* Updated 8th July 2020
* UPDATE 4th July: /r/banfemalehatesubs and /r/blatantmisogy reinstated after threats to alert media about reddit's misogynistic banning of feminist subs and protection of misogynist subs. Details here: https://archive.is/OdSAv, https://archive.is/CAmb9, https://archive.is/g7FPz, https://archive.is/9wjGm, https://archive.is/O6ikt
Let me know on this post (I disabled private messages) if there are any subs I've missed and any additional information about any sub listed. I'm NOT counting subs that have gone private.
NOTE: Check first whether a sub has been banned or just gone private by using the old Reddit url, eg:
http://old.reddit.com/r/subredditname/
For some reason, using old Reddit gives me that information, but using the default newer version often won't.
Attempt by feminists to communicate with Reddit Admin: https://archive.vn/4rdp9 (all "continue this thread" links also archived). Reddit Admin are documented repeatedly demonstrating misogynistic condescension and a refusal to answer questions. They also demonstrated a sudden and pointed double standard in respectfully responding with suggested actions to another user who raised their own concerns in that same thread. Said user had made sure to state that "we are run by a trans admin and were created specifically to include trans women perceived as female".
Reddit admin also demonstrated a sexist, antifeminist double standard in comment removal in that thread: https://ibb.co/4KrcChq. Ceddit pages: https://archive.is/bbecM, https://archive.is/9PP7J
Banned subs:
/r/Gendercritical - Most recent snapshot: http://archive.is/eRh0S the peak trans posts were all archived: https://archive.is/XVLl1 Full archive of content (!!): https://www.rareddit.com/r/GenderCritical/
/r/Gender_critical - Most recent snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20200515175133/https://www.reddit.com/r/Gender_Critical/
/r/radfemtheory - I think this sub was about 1-2 weeks old, and existed only to educate about 2nd wave radical feminist theory. Appears to have been banned because of the presence of radical feminist theory in and of itself. NO trans content as of most recent snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20200626232246/https://www.reddit.com/r/RadFemTheory/
/r/Gendercriticalgerman - apparently this sub was only 7 months old and had about 20 posts, mostly anti-prostitution, ie. it wasn't even trans-focused in content
/r/LDropTheG/ - lesbian sub criticising gay men's misogyny including being TRAs
/r/GCScandinavia - Not trans-focused, mainly focused on surrogacy and prostitition. The only trans posts were links to articles. Most recent snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20200627001118/https://www.reddit.com/r/GCScandinavia/
/r/FinnishGenderCritical - most recent snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20180219185901/https://www.reddit.com/r/FinnishGenderCritical/
/r/thefairersex - not trans-focused. Appears to have been banned because it criticised MEN. Most recent snapshot:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200618161854/https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFairerSex/
/r/JoanneRowling - created in response to how /r/jkrowling had transformed an anti-Rowling sub, its content simply supported JK Rowling. Now banned, for "creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit." As with /r/banfemalehatesubs, the mere discussion of a mass ban, a natural outcome of the banning of a major sub, is being used to ban additional subs Reddit admin simply dislikes under this false pretext. The snapshot from about a day prior to the ban shows that there was no repurposing of the sub: https://archive.is/tTHEE. Archived /r/JoanneRowling post outlining the reasons for creating the sub: https://web.archive.org/web/20200630135844/https://www.reddit.com/r/JoanneRowling/comments/h8654a/my_reasons_for_creating_this_community_and_a/. Copy of that post as quoted elsewhere on Reddit: https://archive.is/IKGja
/r/banfemalehatesubs - now banned [UPDATE: reinstated, see 4th July update above this list], for "creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit." Apparently discussion of the mass ban is a bannable offense. All that sub did was document misogynistic hate subreddits that Reddit chose to leave up. Banned. Most recent snapshot: http://archive.is/tBj79
/r/blatantmisogyny - [UPDATE: reinstated, see 4th July update above this list] banned 1 month before the mass ban.
Subs created on the day of the mass ban or soon after and banned instantly:
/r/wearetheTERFs - banned about 10 minutes after creation.
/r/Femalehuman - banned within an hour of being made.
/r/bywomenforwomen - I think this sub was created within the day of the ban but I'm not sure.
/r/RadFemPregnancy/ (created 2 days after mass ban) - No attempting to discuss your pregnancies without men! Most recent snapshot: https://archive.is/dqSkv
/r/Menstruators
/r/TrueMenstruators
/r/Menstruatorrs
/r/AdultHumanFemalePorn - (name appears to be both a jab at and a cynical attempt to use Reddit's double standard in protecting "trans-excluding" porn subs, all of which are still up)
/r/TruePCOS - Banned hours after creation, a week after the mass-ban, ostenstibly for "creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit." In reality, /r/TruePCOS was created not to circumvent the banning of any sub, but as a new support sub for women with polycystic ovary syndrome who had left or were banned from the original 9-year-old support sub for this medical condition, /r/PCOS, which, in the wake of the mass bans, had suddenly and drastically transformed in focus, rules and punitiveness. Shortly after the mass bans, /r/PCOS was inundated with TRA attempts to force the sub members to adopt their fringe politics, change the language they used to describe their own bodies and compel them to erase womanhood when describing their own suffering caused by this female medical condition. The large amount of resistance from their own membership was attributed to "TERF brigading"and the top mod appealed to Reddit admins, who banned any non-TRA mods and replaced them with their own approved TRA puppets. The sub was then declared an "inclusive community", all dissenters banned and the association of polycystic ovary syndrome with women deemed a bannable offence. Until the time of the mass bans, trans-exclusion had never been an issue on this sub. Rather, the mass bans seemed to embolden TRAs to start policing women describing their own bodies and medical suffering and scold them to only use language that erased their own womanhood when discussing their PCOS, a goal which the TRAs achieved along with banning all discussion of PCOS and its lack of medical research and treatment as a women's issue. Account of events from a member of /r/PCOS: https://imgur.com/a/k0sGJae. Snapshot of /r/PCOS pre-TRA bullshit: https://archive.is/rB03s. First post starting TRA mass-scolding: https://archive.is/HFnCK. More controversy: https://archive.is/lbNIz, https://archive.is/cnxhW, https://archive.is/wip/Hop1u. Announcement of new version of /r/PCOS: https://i.imgur.com/YNcvw7P.png
Need more information about these subs:
/r/genderkritical - does anyone know anything about this sub, like when it was made? I suspect it was made on the day of the mass ban, but I'm not sure.
/r/xxfront - banned 10 days before the mass ban.
/r/JustTransThings
/r/femalehuman - was this created soon after the ban?
/r/pinkstripes
Not feminist subs, but relevant:
Feminist/related subs banned recently, before this mass ban:
/r/Blackpillfeminism - Not trans-focused; appeared to be banned for criticising MEN. Banned about 10 days before the mass ban — not sure how long the sub existed.
/r/freedomismatriarchy - Banned 6 days before the mass ban. Sub created in response to the misogynist sub /r/freedomispatriarchy, which was left up until today's mass ban.
/r/NeovaginaDisasters - Banned 7 months before mass ban. Most recent snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20190703164033/https://www.reddit.com/r/neovaginadisasters/
/r/PDWWatch - Banned 1 month before the mass ban for "harassing content". Sub was named in reference to misogynist stalker sub /r/Pink_Pill_Watch (which is still up despite its "harassing content"). /r/PDWWatch existed to keep track of and showcase abuse from /r/people_drawing_women, a misogynist porn sub created in outrage over the existence of the sub /r/mendrawingwomen, which ridicules the sexism in men's artwork. /r/people_drawing_women repeatedly posted sexualised drawings of children as young as 10 (which were often not even "aged up" to attempt to get away with it). These pedophilic drawings were left up after being reported with links to proof of the characters' ages; Reddit chose to leave them up despite pornographic drawings of minors violating Reddit TOS. The same users are responsible for the misogynist sub /r/ProMaleCollective, and coordinated to mass-report /r/PDWWatch, succeeding in their abuse of the report system to get it banned, despite their own documented behaviour violating Reddit TOS (harassment, pornographic drawings of minors). As for "harassing behaviour", posts on /r/PDWWatch always removed all identifying info, but /r/people_drawing_women posted screencaps with the intent to target and harass /r/MenDrawingWomen users, stalking them across Reddit, an issue which Reddit refused to address, even when reported. /r/people_drawing_women is still up.
