On both sides of what? What are you even talking about? And what other media, exactly, is providing not only a public mouthpiece to, but also driving steady streams of traffic directly toward, unabashed misogynists and bigots? I'll wait... π
You can definitely take your dogwhistles and white supremacist apologism and fuck right off with it tho π
The misogynist and the peope who think to have some special right just because they are from $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY
TV for one, or you are saying that channels like Fo New are harmless ?
But more generally every media is suitable to spread misinformation, some better than other, and I agree that currently social media are better at the "work", but it is not that before social media we have not misinformations, misogyny and violent extremism.
Social media is only a big resonance chamber for the $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY that cry louder (and I am sure that you would understand why if you were not blinded by hate for tech companies) and they are getting more credit than they deserve.
To make you understand a little better (I hope) look at all the "go woke, go broke" rethoric. It is obvious that if you make a product following the demands of, say, 5% of the potential audience you cannot expect more than 5% of the potential audience like the product (ok, maybe a little more) and everyone who can think understand this.
But no, the $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY must blame the social media if the product bomb, when often not even the majority of $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY that demanded the product "use" it (be a movie, a game or whatever else) and then start to call else (the remaining 95% of the audience) misogynist and everything else just becasue they don't like what $MINORITY_OF_THE_DAY like.
Probably better than to discuss with you about this.
Awww did i hurt the poor wittle racist's feelings? How sad π€£π
It is interesting that you are not answering my point... Good work
