is to make this the official Discord of the entire movement
As much as you can do something like that
I mean, we don't exactly have a central office, but if we can get the major sites to support us, we should
exactly, the MRM needs central organization. a central office is what we need, anda logo helps that
Yes. One of the biggest boons and downfalls of both our movement and feminisms is there is no core leadership, per say
But, at the same time, that makes it easier for everyone to speak.
Unless one of those movements goes down the conformist repressive line. XD
Feminists say the same thing regarding feminism though... 'Not all feminists are like that' etc
In the end its not the people that we need to back, its the issues
but they never call out feminists who ARE "like that". and seem to support them everywhere they are
Yes, they do, but I think you're missing the point... You were saying we need an organised leadership. I dint think that matters and we just support the issues, and we do pay attention and promote/support people who fight for our issues, Jordan Peterson, Karen etc. I think things are fine like that. We don't need a 'central office/authority'. Having places to gather and discuss is awesome but that's not the same thing
eventually a lack of organization and coordination will limit our effectiveness, especially when anti MRAs start false flagging
True. We aren't at the 'hire a PR guy' stage just yet, but there is a middle ground
I don't think things being like that causes lack of organisation, we can decide which issues to protest and perform activism together without being sheep. I think a place like this to gather and discuss is important like I said, but not to command everyone or have it so we are in a hierarchy of importance
There is also the idea that a leadership could be taken out. Leaders get targets painted on them, and the opposition has proven they are willing to play VERY dirty.
Alright, you win. Lol
We do need a proper banner, but we should have that soon.
@Men Are Human Alright, it took me almost a minute to figure out the only reason I was pinged was a simple "hi everyone" plug. If you're going to do that, could you at least put it in a separate channel so I could actually find an ignore it as opposed to trying to figure out who is talking specifically to me? It is super duper obnoxious.
@asparkofpyrokravte Sorry! I didn't realise that you'd have trouble with that. I'll stop doing it. Or maybe restrict it to this one channel? What do people think? It seems to be an effective way to get the conversation rolling, but I don't want to annoy anyone
It doesn't make much of a difference to me because the first message I haven't seen on any channel will buzz me anyway, so what's one more. I would imagine it could annoy quite a few other people though
Okay that's enough
What a massacre, haha.
Alright.
For everyone not in on the private chat: we got rid of that argument because it is not good for the casual chat to be clogged up with super serious things that belong in the <#515246258571575297> channel or private messages. I'm also not fond of the level of antagonism that was going on, so I've stepped in to make peace. For the record: the <#512584678314606613> channel is for talking about fluffy bunnies, computer games, and what we are all up to personally.
In any case, please try to keep things friendly in this channel. Here is a bunny. http://www.todayifoundout.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/baby-bunny.jpg
