Yet more Reddit censorship (women’s lib sub banned)

You and your ilk are nasty hypocrites Chris. Your mates spout such misogynistic, bitter, bitchy and plain nasty comments about women and these posts still stand. The mods are ok with this presumably? "Shit-talk" is ok as long as it flows one way- towards women.
Jealousy is not a nice trait

Have you actually seen how r/transgenderUK speaks about women - the biological kind, not the identity kind? Why aren't they banned for hate speech, or is that OK because - you know - the "most vulnerable and marginalised"™ of all? Tell that to women in Afghanistan, where the new legal code puts women on the very bottom rung of society, alongside slaves. The sheer arrogant maleness in your post is SO revealing.

Is the 'apple' part of your username in reference to your Adams apple per chance?

This is beyond eye-watering and past falling-off-the-chair levels of hypocrisy, given the levels of shit talking about anyone remotely GC in the trans reddit sub.

“Hateful homophobia”….disingenuous dude! Homosexuality is same sex attraction.

Unlike Twitter, Reddit actually has active moderation which it enforces. Hateful homophobia and transphobia is not allowed there, and making a sub to fill the purpose of an already banned sub is not allowed.

It is time to accept Reddit just isn't the place to trash talk trans people, non?

I know, right?

I thought we terfs were supposed to be the total saddoes with no life and no friends. At least, that's how TRAs like to portray us.

Yet another thing they're taking away from us! 😆

Ooooh that exciting buzz of the notifications coming in. 🙄

Your favourite subs just "shit-talk" ( what an awful expression) women though Chris
And that's hateful but typical of many men. Such bitterness

Or an r/I’m a snitch and a prick sub?

Is there an r/boring mansplaining prick sub?

And then people like @Christinapple are surprised when in the real world most people are ok with single sex services and sports

@Christinapple, from my own experience you don't need to be "shit talking" trans people to get banned from trans subs. A kind, carefully worded comment which implies you're not 100% TWAW for all purposes and circumstances can get you banned. And lesbian subreddits are constantly under attack, if their definition of lesbianism excludes men.

Subreddits like transgenderuk have become extreme echo chambers with only rare dissenting voices. I appreciate trans people want a supportive space where they don't need to justify their existence to random passers-by, but a complete lack of dialogue around hot topics such as trans inclusion in sport, can't be a good thing.

The trigger-happy mods exclude moderate, sympathetic voices, and with them, the possibility of reaching rational compromises or changing minds, on both sides. It's a good thing to stress-test and reality-check one's arguments.

I helped make Reddit a less hateful place even more of an echo chamber than it already is

And people try and tell us MN is an echo chamber!

It works, because I lasted only a couple of days on Reddit before being banned. The guardian I was around longer but was also permanently banned from there for GC posts.

But ultimately this manufactured echo chamber is self defeating. When you talk to a lot of broadly left leaning people who have only been exposed to the reddit/guardian view of these issues, and you engage them in debate, they lose and lose badly because they have zero understanding of the GC point of view.

Don't worry it just took a few mins and seeing the notifications coming in later that the users (and later the sub) were wiped from the face of Reddit was worth it. I helped make Reddit a less hateful place.

I do like it when such subs appear and I can take a look before they get banned. It means a lot of homophobes and transphobes in one place so I can report them all in just a few minutes (hate and threats are against the rules on reddit) then watch my notifications that come over the next few days letting me know the users were getting temp or perma bans.

What a life! 😄
There's a whole world out there, Chris. Don't be afraid to get out and explore it.

I do love how these blokes prove our point every time. They just cannot stop themselves.

"being able to discuss matters that actually affected us"

What you mean is you are upset reddit isn't providing you with a space to shit-talk trans people?

I have seen other r/gendercritical resurrection attempts on reddit, some subs pretending to be about "lesbian rights", that have appeared on reddit and then get banned, and every single post on there is just hate towards trans people. The most common posts are hateful implications that every trans person is a sex offender/potential sex offender, posts with a strange fixation on toilets or sick "jokes" about suicide. The usual "tropes".

And they say trans people are the most "Vulnerable and Marginalised"! 🙄 I was a member of r/gendercritical until the boys in charge decided they didn't like us women being able to discuss matters that actually affected us personally, rather than centring the most V & M in all things.

I haven't seen the "women's liberation" sub myself

We are most profoundly grateful for your knowledgeable, wise and expert contribution on this topic.

Yawn

I haven't seen the "women's liberation" sub myself but from what people are saying it's clear it was an attempt to resurrect the banned r/gendercritical as it was about shit-talking trans people and nothing else. It also served as a fan club for JKR apparently with one of the sub rules demanding no one "disrespect" her. No disrepect for the Don, Jo!

"About 9/10 of all their posts are just rehashed transphobic articles and talking points. It’s really a bizarre feeling to have whole subreddits solely focused on trans exclusion, discrimination and scapegoating. so many of the posts are just screenshots of [JK Rowling's] stupid tweets."

How on earth does square ‘remember the human’ with also allowing multiple subreddits devoted to weird, degrading, derogatory pornography of women?!

As long as it centres the male gaze and the male orgasm then Reddit allows it 🤬

r/blockedandreported was pretty gender critical last time I looked. It is about the blocked and reported podcast. Ultimately the censorship will only do them harm because people will go elsewhere to discuss what's important to them.
