Those tweets are infuriating. That having been said SRS has a shit ton of baggage and as long as Laurelai roams there I have no problem disparaging it. Laurelai's behavior, and the cover-up and apologetic behavior of the mods of /r/lgbt are a stain upon the feminist movement and I hate that they're the snapshot of feminism on reddit, because they're not.
Take the top post in SRS right now as an example, there are things in that subreddit that are very obviously misogynistic and then there are things that they simply "don't like" or are unwilling to even have a discussion about. The comments in that subreddit are just as insidious and redunctionary as the commentary they proclaim to be against. It's done in some sort of tongue-in-cheek irony style, but it's not, it's gross and annoying to read.
The mob mentality is bad either way, and the tweets are a gross depiction of the dark side of reddit. But for every post in SRS, I encounter dozens of trolls every day that are downvoted for homophobia, racism and misogyny.
