Wow, did it really get to that point? I honestly had to distance myself from the sub due to a troubling increase in content with thinly veiled racism. Some may say this isn't a big deal but hate is hate even if it's whispered. I know GCers come from a variety of backgrounds but I hope hateful people will be kept out this time around. Some GC women are Jewish, Muslim, black, etc. and deserve to feel welcomed too. Islam doesn't necessarily have to be used as a force for misogyny just as Christianity doesn't have to either. I don't think it makes sense to say one is incompatible with feminism while the other isn't.

The Islam sub has a post up that some of the "2000" banned subs were Muslim subs that "includes a lot of subreddits that literally just posted photos of mosques, updates to prayer times and local Muslim celebrations and positive news coming from various locales."

They also claim that subreddits that promote mass killings of Muslims have been left untouched.

I found another place that says againsthatesubreddits targeted them, but the post I found there was just "yay they are banned" with no description why.
