Sensitive content
In the end the new #Datenschleuder made it here, and yeah, the cover looks the way how others have posted and indeed has the completely unacceptable sexist message on it, basically saying that only a dead man is a good man. That’s the direct implication, there is no other way to read this!
As I’ve said before: Imagine this the other way around! You’d have to go to ultra-fringe incels to see this about women. But somehow this is supposedly okay in club whose charta has always condemned all forms of bigotry and issued a declaration of incompatibility if you hold those believes. A declaration that accompanied this edition as a fold-out poster FFS!
And I can already see what would happen if a cis men would complain about this. Half the people would decent on him, call him an MRA, sarcastically would talk about “not all men”-posting, completely missing the point that the problem with bigotry is not that it hits the wrong people, but that it hits anyone!
Basically: Men are supposed to be fine with behavior that is tamer than this being labeled „toxic masculinity“, but because this is targeting men, it’s not masculinity and therefore supposedly fine? As in: The issue really was the “masculinity” part and not the “toxic” part after all? Is that the message we should send?
Frankly, I want an apology of the responsible people for this and an acknowledgement that this is not okay!
