Why r/GenderCritical was banned by Reddit

Hi! TRA here! Thought I'd take a quick breather from all the crowing, high-fiving, etc. to throw a lifeline to any actual open-minded critical thinkers wondering why Reddit banned r/gendercritical. Basically, you have 2 options when it comes to what to believe:

  1. It's a true conspiracy: silicon valley, hollywood & the media are in the thrall of the well-funded TransAgenda, the need for woke points, child-groomers, women-haters, MRAs, etc. etc.
  1. r/GenderCritical was hateful - if you want evidence then go to r/GenderCynical which existed to harvest said hatefulness. Read their strictly enforced rules about hate speech, misogyny, anti-feminism, pile-ons, doxxing, etc. (NB: abbreviating "trans exclusionary radical feminist" is not considered hate speech on this subreddit) and then sort their posts by "top" and "all time" and judge for yourself.

The trans men, trans women and non-binary people of Reddit do not hate women and do not tolerate abuse. Have a better day. x

I think the op actually just misses us tbh.
We get banned and they immediately run over here to start a thread.

I had actually reported this thread, I believe in Freespeech and happy to be argued with by genuine posters who disagree (there have been a few this week) but don't see why MN need to open the place up to trolling that makes the message boards unusable. But actually I'm glad you started this thread and that it's standing because what you can't see is that all the non-anime avitar people around you think this sort of thing is bollocks.

(I will literally lol if "rather unpleasant person" is seen as grounds for deletion. Those female behavioral rules, they truly are a thing of ever expanding wonder.)

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 01/07/2020 08:56

(Prematurely, as it turns out, as the content will just be replicated elsewhere.)

RufustheRowlingReindeer · 01/07/2020 08:56

Thank you very much for changing the deletion message MNHQ

I appreciate it probably doesnt seem very important to you but if I’m going to be deleted I’d much rather it was for something good 🙂

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 01/07/2020 08:55

"Ha ha we succeeded in silencing you on another platform" is not "civil debate", it's just a rather unpleasant person gloating.

Well I've just checked and will need to burn my computer but the subreddit /r/rapeconfessions mentioned on another thread is still working.

As is the men's rights forum.

So yeah, it's going to be option number one. Reddit is full of hateful men and women that want "Cis women" to suck their dicks.

Unless you think those other reddits are "Nice"?

MAP (minor attracted persons) that appear on Twitter also don't get banned like feminists do. So what's that about?

Actually, to be specific, It isn't a conspiracy it's patriarchy. Everyone at the top (of every industry) is male. So yes, they will prioritise male feelings.

Or do you not believe in patriarchy either?

ItsLateHumpty · 01/07/2020 08:54

Yes quite the modd’ing conundrum on this thread as I noted earlier. I mean even the post on this thread admitting OPs other thread was posted as a wind up troll is still standing, as is the troll thread.

Rufus I was bemused I tell ya.

TornadoOfSouls · 01/07/2020 08:53

I read Reddit a lot, you can certainly stumble on things you wish you hadn’t. I’ve read r/gendercritical from time to time and it wasn’t hateful.

Does that mean I can only choose option 1?

Have a better day everyone x

AskDan · 01/07/2020 08:53

OMG..I have been here for years under various usernames and I have got my first ever deletion.

teawamutu · 01/07/2020 08:52

@justanotherneighinparadise

And this would be the thread that turned me from mildly gender critical to vehemently gender critical. Well done OP. What a fucking ridiculous own goal.
They don't get it, do they?

The abuse of JKR and the silencing of women is starting to be noticed and helping us hugely.

The OPs answer to rufus implied 'big ego' was accepted, and no problem with the rest of that post. Confused

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 01/07/2020 08:42

I honestly can see absolutely nothing that can break their rules.

Occasionally HQ seem to take it into their heads to "protect" someone who's being goady simply because it's clear that most women here disagree with them. Enforcing civility on only one side of a debate is a rather odd strategy imo, but there you are.

RufustheRowlingReindeer · 01/07/2020 08:38

I’m always fucking nice

On some threads my mind is thinking one very rude thing even while my fingers type a very polite thing

And I haven’t got them mixed up (yet)

LillianBland · 01/07/2020 08:34

I do believe we’ve just been told to ‘be nice’.

RufustheRowlingReindeer · 01/07/2020 08:34

Actually lillian it might be because I quoted another poster

In which case I’d like the reason for deletion changed please and thank you...

LillianBland · 01/07/2020 08:32

@RufustheRowlingReindeer

Why on earth was i deleted for this?

Ive asked mumsnet 😀

I dont mind being deleted if ive said something awful but saying someone has a big ego isn’t awful

If im deleted id rather it was for calling someone a rude word or something 😀

WTF?! Are some moderators just making up their own ties now or have they deleted your comment by accident? I honestly can see absolutely nothing that can break their rules.
RufustheRowlingReindeer · 01/07/2020 08:30

I didnt chase him away

I said I didnt know why he didnt post on the existing thread

Thats not chasing away...

CoffeeTeaChocolate · 01/07/2020 08:29

They are building an archive at saidit. I think at least some of the peak trans threads are there.

I never had a look at the reddit GC forum, but am horrified that it was closed down, especially as so many other awful subreddits remains. I have now signed up to the rebuilding site.

Some new posts on it suggest that others think like me.

Hi all. We've had a look behind the scenes and can see that the OP has been on the site for a while. We're fine to let this discussion continue.

We've removed some posts on this thread because we don't think it's OK to post in a way that's intended to chase away opposing voices. It's our aim to host a civil discussion and as part of that, we welcome opposing views.

As always, if you have any concerns about a post or poster, please hit the report button and let us know. We're always fine to take a look.

Not to worry, the peak trans threads will no doubt be replicated elsewhere. On the question of other sites that some may be missing, just google "gendertrending".
