By that logic, I have seen hardcore misandry on many of the feminist forums. Many even talk about killing their partners or harming their body parts routinely. Even moderators respond positively to those comments sometimes. But hey, it doesn’t fit their narrative and there would be a shitstorm if they banned such forums. “Reddit bans popular feminist forum, paving a new way for misogyny”
My point is they only ban the ones that don’t fit their narrative or their political views and they know they can get away with.
- dubswithus 4y agoI thought /r/FemaleDatingStrategy was banned. It's still up though.
- Invictus0 4y agoWhat's wrong with it?
- HideousKojima 4y agoIt could basically be renamed "/r/HowToGoldDig" and still be accurate
- Invictus0 4y agoAnd what's wrong with that? And why is that against the rules?
- dubswithus 4y agoThe women there see men as porn addicted, revolting, abusive pigs. I think I'm understating it a bit. But you get the gist. It's the female incel.
- namlem 4y agoIt was quarantined but not banned.
- themitigating 4y ago"My point is they only ban the ones that don’t fit their narrative or their political views and they know they can get away with." What evidence do you have for this accusation?
- Levitz 4y agotwoXchromosomes,or blackpeopletwitter are unapologetically bigoted subs which stay untouched.
- LgWoodenBadger 4y agoBlackpeopletwitter is not bigoted, and definitely not unapologetically so. It may come across that way to you, but black people talking about their actual experiences caused by non-black people in a way that makes a non-black uncomfortable does not mean it’s bigoted.
- Levitz 4y agoRequiring users to send pictures of themselves in order to tag them black / not black and restricting posters in specific threads to black people or nonblacks that pass a test is absolutely 100% bigoted. It may be bigotry some are open to accept, but it's bigotry nonetheless. And even ignoring that, Reddit would never allow the reverse to happen.
- themitigating 4y agoHow do you know?
- superduperuser 4y agoThings might have changed since I was forced to unsub due not being able to comment because I refused to prove to a few subreddit mods that i am indeed a person of color. Around that time, many if not all of the threads ended up being closed due to the the dramatic arguments that formed when users posted political/racial commentary to the sub; which is to be expected. I believe the real problem was when comments from users who portrayed themselves as POC felt their voices were less pronounced due to the downvotes and negative replies. Understandable So they decided to lock the sub down for anyone except those who accepts a segregated bubble and willingness to prove their "blackness" in order to post an opinion
- lozenge 4y agoThe only thing reddit cares about is negative PR. If you generate enough negative press about that sub you can get it banned.
- Xeoncross 4y agoI feel like this is where our litigation-based society has gotten us. Laws don't decide things anymore, outrage PR + a potential/real wave of lawsuits do. If you think about it, that doesn't seem too bad until you realize a lot of of the negative PR is manufactured by only taking part of the story and using it out of context. Sometimes even approaching propaganda or conspiracies.

- stjohnswarts 4y agoOf course, they're a private business. They don't have to have a reason to delete a subreddit, just the desire. The community can leave as well and form their own equivalent forum. You have the right to speak your mind, but no one can be forced to listen to it on their own website.
- vivekd 4y agoThe problem I have with this logic is that many of these sites have become so big that they are effective monopolies. Alternative sites are hard to have your voice heard on and sparsely populated. Its a problem when the biggest forums for discussion on the internet takes their cues on free speech from North Korea
- watwut 4y agoThere are also incel subreddits and super open misogynists subs on reddit. It is not just true that they somehow don't exist. The few that got closed regularly went out of their way to brigade other subs. But the rest of them is happily flourishing there.
