SuperStraight might not be banned because it's full of heterosexual males.

The irony of the amount of posts in r/super_lesbian by bisexual women. Like "hey so glad this space exists, I wanted to use it to talk about my experiences dating men and sometimes girls too"

I just checked it out and it looks like the majority of people posting/commenting there are straight allies. Yawn. Not interested.

Did you check the comments? A couple of the posts that got upvoted are by straight men, but most of the comments are by lesbians with a few other people sprinkled in.

lol did you check the comments? If so, check again. Another thing I noticed is that a lot of these people on all the superwhatever subs seem young and kinda cringe. I don't think it's worth joining at this point but I'll check again later once everything has calmed down a bit.

Yeah even the commenters that appear to be lesbians aren't once you take a peek at their history. It's nice to see others on our side but I don't go to lesbian spaces to chitchat with straight/bi people. And the Super subs are like LGBdroptheT.2 because all they wanna talk about is trans people. A large chunk of them seem to be teens that just peaked.

This is the best way to learn about why bi women keep calling themselves lesbians and I'm still being surprised at the reasons they use.

I have, in fact :) I have been reading off and on there the last few days, it's been nice.

That's fair, and it is probably a bad idea to get too attached anyway since all these subs are likely to get banned.

Great to see. I'm loving it.

I'll be honest. I would be surprised if they ban these subs unless it becomes completely obvious they're sprouting hate towards the trans community. As long as they keep it "we like, what we like fuck off". All should good. But once they go on with "trans women aren't women, etc" then yeah, problems will arise.

Reddit is really thinking this one, same with how they were thinking with The_Donald. Maybe Quarantine but I'm not predicting any bans any time soon.

I wouldn't. They banned r/BiologicalLesbians and that sub were actually saying Transwomen ARE women. Our existence is transphobic.

I knew someone would say this...that sub was banned because of them breaking the rules of the site regardless if one believed the sub to be a replacement or not of r/Truelesbians.

[–]TalerTest 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I don't understand. You agree that the rule they claimed r/BL broke was a false accusation. What rule do you think it broke then?

[–]SailorMoon2020 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don't really what rule they broke. I'm just saying what Reddit said.

They spout hate towards gays and lesbians all day long and don't get banned. The hypocrisy on reddit 🙃

[–]SailorMoon2020 2 insightful - 4 fun2 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 4 fun -  (2 children)

Reddit only bans people or subs after being reported. Has anyone reported members and/or subs in mobs like those trans?

[–]ShotsFired 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Reddit only bans people or subs after being reported.

Where did you get this idea from? That's completely false. There are many ways for subreddits and users to get banned. Many are even banned automatically and wrongfully by bots.

Has anyone reported members and/or subs in mobs like those trans?

I used to report all the blatantly homophobic stuff I saw but didn't see anything come of it. Maybe it only works in a mob? I don't really care much anymore. I rarely go on Reddit these days.

Weeeeeelllll, r/superstraight was banned.

One of the private "super" communities that was lesbian was banned a few hours ago: https://archive.is/fu4M0

We'll see how much longer r/SuperStraight lasts. I'm not GC but just saying, it was the exact same thing with GC... r/GenderCriticalGuys lasted weeks after r/GenderCritical did. Anything sounds more threatening when women say it, I guess.

That sub was actually a trans take over sub. They started harassing members of Super Straight. That's why it went private because it was highjack by an user named superphonic something. There's even a post on the Super Straight sub about it.

Actually... it wasn't, it was an invite-only backup group for people the other superlesbians group, I was in it. It doesn't matter anymore because it's gone now though :/
