Hot take (apparently): Women deserve to be taken seriously.
“RAGING FEMINIST” (apparently)
Hysterical.
If you're not uncomfortable, I'm not being radical enough
Good art seeks to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable
Just annoying
At this stage, I hope you're annoyed. I'm angry as hell, and I have no time for bottom feeders that can't look up. You should turn your annoyance into anger and fear, because the truth is, everyone should feel that way. Don't worry though; when fascism fucks up your life, I won't even bother saying "told you so."

Rage like California wildfire.
And here I thought that old "SFW porn gif" reddit sub was an original idea...
That's actually a pretty sick piece of art though.
I see this as malicious compliance, and I love it.
Did she dial down the Feminism? If she didn't I wouldn't call it compliance since she didn't actually do that.
Isn't art about uh... Expressing yourself?
That is a great piece of art

Turn that shit upI just had a flashback to playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater after school
"Turn down for what"
I want one that goes up to eleven
Why not just make "raging feminist" louder?
But it doesn't have any units. It's an arbitrary scale mapping outputs to numerals.
I there with ya
I want that guitar pedal
You can get kits online for pretty cheap, and probably make something like this yourself if you really wanted to. Just get a kit to make a fuzz pedal or overdrive, and do some custom modifications to the enclosure.
It's got to be a boost or an overdrive right?
Nah, it's a tone knob
It looks like this dial can go a little beyond the current setting. Give it a try!
Which side is down and which is up?
"raging feminism" often actually causes increased misogyny. This dial is the perfect metaphor, because somewhere in the middle is "staunch advocacy" that actually creates progress
That nice girl feminism got us to lose abortion rights. I'm in the vengeance stage whether you like it or not.
Americans lost abortion rights because of the piss-weak Democratic party relying on a shaky legal foundation to keep them in place rather than legislating it themselves at any of the times they controlled the Senate, House, and White House under Carter, Clinton, Obama, or Biden. All of whome had a period where that was the case. It's not feminists of any sort that are to blame.

Are you fucking high?!
Radical, illogical levels of misogyny are not an altered state of consciousness. Evil is mundane.
Nope, I'm very lucid. If you haven't seen people's reaction to "raging feminism" then you haven't been paying attention. Most people who are already on your side will give you a "yassss gurl", but most people who aren't already on your side will react by moving in the opposite direction.
To reiterate, i specifically said that the "doing nothing" side of the dial is wrong too. Be a strong advocate, but don't try to "burn it all down", because that'll cause the opposite effect of what you're trying to achieve
It really doesn't. But it does make raging misogynists pissy and insecure.
This comes off weird. Especially when in context to the post.
The point of the dial is there is no middle ground. You either take it quietly or you're a troublemaker.
I don't mean to diminish the larger point you're making about feminism not having middle ground, but from an interface design perspective, a dial very much implies a continuum of settings. When there isn't middle ground, the interface should be a toggle switch instead.
Of course this is art, not a real device, so obviously a dial is appropriate because it's a response to being told to "dial down," not "switch off."
(I almost feel like there could've been something different about the way the dial was depicted -- maybe with a range with "raging feminist" next to "complicit" and something more extreme above it, or maybe indeed using a toggle instead of a dial -- in order to emphasize that "raging feminist" already is as "dialed down" as you could reasonably ask for, but such UI realism would probably just clutter up the design without improving the message. As art, I think the artist got it right as-is.)
I fully agree. This applies not only to feminism but in general - if you want to convince people about something, you need to plan your approach, what to say, know what works on people etc. You cannot just rage like crazy because there's a high chance you just create a counter reaction.
F.e. I'd say we can all agree that gay rights are the right thing. But if you come to some conservative village, start shouting at everyone, being super aggresive and rage like a maniac, I'd bet that the only thing you achieve is that you'll be labeled as "that crazy person"
I'm really surprised of the responses to this comment, I find this to be a common sense
The point of art is not necessarily to convince. What if her point is to call for action, to nurture debate or to get attention to something that doesn't get space in people's minds. It's a piece of art, not a PhD thesis.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

The closer a person and the people they care about get to the chopping block the less common sense it seems.
