Why r/GenderCritical was banned by Reddit

It was banned because the group/s organising against it could see how exponentially the space was growing.

Not because of anything the women of r/GC were doing - that credit goes to the increasingly unstable and unhinged behaviour of transactivists. The treatment of JKR for daring to insinuate biology is real has been waking up thousands of people, especially women.

It's pretty obvious the sub was on target for maybe 100k subs by year end.

This is why it had to go and they pretty much admit it in their own discussions.

Women talking to each other is dangerous and inconvenient to men. Women have been suppressed by men for a millennia on this basis.

ItsLateHumpty said that she isn't making a point, merely an observation that the moderation on this thread has already been different to the moderation on most threads as per The Talk Guidelines.

And it is indeed an interesting observation.

and in that time deleted posts from FWR regulars but left standing the replies quoting those deleted posts that were made by other bear posters

Why have I got a "beware" bear lol, why not just ask MN instead of bat signals as my guess is as good as yours why quotes are left standing if posts are taken down, they're usually deleted too along with a deleted as quotes deleted post| message

But we have.
We know r/gendercritical.
It was a good resource, in the main.

Though you're right. People say all sort of shit on the internet.

You're best off reading for yourself, skimming over the posts that have nothing to back them up, and taking each argument on its merits.
For that reason I'd dismiss some things I'd see on there. But others would inspire me to delve deeper.

Interesting 🤔

MN closed this thread to ‘look behind the scenes’ and in that time deleted posts from FWR regulars but left standing the replies quoting those deleted posts that were made by other posters.

And as the content is still there, I fail to see where the comments have broken our special guidelines.

Also interesting is the other thread talked about here that OP admits to starting as a troll is also still standing.

I don’t have any point - it’s just an interesting observation.

Fear women all you like OP You won't shut us up.

Never been on Reddit btw.

‘You have two options what to believe’

Really? Only two? Seems like you’re setting up a false binary there. How narrow-minded and bigoted of you. Surely the truth exists more on, say, a spectrum?

Reddit is disgisting. They allow /r rape and misogyny but dare say anything about men and you're shut down. They have pedo /r's and still left to go on.

I guess the delightful list of subReddits with a whole range of anti-women, 'rapey' stuff is totes ok and not at all bigoted. Because it's obviously fine by Reddit.

So we women MUST be wrong about wanting to protect ourselves. And horrible bigots.

Or maybe.... There's the stench of sexism and misogyny in the air again.

It’s cute that you’re acting as if you are concerned for the spiritual welfare of the women here (gosh, they might have the wrong opinion about gender critical! What a nice chap you are to come and warn them!) when we all know you would have no problem documenting the “hate” you find here. And by “hate” we all know that what really gets you seething is the thought of women disagreeing with you.

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.

Have you met some of those white male supremacist tech d00dz from silicon valley, or watched a Hollywood movie full of white male supremacists lately, or seen the white male supremacists on the nightly news and the TV shows?
Srsly! #1 is kinda obvious, innit?
Believe it or not there are white male supremacists who actually think white males are the majority population in the world and so they are entitled to dictate to the rest of us.

No one here is surprised.

I'm only surprised it existed on there for so long.

Reddit has no problem with woman hatred. Rape torture and abuse of women is some of their most popular subs.
It is women speaking for themselves that reddit finds hateful.
No one here is surprised.

People went to war and defeated Nazis. People climb mountains, explore remote forests and discover lost cities. Ordinary people have dug survivors out of earthquakes, protected homes from bushfires and saved their friends from sharks. Some people get up every morning and care for children or old people or go to jobs they hate, but do it anyway.

But some keyboard warriors got an internet forum closed and they’re celebrating their achievements?

Here, let me wave a damp sock at you in case the ticker tape parades are late.

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.

Well Reddit is full of those things. When they ban 65k feminist women but keep multiple subs celebrating rape, abuse and grooming of children it's difficult to see them as anything else than MRAs on steroids.

Perhaps you could come back here when you have a solid plan to tackle those things. Seeing as you allegedly don't hate women.

We can't have enough of that!

Yes I'm struggling to see the downside from a MN perspective.

Equally all these lovely new user threads have been brilliant in demonstrating the issues at hand regarding women's rights and the pernicious attitudes and motivations of hardcore trans activists.

Oh that’s fab. I’m looking forward to all those lovely GC women joining us. The more the merrier, I say. MNHQ will be very pleased to see their numbers of subscribers increase.

So many fab new joiners here and on spinster. Easier to organise with so many fired up women in the one place. Weird business model for reddit and hardly anything to crow about especially on FWR which is reaping the benefits. Justine will be pleased. Own goal? Didn't think it through? Nevermind.

At least that kicked off some ok discussion despite the OP - I doubt this will.
