Wrt r/GC, most likely as a troll precaution, not saying OP is one necessarily. RF has been constantly framed as white feminism to discredit it, despite so many women of all colors within it. If accusing it as white feminism outright doesn't stick, calling it racist is another way to skin it.

but the constant buddying up with the alt-right makes it extremely difficult for me to do so.

OP u/meerkat, on one hand, if you demand purity and cut off anyone who agrees with you on two stances but disagree on two other, you will be sadly disappointed that the resulting movement population would be tiny tiny and will not be able to enact changes that require the participation of these "impure" ones. Even within one's own family unit, most would find it hard to find total compatibility.

On the other hand, to agree with "impure" ones on two issues doesn't mean you agree with them on all of theirs. Pretty sure you agree on climate change and pedophilia with these same people you demand RF not show agreement with, including religious and skinheads. Personally, I would have no issues standing next to them in demonstrations against, say, removing safeguarding laws for minors, or total excavation of an area that would definitely pollute a province's entire water supply. Of course care to make optics clear that you're not under them must be taken.

Spinster mods ignoring blatant racist comments (=/= view that goes counter to the black POV) is a whole separate thing, though. Never been on there.

Totally. I think that whenever someone tries to come and break up women and form division. As women, we must come together otherwise those that want to split us into factions enact the patriarchy intent on keeping women apart.

Is there evidence of Spinster mods blatant ignoring racism?
