I think the line for "honest criticism" and "bashing" is blurred if it even exists. And as @The Grendel said, the site is used as a mirror. The Coli Queens may not do it but other spaces full of women do and this is a board that is largely black and male (I know yall think it's all white pretenders but I think that's exaggerated) so frustrations and conceptual retaliation is gonna emerge.
You will have some people saying some wild shyt about black women on here...and then you will have people who come to their defense even if a post was a true critique.
I think this board has to acknowledge that just about all ethnicities, including us, have cultural standards and frequencies, but every person isn't going to fit or adhere to them, so for the half that has been deemed the initiators (men), there's going to be a downtrodden segment. I think it actually is acknowledged, but unwittingly in non-BM vs BW threads, or in them on some instead of an open mind.
I say all that as someone who gets ignored by ALL women, black, white, silver, pink...
Edit: The frequency of the threads can be bothersome though
