Why r/GenderCritical was banned by Reddit

[MadBadDaddy]

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

[RufustheRowlingReindeer]

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)

[TheProdigalKittensReturn]

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.

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

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.

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

[TornadoOfSouls]

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

[ItsLateHumpty]

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.

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?

[TheProdigalKittensReturn]

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

[RufustheRowlingReindeer]

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]

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

[TheProdigalKittensReturn]

(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.)

[Smegmaballet]

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.

[Beerincomechampagnetastes]

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

[TheProdigalKittensReturn]

No point, Smeg, apparently the decision has already been made that it's very important to civil debate to let this particular thread stand.

[RufustheRowlingReindeer]

Its too early for this

[justanotherneighinparadise]

They don't get it, do they?

Nope.

[ItsLateHumpty]

It’s wine o’clock here - cheers🍻

[Smegmaballet]

Sorry, that's what I was saying. Even though I did report it at first do to the trolly nature of it, I am glad they will let it stand actually.

It's quite useful for people to see a gloaty fucker allowed to admit to trolling on MN and still be allowed to get on with it.

It says it all really, doesn't it?

[TheProdigalKittensReturn]

I just find it interesting that blatant goading is "civil" as long as it's not women who have concerns about gender ideology doing it.

[RufustheRowlingReindeer]

Is it humpty

I got up early cos bloody FIL knocked on the front door at 7.45am, dh threw himself down the stairs

The children have gone nocturnal and I’m not getting up til 9 usually

And then i got all stressed...i was having palpitations 😩 I’m very sensitive.

Im ok now though

[DickKerrLadies]

If threads started by self-admitted trolls are going to remain from now on, I don't think I'd mind that.

I think even I'd be surprised by the sheer number of troll threads that are usually deleted if they were to be left up - even if they were to be locked. As depressing as it would be to see, it would be illuminating at least.

(This post is not trollhunting - as the OP has admitted trolling, so I am hoping this does not break talk guidelines and won't be deleted)
