@InsaneCaterpilla " How do we get around this in our activism efforts?" How much are you aware of the history of activism? I think that question is a mistake

2018-12-21 17:46:29 UTC  

If I were to answer it though, I would say: "rather than trying to mind control six billion people or so, I recommend simply having an organization that can speak for itself, not just the movement. Think NOW, AVFM, NCFM, or ACLU"

2018-12-21 17:47:30 UTC  

AFAIK, angry activism seems to be the effective form of activism

2018-12-21 17:48:32 UTC  

This is one of the reasons I think MGTOW, besides simply being a useful idea in its own right, is likely to be a surprisingly effective social movement despite not really pressing for social change

2018-12-21 17:48:35 UTC  

The problem I'm having is ways to do things without running afoul of sites rules (such as reddits or discords) when performing some activism efforts.

Indeed, sometimes doing things like that can result in the police being called over harassment and such. It makes it harder for activism to be carried out

2018-12-21 17:51:06 UTC  

Well, most of those places don't really worry about that too much if you're not actively calling for harassment (which for the most part you shouldn't be).

2018-12-21 17:51:24 UTC  

I agree that self contained sites seem to be the way to go when it comes to that, that way only the law is really applicable. I think we need a strong grasp of the law in regards to harassment when it comes time to be going down that path

2018-12-21 17:52:00 UTC  

But if you are trying to bug some politician or something, twitter and chans seem to be pretty effective

2018-12-21 17:52:15 UTC  

Though I suppose I'm not sure #TellVicEverything would be allowed on twitter nowadays

2018-12-21 17:52:57 UTC  

Chans?

2018-12-21 17:53:34 UTC  

4-chan isn't the only chan

2018-12-21 17:54:09 UTC  

I know... I'm just not sure how using @channels helps, nor how they would be used

2018-12-21 17:55:08 UTC  

Are you talking about recruiting people from there?

2018-12-21 17:55:59 UTC  

Well that's one of the public places you'd put an internet-based activism campaign

2018-12-21 17:56:19 UTC  

that wouldn't really care too much about things that aren't legal harassment

2018-12-21 17:56:53 UTC  

It's been a while since I ever went on any /pol/

2018-12-21 17:57:09 UTC  

I've actually never been there, I've just heard the legends

2018-12-21 17:59:27 UTC  

Mmm... Ok, thanks for the input

2018-12-24 09:43:26 UTC  

It's okay to recommend contacting various groups or corporations. The circumcision centre is an exception because some of the intactivists are *guaranteed* to start calling them paedophiles and other nasty things right off the bat.

2018-12-24 10:21:41 UTC  

@goodmod That's a fair point.

2019-01-02 11:40:01 UTC  

By the way everyone.

2019-01-02 11:40:34 UTC  

I'm looking for graphic designers to make an 'attack pack' for the mrm

2019-01-02 11:42:30 UTC  

This would basically be an 'mra branded' pack of stickers, mini posters, big posters, bumper stickers, and so on. Idea is we let people download and print them or buy the phisical pack for cost off of some sticker website.

2019-01-02 11:42:39 UTC  

What do y'all think?

2019-01-02 21:24:14 UTC  

YES! Exactly what we need

2019-01-02 21:24:23 UTC  

Logo

2019-01-02 21:24:40 UTC  

Strong, basic, easy to draw

2019-01-02 23:03:58 UTC  

Good idea.

2019-01-02 23:24:12 UTC  

Excellent idea. One that could even be stickied in a few days, to ask for volunteers.

2019-01-03 08:34:49 UTC  

I little mascot could be cute too... or too cheesy? xD

2019-01-03 09:04:39 UTC  

Asides from a mascot, here are some concepts I drew up a while ago:

2019-01-03 09:50:18 UTC  

Like, a mascot idea could be something like a mouse? A play on the phrase “are you a man or a mouse”, something simple and neutral in nature.

2019-01-03 10:55:41 UTC  

We've been designing logos too. Want a look?

I was going to hold off showing you guys till we had the full sized version, but what do you think?

2019-01-03 11:04:15 UTC  

It looks ok, kind of long, I don't have much input wise on logos

2019-01-03 11:04:21 UTC  

Who designed it?

2019-01-03 11:07:46 UTC  

I like the idea of logos being more square, makes them easier to fit onto things as opposed to being rectangular, but I feel like is heading in the right direction
