ah...they pretty much did win on Reddit (to be more accurate they convinced the refs to throw the game to them). I don't really see any point in denying it. We have no subs left Any GC opinions on there are going to at a minimum get abuse and probably just get you banned. I'd be surpised if they even keep allowing radical feminism not connected with trans issues.

If anything on the internet, especially a misogynistic shithole like Reddit, is making you suicidal I think it's best to just stay away from it. It comes close to self-harming at this point I think. Eventually, I hope there will be a reaction to all this censorship when most people still know that trans males are not women. TRAs do not understand the long game. It's going to have to run its course but right now things are honestly really scary.

That's a very good way to describe it 'self harming.' I figure reddit doesn't deserve women on its platform and any woman who desperately tries to stay there to talk sanely is like a form of self harming.

They banned the radical feminist mothering sub and vegan radical feminists, neither of which had anything to do with trans issues. So it seems they just hate radfems in general.

I think the argument was that people should do it subtly and covertly. Like if we all of a sudden had a few hundred radical feminists on AskWomen the tone of the conversations would be different, even if no one said anything about trans issues.

True. I should have quit that place a long time ago. It's too bad because there were a few people I liked, and God knows there's pretty much zero representation of GNC women there, but it's not a healthy environment. Being around women who hate themselves and don't understand the patriarchy isn't good for me mentally.

Yeah and they leave disgusting porn and blatant misogynistic shit like Red Pill alone I think the admins literally do have a problem with women, certainly with feminists that don't bow and scrape to men and males. Even with their ridiculous definition of "hate speech" I can't imagine what "hate" they'll say feminists talking about parenting or veganism were promoting.

I'm sure you gave that AskWomen sub a valuable perspective they wouldn't often get and it's sad that Reddit has become so toxic and they just want to make it into an echo chamber but I just don't see how it can be changed right now. There are all kinds of stuff about TRAs just watching every sub that is created and reporting stuff with like two members if any of them have "incorrect posting history" probably they will start going after individuals who post "incorrect" opinions in the main subs as well. They already have a stranglehold on the mod positions in those subs, especially anything that is connected to women at all.

I'm sure you're right. At least for a while, they're going to be carefully scrutinizing everything on Reddit. At the same time, you can't erase 65,000 people that easily. I think that's where the main GC sub was in membership before it was banned, not counting lurkers.
