Troons should stay out of places designated for ladies. Did Yaniv teach us nothing?

you're right of course.

Meowthkip seems happy with the arrangement and I'm not inclined to force change, though if it continues to slow down it'd probably be prudent to change it to something broader.


I wanted to keep the word Lolcow in the name but couldn't think of anything better.


In general, I do not like cow allegories. "Yee-haw pardners, this lol heifer is so full of lol milk, le's get 'er down to the lol barn so we can suckle on those sweet lol teets. Jus' be careful not to cow tip before she's ready to send off to the lol slaughterhouse to be made into lol steak, y'all." super cringe seeing people unironically type like this.

Uh, nigger it's literally what you did. lol like what the fuck is wrong with you?

Cool change. Don't like the name Deathfats though. It just seems like a lame made up word to use, when there's plenty of better fitting and more humorous words that could've been used. There is much potential when it comes to words to make fun of fat people and this one is simply not up to my standards, which happen to be very high when it comes to insults.

"Death fat" originates from the community in question. I thought it was original HAEScow Kate Harding that coined it, but it was probably only popularized by Harding and Marianne Kirby in their blogs and 2009 book. It seems likely that a different landwhale coined it, one Lesley Kinzel. At any rate, the term isn't random or made up (at least not by Null).

 

[Twinkie]

It originated from some fatty pointing out the perceived absurdity of the term "morbidly obese" (death fat). She wrote a followup whining about how the term had taken off in the worst way abloo bloo bloo. I don't have it handy but I bet the articles were posted in the FA thread at least once.

Can the Deathfats have prefixes that include their weight or approximate weight range?

 

[???]

Wait, this site previously kowtowed to troons?

I'd prefer it be how long it'll be till they're bedbound or dead.

 

[L50LasPak]

I'm not sure when the name got changed to Lolcow Salon but that's a pretty happy medium between all the various suggestions for it.

A lot of woman-oriented forums and subreddits have been infected by trannies, and this site is to offer a refuge by not giving in their demands. I doubt that TERFs and hardcore feminists would find KF particularly attractive though.

 

[Twinkie]

There was an influx of TERFs thanks to Yaniv. Not sure how many tbh, but he's been a TERF attraction. They're actual girls at least.

Yeah, I do wonder about that. The main TERF strongholds off the top of my head seem to be /r/Gendercritical, Spinster and Mumsnet and I get the feeling that crowd is more in the conservative christian boomer demographic and content to stay on their own sites.
My guess is that the likely candidates to migrate here are younger women who are either in the "Anti-SJW"/rudefem category or former lefty feminists who realised the current lefty feminist movement is about worshipping the ladydick, so they want a place to vent that isn't the big three boomer TERF sites.

 

[Lackadaisy]

I think this was a great change. Nice to see the off topic stuff have new life breathed into it.

 

[Henry Wyatt]

DSP is now the only non-tranny in the Lolcow Cults list. We might just need a dedicated tranny corral at this point.

i thought thats what lazora/rat kings were for (general lgbt lolcows most of which were troons)

Didn’t mumsnet get semi-taken over?

Oh, did it? I never kept up with it or anything so all I know is people telling me some time ago it was terf mom central.

We got some refugees from it IIRC.

it's a small dippy change but it makes me laugh that you've named it that, so thanks
