I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

      Friend, you gotta not care about downvotes. If you bring attention to it, you’ll get folks downvoting you just for that. And if you comment a second time, like you did here, you’re going to get downvoted all to hell in the second one. Since it’s obvious that you care, and folks on the internet love to irritate each other over nothing.

      Future reference- just don’t look at your comments again after you make them, unless you’ve come back because someone replied to you. No need to obsess over things you’ve said anyway. The internet will hate some, love some, and it won’t always make a lick of sense. Put it behind you and don’t concern yourself with it.

        Thanks for mansplaining how to use Lemmy. Seriously though, it’s not that i care about downvotes, but rather I would prefer someone offer an actual counter-point vs simply downvoting. If something I say is wrong or bad then i want to know why. If what the other people say are reasonable then i may adjust my viewpoint.

        Also sometimes I want to edit my comment to clarify something. If i feel that i misrepresented what I was trying to say (i.e. that most anime, not ALL anime have fanservice) then why wouldn’t I want to edit the post? Otherwise I’m purposely letting people misunderstanding one of the things I said. That doesn’t make much sense to do.

          ‘Mansplaining’ requires the explaining person to be a man.

          You’re entitled to having an opinion. You’re allowed to share that opinion. You aren’t entitled to people stopping to tell you why they think you’re wrong. Nobody owes you the time to stop and explain things to you.

          And receiving downvotes doesn’t necessarily mean someone thinks you’re wrong. It could just be that you’re being needlessly antagonistic. An example of this, is how I’m removing my sympathy upvotes to your previous comments. You obviously didn’t need my sympathy.

            Isn’t mansplaining more of a general term these days? I hear both men and women mansplain regularly

              I found mansplain on Merriam Webster, and also on Wikipedia. The Merriam Webster article says “of a man,” and the wikipedia article says “for a man” at the start.

              Usually for these things I’d be all for abolishing the gendered nature of the word, but I feel like it would dilute the original meaning. So if anything, instead of gender-normalizing ‘mansplain,’ I think we need to add ‘womansplain,’ which is something I’m very guilty of doing to my partner whenever he’s cooking because I keep forgetting that it’s something he does very well.

              But also, my reply still has merit here, because that individual was obviously weaponizing ‘mansplain’ to try and gender me, a woman, when what they likely wanted to convey was that they found me condescending. They shouldn’t be appropriating a gendered word to say something else they mean, so… uh. Sorry for all the extra words. I took my ADHD medication today and language discussion fascinates me.

                Great for you. But what its definition is and how it is used obviously differs, as you as a woman is mansplaining mansplaining 😄

                I do find you incredibly condescending. I do not believe that has anything to do with your gender, however you are being very condescending.

                Also I use mansplain regardless of gender. A lot of people do. I don’t know why this offends you. It sounds like you’re looking for something to be offended by (see, THAT is a condescending tone. See how that sounds? That’s what you do.)
