the point is that a lot of these examples of similar severity that happen to women would get rallying and protests from time to time, yet the MRA movement doesn’t say a word when these examples of patriarchy hurt men
school bullying and blue-collar work forcing definitely discriminate against men. there’s similar issues that also affect women, one prominent one being (generally white-collar) workplace discrimination
the vast majority of men are in favor of criminalizing rape of any kind

You shouldn’t be posting that without the context in that comment:
FYI, the article was presumably taken down because many of the quotes turned out to have been fabricated, and they said they were investigating this. (I don’t think that they are trying to cover up anything, just that they have not gotten around to written an official response yet, given that this is a recent development.)
Ugh, that is utterly disappointing to see from Ars Technica. Here’s a bit of context about it: https://mastodon.social/@nikclayton/116065459933532659
Fortunately, the article was already archived, for what it’s worth: https://web.archive.org/web/20260213194851/https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/after-a-routine-code-rejection-an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-someone-by-name/
Their back end now has to have the compute power to encode and serve up gigabits of streaming video for anything more than ~50 concurrent users
it’s actually the customers’ bandwidth, not theirs. everything is self-hosted by the customer.
not sure if that’s worse
it seems like they sometimes need to stream the finished app coded, too
(still no need for 60 fps…)
useless
People are paying them for it, so it’s useful enough apparently.
i have never heard someone say “not wrong” other than a context like “not even wrong”
well that’s the proportion that thinks it’s wrong, not the proportion that thinks it should be criminalized. one reason is what you’ve pointed out in your first paragraph.
and even this statistic comes with a caveat. according to https://thebetterindia.com/134673/survey-nfhs-marital-rape-india/, it’s 42%, which places only 58% of men as against marital rape. that is a majority but it’s not what i’d call a “vast” majority at all. it seems plausible that at least 50% could be against criminalization if 42% don’t even think it’s morally wrong. (interestingly, 52% of women don’t think it’s morally wrong either.)
