I was just added to a group chat by a friend who I have not talked to in many moons. Good friend, known him from highschool, chill guy, does cosplay. He opened a discord chat for other israelis who are currently trapped at home bc of the war.

I join the server and notice that there’s a game of gartic phone going on, so of course, I join in. Many laughs are had, silly drawings abound.

I immediately notice two of the guys are… edgy. Incredibly liberal usage of the hebrew N-word, “ironic” misogyny jokes, you know the drill.

Except this time, they tried getting me in on it. I was the only other cis guy in the chat and no hint of fruit in my voice, so I figure they figured I’d be a likeminded individual to share in their hatred of women and how shallow they are.

I kept shutting that shit down and commenting on how their views on women were both unrealistic and harmful to themselves.

I don’t want a medal or anything it just SUCKS when people assume “my team” is one I do not subscribe to IN THE SLIGHTEST.
