I am neither shouting, nor being shouted at, but I use reddit a lot, and the large default subs are rampant with racism and sexism, and people defending the same. And when people from marginalized groups say hey, this is not cool, and you ignore them or call them rabble-rousers, that is exactly what you are doing.

There are also a lot of rather large subs like /r/shit____says that serve as downvote brigades to harass people over their opinion. It's online-bullying at its worst.

  /r/shitredditsays is liberal-leaned and is supported by the administration.

    >is supported by the administration. Well duh, hence why fatpeoplehate got banned and shitredditsays stays because they're pretty much the same subreddit, except the latter actually breaks the rules.

      shitredditsays engages in open active vote manipulation, which is against the rules.

Except for that time that fatpeoplehate doxxed the staff at Imgur on reddit when Imgur no longer tolerated FPH posting images of fat people to laugh at on their servers.

        In this case, "doxxed" means "taking the staff pictures from the Imgur website, putting them in a collage, and adding a caption that says 'even the dog is fat'" Context is important.

> And when people from marginalized groups say hey, this is not cool, and you ignore them or call them rabble-rousers You can also just do what everyone on reddit does: label them a SJW, a term with near-limitless utility on reddit, and dismiss them. Anyone with a mind toward social issues will be labeled a SJW in short order, and for some reason that particular accusation resonates with much of the reddit community. This is all just my experience, of course.
