Good point. The absence of downvotes is still something that hasn't fully hit me and I do want to help change this dynamic. I suspect that the fun rating will be replacing the down vote rating though for views people dont like.

Right I should of clarified that reddit was only good for neoliberals with progressives and people further left being pushed out of the mix. Hopefully that changes here

Yeah I think you're onto something with the capitalism failing young people thing. I believe that in the US anyways we do have a surplus of labor that is only being further exacerbated by automation among other factors. It's very to see this and say "see, it's all the fault of women joining the workforce" meanwhile the time where you could just get a simple factory job and live the "american dream" was long gone anyways. Maybe I misinterpreted what you said by capitalism failing young people, but this is a sentiment that I think is common and just breeds more resentment.

Lol sorry. I'm assuming she means I'm here to get validation from internet women because somehow I need it. I didn't reply because I had a rather busy Sunday and there's a lot of information here to absorb and comprehend, I don't want to just go off and reply uneducated shit. And I just saw that there was a new gc guys sub made on this site a little bit after I posted this thread so as of now I'll stop posting here and just engage there. Sorry for shifting the scope of the sub.

Just wanted to gain some perspectives since I figured people had thoughts on the subject. Maybe this was the wrong sub to post this in, that'll be apparent soon and in which case I apologize.

And im not sure if I'd call myself GC. I agree with the premise, I agree that the current TiM idiocy in society is ridiculous, and I like lurking here and seeing any new developments. But obviously it's not a battle I can fight, I can't really do much besides call out something stupid in the world of TRAs or reprimand a male friend of mine when he has a irrational belief about women (sadly common). Therefore I don't think I can identify myself as GC since at the end of the day I can't do much and am unaffected. Despite that though I'm still interested in GC and just agree with a lot that is said here, I enjoy reading all the posts. Even the ones that come off as misandry to me, well maybe not as much lol.

Great explanation and you pretty much covered all the bases that I have nothing to add to this. All I can say is that I'm scared for the future of society because having an entire generation of young, aimless, and purposeless men wandering around looking for a meaning anywhere they can find it is defiently a recipe for disaster society-wise.

Yeah I do now, what I posted is just outside the scope of the sub and not its purpose. I see that a new gc guys sub has reformed so ill go over there with issues like this in the future, I appreciate the explanation.

Yeah I'm not sure why I posted it here, I think it's because I knew it'd get the most engagement here which is very selfish of me since it isn't my space in the first place. I also overestimated the relevance of my topic here since it isn't a trans or women's issue, even though sometimes the issues of men become the issues of women.

And it wasn't very empathetic of me to call them "generally unpleasant" even though to the outside eye they very much are. A lot of these so called incels and other "deplorables" are very much hurting inside underneath all the layers of hate and bitterness. They're just looking for answers and for an explanation that will somehow rationalize all the pain and dejection they've been through. But again as you said this is off topic and not really the focus of the sub, I'll be limiting myself to gc guys from now on.

Yeah my bad, just noticed that today. I'll crosspost it and try to get things ramped up there, about time I stopped posting here anyways.

edit: i dont even think this site has a crosspost function so I guess I'll just copy and paste the question.

Yup you put it perfectly, they tied their mental well being directly with constant validation from others. It's funny how normally that behavior is discouraged from mental health professionals and rightfully seen as unhealthy but when it's TiMs doing it the whole world needs to bend over backwards for their emotional well being. Ridiculous and exhausting.

Dude you just ignored my totally made up pronoun that uses an alphabet that doesn't exist yet and now my spine is fractured in 3 places, thanks a lot.

Oh and about the "AS A MALE" thing I'm sorry that wasnt my intention. I tried to make it more of a disclaimer and put it at the bottom so people didn't think I was trying to give my words more weight.

I know a lot of people here would not engage with a male-created post even if they agreed with the content and out of respect for that I tried to include it in a subtle way for them.

Great reply and a trans sports league is actually a compromise I reached with my friend about this but we both know TiMs and TRAs would never accept such a solution. They want everyone but them to do the heavy lifting for them and figure out how to fit them neatly into every faucet and aspect of society. Women are expected to sit back and watch their spaces be taken over and their voices silenced and TiMs just get to sit back and watch.

I wish more people (especially TRAs) thought about this more and tried to think of pragmatic solutions to things like the obvious advantage in sports leagues but instead of using their brains they rather just shame all dissenters and bully women into accepting whatever shit they spontaneously deem "human rights" for the day.

Excellent reply and number 3 is a huge sentiment im gathering from the thread. There's a gross double standard at play since everyone else is told "don't base your well being on outside validation" but for TiMs that's literally all they have so everyone being complict in their fantasy is the only way for them to be okay.

Extremely unhealthy and unsustainable behavior that is being promoted by social media and "anti hate campaigns". It won't last imo.

Really interesting replies from everyone. I've defiently been more informed about the psychological whys of TiM behavior and it's a rabbit hole im currently going down lol.

The world won't cater to these people's fantasies for much longer, imo. Their entire idelogy and movement is based on everyone being complict in their demands and the silencing of women. This is not sustainable and sooner or later people will wake up to this, Im very confident in that.

According to rule 4b you guys are fine since you're not on s/all. That lets the mods do whatever they want and keep this place a "safe space". But yes all the popular subs are filled with conspiracies and racism but that's the price of free speech I guess.

Unfortunately with free speech this site is going to turn into a 4chan clone with a nicer interface. I've already seen s/politics and it's yikes to say the least. It's inevitable but you can ignore it and just stay in this sub where the mods won't let that type of shit in. Give the mods more time to set up shop, there's still a lot of fallout from the banwave and things need to settle down more. As a dude I'll stop posting on here today and just wait for another gc guys sub or something, idk. Hopefully stuff calms down.

Yeah it's just filled with baseless George Soros conspiracies and endless Trump circle-jerking, it's disgusting. Feels like I'm browsing /pol/ on 4chan. And there's no downvote button either so all of that drivel is just at the top and it gets more credibility. Unfortuantely it's a necessary evil but I hope other people make better moderated political subs.

Those rules are so ambiguous that they can be interpreted as anything. I've seen more than a few people say "Well Chinese people are the majority of the world's population so I guess racism is okay against them according to reddit?" Hilarious.

I love when companies try so hard to be "woke" that they collapse on themselves trying to figure out what's going to score them the most brownie points with the blue checkmarks on twitter. I knew it was only a matter of time before this happened when a reddit co-founder stepped down because he explicitly said he wanted a black candidate to take his place. This isn't even pandering anymore, it's just plain insulting and disingenuous. I want to know who the hell greenlit this rule and I'm 99% sure it was a disgruntled intern that wrote this and it somehow got under spez's radar, I refuse to believe a board member approved of this rule.

This is a good idea but I think you'd get more of a response if you emailed journalists from major publications as well as feminist ones. It's possible that someone will read one of these emails and try to create a story from it and the fallout from said story could affect reddit's funding and public perception negatively.

You are still fighting an uphill battle here because much of the mainstream internet sees the banning of GC and other similar subs as a "win" for women and conversely think they're the misogynistic subs and not the MRA ones. I would link all of the rape kink subs on the emails as well as MGTOW and other misogynist subs you could find. At the same time point out the banning of women spaces on reddit.

I apologize for the unsolicited advice but I think a news stories would do way better in the long run than having to laboriously email several dozen companies that may or may not advertise on reddit in the present.

They're trying to say "You're allowed to hate and harass groups if it gives our website clout because it lets us appear progressive while raking in that sweet ad money and pr". They don't actually give a fuck about protecting women, minorities, or any other marginalized groups they claim that these new guidelines will protect. They only want to ban the "hate" that is socially controversial and doesn't follow any mainstream narratives that are already widely popular. It's popular to shit on feminists (actual ones). It's popular to shit on white people. Reddit would never ban these types of hate because they have no actual values, they just follow trends and dollar signs. If redditors can't shit on white people and feminists then they'll leave the site and reddit will lose all that precious ad money. Reddit wants to be seen as a martyr for social issues so badly while at the same time remaining profitable and controversy-free, it's a recipe for disaster.

Yes exactly, lefty publications are already on the tra train and I doubt any of them are going to care about GC getting banned. A potential solution might be to just focus on the misogynistic and women-hating subreddits as well as the borderline illegal kink ones. Also mention the banning of the women only subreddits but only as an afterthought and maybe don't mention GC so they don't trash the whole email. It sucks that you have to do this at all but unfortunately these publications can't go against the popular narrative.

That Guardian journalist sounds promising though, defiently mention the GC ban to her, it might go through. Good luck!
