The irony of the S+ sub ban

Supers: We feel like our voices are not being heard.

AHS and Superphobes: sHuT uP bigots!! Nobody is oppressing you!!1!

AHS and Superphobes: proceeds to oppress our peaceful community

So thanks, I guess, for proving our point. I hope this peaks a ton more people.

If your ideology has the power to shut down any thought it deems contrary, you are not an oppressed minority.

THIS. This is exactly what proves how un-oppressed they are.

Trans is arguably the most privileged minority on Reddit, partly because TRAs are over-represented in IT and often pursue mod/admin roles in order to shut down any discussion they don't like. They can pretty much say anything they like, no matter how awful, and nothing will be done about it.

This is what they did to a gay group I used to belong to. Once they had a critical mass of moderator positions, they imposed strict rules for what you could and couldn't say, rules we'd never needed before, and they ban anyone who doesn't toe the line.

That r/SuperStraight existed gives me such hope. There was wide support for the movement. In fact, we should be called SuperSexual or LGBS to highlight that fact. I'm sure it will arise again. Eyes were opened. I saw hundreds of comments from people shocked at how terrible TRAs are, who never knew it was a thing before, and all of them wanted to stand against it. Hopefully soon we find an appropriate home.

I was loving all the support from people who were also tired of being shamed for their sexuality. I also hope we can find another home.

Of course they aren't oppressed. Why do you think all their activism is focused on forcing other people to adopt their ideology? They aren't pursuing equal rights, they're making demands that people submit to them in both mind and body. It's a supremacy movement masquerading as a civil rights movement.

Yes they yelled at me for oppressing them then they banned ME. So much logic with these ones.

    I mean "peaks" as the GC/radical feminists use it.

    You reach the peak (like the top of a mountain) by seeing an extreme case of insanity by the TRAs. Now that you're at the top, you can see everything below you, and you can see how illogical it all is.

    I did then read down and see that comment. I'm not sure if that's a valid use of "peaks", although I do see your meaning. Like "peaking" with acid...

    What are GC/radical feminists? I don't get much exposure to the degenerate mainstream.
