What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way, this includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead.

Destiny is also a notorious sex offender and pedophile.
He isn't a pedo. He says a 23yo with a 16yo isn't pedophilia. Which is technically true: it is ephebophilia. He seems to have been baiting outrage.

He hasn't been convicted of sexual abuse AFAIK but he certainly does seem dodgy on that front...

That sub should rename itself to distance itself from such behavior. Don't think I want to add to its karma by joining or participating. So thanks for the warning.
Still doesn't invalidate the debunking of that report though.
"No no, I'm not a pedo, to prove it, I looked pedophilia in a dictionary! It's actually ephebophilia! ...You don't care that I used a new word? Well, I was just doing it as a joke! It's your fault you'd think I would molest a minor!"
When someone rapes a minor as a joke, someone still raped a minor.
Please don't call other users pedophiles or imply they molest minors
Edited from "you" to "someone"
I gave you a specific example. 23yo with 18yo... consensually.
If you think that is pedophilia or rape then you are out of step with the law and with cultural norms.
