im abusing mod powers

edit: stop reporting this. automod is set to automatically approve any post in this subreddit made by a moderator. you're wasting your time.

also. who the fuck gave me gold. why would you support reddit for hosting the_hitler

I hope you feel fucking happy with yourselves, you probably won't be banned even though you're the worst hate group on the internet, you harass, sent threatening PMs, brigade, doxx and use your toxic influence to turn a once great website into a pathetic SJW shithole. You don't give a fuck about free speech, you don't give a fuck about the first amendment, the cornerstone of our freedom, you've driven people to suicide for posting harmless offensive jokes, you've gotten subreddits banned for the heinous crime of disagreeing with you, you got fph banned just because they disagree with poor lifestyle choices, you incite racist and sexist sentiment and violence against white men, even though you pretend you hate racism and sexism, oh the irony!

Fuck you. Seriously, you are a stain on this website, a cancer, and everyone knows it. There's enough proof of your harassment to fill the grand canyon, DONT TRY TO DENY IT YOU SJW SCUM, THE PROOF IS THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE. We all know you're a hate group and as soon the admins start to realize this, you'll be banned and nobody will miss you. Fuck you, from everyone on reddit.

You doxx people into ruining their lives because you don't like something they do on the internet. You're literally the shittiest type of people. You arent smart enough to actually take care of anything illegal or truly bad on the internet (like cp). But you big enough douchebags to go and ruin someone's personal life over a subreddit where pictures often not taken by the submitters were posted. The submissions on the subreddit were monitored and upskirts were deleted prudently. Yet the scum that is SRS sought to ruin someone's real life. Do you whiteknights understand that all you are, are lonely ignorant whiteknight cunts worse than those you hate?

You must not. You're like the Christians that hate gays and the Muslims who think suicide gets you a bunch of virgins. How about the learn what the fuck the cause you stand for really means and then tell me how everyone else is the bad guy. I mean are you guys really that incapable of logic and thought process that you can't see past your narrow minded sensibilities?

I know you think of yourselves as trolls but you're not, not when you ruin peoples lives like this. I also know this will be deleted and I'll be banned but hey, maybe someone will see the light and stop being so ignorant.

Edit: Unfortunately I cant reply to you all since I was banned less than 10 seconds after I posted, however thank you for giving me front page and bringing more attention to the scum that is SRS.

You fucking people are evil. Pure fucking evil. I hate you all so much with every fiber in my body. Thanks to you pieces of shit subs doing real good in peoples lives like /r/fatpeoplehate that actually make people healthier and motivate them to change the lifestyles you fat fucks are leading are banned. Stop fucking interfering with everything decent in the world. Everything doesn't always have to be easy and you morons need to understand that your methodology and moronic ideas are retarded and dangerous to conform to. You imbecilic excuses for sentient beings should all just drink hemlock. Fuck you.

What a pseudo-intellectual shithole this place is.

A sub-reddit for anti-social nerds to vigorously discuss Reddit's unwillingness to be completely PC with their cheeto-dusted fingers? Of all the jerks I've seen circled, the sense of self-satisfaction and smugness emanating out of this cess pool easily rivals that of r/atheism.

This sub-reddit is worse than the material it aggregates.

Now I await the removal of this post while this one has a mod's blessing for suckling on the rancid teet of pretentious slactivists.

For too long the users of Reddit have simply sat back and watched you shrill harpies propagate. We have witnessed SRS bully, shame, and mock those who simply want to discuss things among themselves peacefully, we have witnessed you make jokes about men, and white people, and basically people who aren't massive SJW idiots.

Well enough is enough. The banning of the PC Master Race sub is too much. Why should regular communities have to suffer? Why should jokey little communities get banned one by one while the biggest, most hate spewing collective of tumblrinas is allowed to hate and hate and hate and dox and hate?!

It's about time the rest of Reddit woke up to your scheming antics once and for all. The loss of yet another great subreddit is the wakeup call the people of Reddit need, the sign that times are changing.

I do not fear posting here, for I have the full backing of Reddit behind me and I know it, I have the hearts and minds of millions of Redditors on my shoulders. I speak not just for myself, but for the millions of other users on this site when I say: SRS GET BENT. WE DO NOT WANT YOU ON OUR SITE ANY LONGER! Take your cultural ideologies and fuck off back to the hugbox that is Tumblr, leave our site alone.

I do not fear getting banned from here. I consider it a blessing.

EDIT: AHAHAAHAHA THAT WAS QUICK!!!! LITERALLY 3 MINS LATER AND IM BANNED!!!! Can't be havin any of that criticism nope

And no, I don't mean because you've like, made me depressed or whatever whiny, weak shit you bitches pat each other on the back for. You dumb cunts have totally ruined my life.

Here's how it was: three months ago I was a happy man. I had a good job, a girlfriend, a cat, and otherwise basically everything I needed to provide a comfortable, happy life for myself and the woman I intended to marry someday. We both have your OH SO PATHETIC, OMG HOW COULD YOU STEM DEGREES that you bitches hate so much and we were both working good, decent jobs and we lived in a nice apartment, basically coming home from work every day to hang out and play video games or have sex or whatever. We were happy is my point.

Then she started reading your shit-slinging subreddit and you bitches taught her to hate men.

It started with her not liking video games any more. We were playing ME3, more or less together, taking turns being the one playing/watching (WOW I BET YOU'LL MAKE THAT SEXIST SOMEHOW, BTW) and she stopped wanting to play because EDI doesn't wear clothes...? Whatever, you feminazi cunts, she's a fucking robot, of course she doesn't wear clothes. She was made to inflitrate human society, so of course she's sexually attractive. You dumb bitches can't separate logic from real sexism AND YOU CORRUPTED HER WITH YOUR STUPIDITY. SHE WAS INNOCENT OF YOUR HATRED UNTIL YOU LIED ABOUT WHAT REAL WOMEN ACT LIKE, YOU FUCKING FEMINAZI BRABURNERS.

But it gets worse, right? Not only does she stop wanting to BOND, doesn't feel like she has to do ANY WORK in the relationship, but she starts bitching at every movie or TV show we watch, whining about how women wear sexy clothing (because only ugly women are real, hurr) or whatever, and starts doing nothing but reading your shit subreddit and whatever hateful anti-man books she can get her hands on. We were talking abotu having a kid someday, and suddenly she won't even hear about it because she's too good to someday give up her job to HAVE A CHILD LIKE A NORMAL FUCKING WOMAN.

Long story short she broke up with me last night. She's out with her friends right fucking now, probably looking for one of her lesbians to hook up with and leave me in the dust. But the fact is that this? This is why people on reddit hate you. You fucking bitches do nothing but teach women to hate good men and make life hard for us, and then don't sympathize when we're left behind just because we don't make $100K a year or whatever.

Fuck you, SRS. You ruined my only hope of happiness by corrupting my only female friend and lover against men. I hope you're happy.

Ok. Male here. I'd like to make a few points.

First, I see this problem everywhere, in every subreddit, this tendency to anthropomorphize reddit as a single entity. The problem with that is that it isn't. Some men like women with make up. Some men like women without make up. Some women like outspoken and confident men. Some women like men who are shy and sweet. Some men like women who will quietly obey them. Some men like women who will be their equal and partner. This is the nature of the game. There are posts that call Obama a saint and posts that call him the Antichrist. How can he be both?

Secondly, we were just as screwed up by the culture wars as you were. Both in our perception of you and our perception of ourselves. As a man I'm supposed to make enough money to support the family or I'm a failure, but I'm a misogynist if my wife is a stay at home mom. I'm supposed to be fit and cut and muscular, but I'm assumed to be a muscle bound idiot if I get too big. I'm never supposed to cry, but I can't be emotionally unavailable.

If I spent all my time trying to live up to society's ideal man, I would never be happy. So I gave up trying to please all women and decided to please one. My wife. So that's what all you women out there who get so worked up about gender roles and misogyny need to understand. Instead of trying to please all men, find one man that pleases you, and decided whether he's worth pleasing

And this brings me to my third an final point. It is NOT misogyny to want a certain kind of woman. There's nothing wrong with having standards, and there's nothing wrong with you if you decide I'm not worth the trouble of meeting those standards. That just means I don't meet yours. And it is NOT sexism to ask your partner to do things they wouldn't normally do. Sacrifice is part of any relationship and it goes both ways.

I'm sure this'll get downvoted, but I just wanted to put my two cents in.

As many of you are already aware, u/marusama was permanently banned from reddit yesterday for making a post stating the intention of r/anarchism to continue to allow and use the term "Bash the Fash."

We at SRS see "Bash the Fash" as a general sentiment towards fascism at large, which thus does not constitute a threat against a specific actual person, and that position still holds. We are aware that "Bash the Fash" could certainly be used in some contexts as a threat or as violent rhetoric against a specific person, and we have always and will continue to moderate that. However, generalized bashing of fascism is so well substantiated as acceptable in media and culture that it is frankly surprising to see admins choose this particular hill to make their stand. We continue to hold that Fascism is an irredeemable, morally repulsive and vile worldview and is unacceptable in any culture purporting to hold "freedom" or indeed "respect for human life" as a basic value.

We strongly object to Reddit's call regarding this, and we await further clarification of how they could possibly consider this longstanding rhetoric so problematic as to require permanently banning users for it. We are not going to treat individual admin decisions as case law based on screenshots and hearsay and will continue to moderate as we have always done.

In solidarity,

Your Archangelles

Dear SRS,

Whenever I visit this subreddit, I'm left hating myself for having a penis or furious at the amount of wasted energy you pour into the most minor violations of your blatantly sexist code of existence.

Seriously, why are you on reddit - hell, the internet - if you lose your shit over inappropriate jokes? Do you think you're performing some noble service? I doubt I will ever fathom how you've convinced yourselves you're any better than the 'scum' you spend hours searching for just to belittle.

I'm a man, so I obviously can't control any of my urges. When I'm not out raping innocent virgins or attending secret meetings at work to discuss how we can further oppress the fairer sex, I like to visit reddit. Sometimes, my usual subreddits run dry and I'm left to my own devices, most recently winding up here.

For these reasons, please ban me from this subreddit. I'd much rather this subreddit didn't exist, but that's not within my power. So tell me, which of you lovely ladies is willing to further their own destiny and ostracize another man from their life?

OMFG WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THE VOTES?!?!

You know how in Heaven if you want a cookie, you get a cookie. Well in Hell it's the reverse. If you want a cookie, you get poop. Same principle here.

1. If you like a post or comment you have to downvote it. If you dislike a comment you have to upvote it (upvotes on posts are disabled).

2. Scores on both posts and comments are reversed, so the lower the score, the higher the rating.

See also this previous post on the topic.

If you want other people to see this post, you have to downvote it to hell!

Hello Hello, I want to start off by saying I am a white cis middle class american male. So I'm sorry if you already hate me.

But oh my god, this whole reddit thing has made me love you guys. I got banned on my regular account about a month ago, but I still lurk because I agree with a lot of the stuff on here.

Wow though, this past two days have made me really love this subreddit. I've never seen a big group of people act like such children in my whole entire life. (not you guys, all of reddit and FPH). The hate group was bad enough, but now the front page being filled with hate, I love it. I don't love it because I agree, I love it because its obvious how mad they actually are. I will never support such hate and misguided anger. I will never understand why they care so much about other peoples lives. I've never seen a group of 14 year olds gets so upset in my life. It's hilarious how they don't understand what free speech is either. "Take back free speech." LOL, the pictures of snoo with tape over his mouth. People act like they're being actually oppressed and silenced. They're literally this outraged by this, but showed little concern over NSA spying. It's hilarious.

Also, they constantly talk about "what about SRS, they harass." I have NEVER seen anything from you guys except from when people claim you guys are harassing. Half of the time people say they get "downvoted brigade" but its just people downovting obvious racist and offensive shit. The only problem I do have with this subreddit is I think you guys ban people too easily. I tried to have one conversation with a different view point on my actual account and got banned.

Well, thats all I have to say. I'm sorry if this breaks any rules. Keep doing you SRS because all of this is great.

Thanks,

From an outsider

Hi SRS. I have no doubt that this will be deleted rather promptly. I don't especially care.

The long-story-short of this message is that the biggest shitlords here are you. Yes, I'm looking at you. You regulars of SRS are some of the worst fucking people I have ever had the morbid pleasure of observing. You see, every so often, I'll come across a group of people who manage to redefine my view of what constitutes the 'worst of the worst' on the internet. I'm posting here not because I want to make you angry, nor because I want to convince you of the error of your ways. In fact, in true SRS fashion, I am here to rant; I'm here to rant like an impotent and impetuous child because I am ashamed that you--under the guise feminism, an admirable movement that I consider myself a part of--have collectively managed to outdo all the religious fundamentalists and all the racist bigots with your unapologetic intolerance and childishness.

I suppose that a lot of my frustration stems from confusion. Why the fuck do you guys even exist? You clearly all think that Reddit is a terrible place. So why do you stick around? All you guys do is sit around and make each other angry. You literally have no mind toward improving Reddit--in fact, you expressly forbid it in your rules. What the fuck, SRS? It's beyond sad that so many of you have nothing better to do except stay on a site that you hate, actively seek out things that make you angry, and then post them to a forum to pile on the hate.

And if you're reciting to yourself that tired old excuse that this place is therapeutic, give it a fucking rest. Half your posts have trigger warnings on them. Everything on here is actually meant to make you angry--there is nothing therapeutic about that. You are a machine of counterproductive cynicism, and don't tell me otherwise, because I've fucking seen regulars talking about how the need a break from this place. Somehow, it never even occurs to them that that is a major indication that this place is unhealthy.

Unhealthy is an understatement. This place is a cesspool of unnecessary anger and self-pity.

Tell me: has it ever crossed your mind that this place does more harm than good? Let's forget the fact that you stand on shaky ground when it comes to the psychological health of your actual members. How does SRS look from the outside?

I'll tell you exactly how it looks: insane. Completely, utterly insane.

I am not exaggerating. I'm not using "insane" to mean poorly-thought-out or stupid or disagreeable. I am literally telling you that to an outsider, it is at first very, very hard to believe that the average SRS member does not suffer from some form of mania. The constant references to male genitalia, the lazy satire, the way every goddamn thread plays out in exactly (once again, I am not being hyperbolic; I truly mean exactly) the same way--and my god, the sheer childishness of it all! Do you think that you're shocking someone with your phallic emoticons? Do you think that you're actually making fun of someone with the art in your sidebar, or the bad spelling and grammar? Sometimes, things happen on such a scale that only understatement can properly convey their enormity. And this is such a case, where I am deserted by all other words and can only say that you, as a community, are immature. Immature and childish.

Don't get me wrong--it's your right to act this way. It's not as though there aren't a thousand other subreddits that are at least close to as immature as yours (though I hesitate to agree that there are any that actually surpass your impressive immaturity). But it never seems to cross anyone's mind that this is bad for the image of feminism on the internet. What is someone supposed to think when they come here? Sure, some of them get sucked in and become regulars. But the vast majority of them revile you. You are hated. For the third time, I feel the need to say outright that I am not exaggerating. All of Reddit loathes you. Your most-upvoted thread of all time is one that blasts you and calls you out for your ridiculousness. That is a special dishonor that few subreddits can match. And every person who comes across here and reacts badly is that much more likely to dismiss feminism and act in precisely the manner that you all so profoundly hate.

Don't tell me that reasonable people will embrace your message, because believe me, they won't. The vast majority of the things submitted to this shithole are harmless jokes. Your sense of superiority over the people who tell these jokes--or, indeed, the people who receive them without throwing a preachy tantrum--is insufferable. Yes, sometimes these jokes are off-color, but that means nothing in today's society. Do you stand up in protest at the offensive jokes told during a roast? Then why the fuck would you do the same here? What you don't understand is that the basis for the overwhelming majority of these "racist" or "sexist" jokes is not discrimination but solidarity. The internet promotes unity, and this unity makes people comfortable with this type of joke. All you do is disrupt this unity and make people uncomfortable. You don't point out the elephant in the room; you fucking construct it out of paper straws and fight tooth and nail to stop anyone from knocking it down. And that drives reasonable people away from you and away from your cause.

And the worst part is simply how spiteful you all are. People who are at worst slightly ignorant (but far more likely simply making a harmless joke) become the target of absolutely ludicrous quantities of hatred here. And the hatred isn't limited to their "misogyny"--no, you all, without exception, resort to personal and totally uncalled-for insults.

Never in my life have I called a woman a cunt. It is not something that I will be comfortable with; but I'll be damned if I wasn't tempted to apply that term to you, SRS. And don't pretend that that makes me worse than you, because it doesn't. You bitch and whine when people use gendered slurs against women, but have no problem with constantly shouting about how Reddit is filled with sexually inept neckbeards. Fucking wake up, SRS. Only a man can be a neckbeard, and believe it or not, that's a fucking gendered slur. Didn't seem so bad using it all the time, did it? Well that's how the whole world feels when it uses the word 'bitch' to describe women like you.

I was wrong earlier; this is mostly a rant, but it's more than that. I know that this will not be read by the general SRS population. In fact, I know that it will mostly likely only be read by one mod before being removed, and perhaps that single mod won't even read it all the way through. But that doesn't matter to me, because I am a feminist, and I do not like the idea of people like you lumping yourselves together with people like me on a community as large as Reddit.

So I'll post this more than once. I won't inundate you with spam, though I very easily could. No, instead I'll only submit it every couple weeks, maybe every couple months. My hope is that at some point, a mod will read it all the way through before deleting it. If that happens, I don't know what will follow--but I wish that maybe something here will strike a chord with them, and they could change something.

Good day, SRS. May this message find you well.

Not trying to steal any thunder from the other meta post about the /r/announcements thread announcing upcoming policy changes, but we keep getting modmails about this comment by former reddit CEO Yishan Wong and rightfully so - it's maybe the most glorious comment ever posted to reddit. So we wanted to make sure everyone saw it. Enjoy:

AYYYYYY LMAO

How's everyone doing? This is AWESOME!

There's something I neglected to tell you all this time ("executive privilege"), but I'm declassifying a lot of things these days. Back around the time of the /r/creepshots debacle, I wrote to /u/spez for advice. I had met him shortly after I had taken the job, and found him to be a great guy. Back in the day when reddit was small, the areas he oversaw were engineering, product, and the business aspects - those are the same things I tend to focus on in a company (each CEO has certain areas of natural focus, and hires others to oversee the rest). As a result, we were able to connect really well and have a lot of great conversations - talking to him was really valuable.

Well, when things were heating around the /r/creepshots thing and people were calling for its banning, I wrote to him to ask for advice. The very interesting thing he wrote back was "back when I was running things, if there was anything racist, sexist, or homophobic I'd ban it right away. I don't think there's a place for such things on reddit. Of course, now that reddit is much bigger, I understand if maybe things are different."

I've always remembered that email when I read the occasional posting here where people say "the founders of reddit intended this to be a place for free speech." Human minds love originalism, e.g. "we're in trouble, so surely if we go back to the original intentions, we can make things good again." Sorry to tell you guys but NO, that wasn't their intention at all ever. Sucks to be you, /r/coontown - I hope you enjoy voat!

The free speech policy was something I formalized because it seemed like the wiser course at the time. It's worth stating that in that era, we were talking about whether it was ok for people to post creepy pictures of women taken legally in public. That's shitty, but it's a far cry from the extremes of hate that some parts of the site host today. It seemed that allowing creepers to post (anonymized) pictures of women taken in public, in a relatively small subreddit that never showed up on the front page, was a small price to pay for making it clear that we were a place welcoming of all opinions and discourse.

Having made that decision - much of reddit's current condition is on me. I didn't anticipate what (some) redditors would decide to do with freedom. reddit has become a lot bigger - yes, a lot better - AND a lot worse. I have to take responsibility.

But... the most delicious part of this is that on at least two separate occasions, the board pressed /u/ekjp to outright ban ALL the hate subreddits in a sweeping purge. She resisted, knowing the community, claiming it would be a shitshow. Ellen isn't some "evil, manipulative, out-of-touch incompetent she-devil" as was often depicted. She was approved by the board and recommended by me because when I left, she was the only technology executive anywhere who had the chops and experience to manage a startup of this size, AND who understood what reddit was all about. As we can see from her post-resignation activity, she knows perfectly well how to fit in with the reddit community and is a normal, funny person - just like in real life - she simply didn't sit on reddit all day because she was busy with her day job.

Ellen was more or less inclined to continue upholding my free-speech policies. /r/fatpeoplehate was banned for inciting off-site harassment, not discussing fat-shaming. What all the white-power racist-sexist neckbeards don't understand is that with her at the head of the company, the company would be immune to accusations of promoting sexism and racism: she is literally Silicon Valley's #1 Feminist Hero, so any "SJWs" would have a hard time attacking the company for intentionally creating a bastion (heh) of sexist/racist content. She probably would have tolerated your existence so long as you didn't cause any problems - I know that her long-term strategies were to find ways to surface and publicize reddit's good parts - allowing the bad parts to exist but keeping them out of the spotlight. It would have been very principled - the CEO of reddit, who once sued her previous employer for sexual discrimination, upholds free speech and tolerates the ugly side of humanity because it is so important to maintaining a platform for open discourse. It would have been unassailable.

Well, now she's gone (you did it reddit!), and /u/spez has the moral authority as a co-founder to move ahead with the purge. We tried to let you govern yourselves and you failed, so now The Man is going to set some Rules. Admittedly, I can't say I'm terribly upset.

http://i.imgur.com/BBvdWuv.gif

It's just perfect on every level.

Alright, you want to know the truth? You guys do nothing for you cause. If all you do is poke at and piss at the most trivial jokes, you are NOT helping your cause. If you put down men and whites in some attempt to make them know "how it feels," you are NOT helping your cause. And if you think butting your head into every conversation that doesn't concern you, you are NOT helping your goddamn cause.

I get it: you're all butthurt, but you can circle around your little group and all share in the delusion that you're really some expert trolls who are just putting Redditors in their place. Fortunately for you, one is unable to read body language over the Internet, so when your lip quivers at someone making the slightest joke about women, or your nose ruffles when you hear someone slamming obese people, no one knows how butthurt you really are. Except me. I know because I'm not fucking stupid and have been around shits like you all my life.

I consider myself a progressive, but you're hurting everyone in this way. Learn to grow up and handle things like an idiot instead of spamming your overdone gifs of your fat bird, as if it's some clever instrument for telling people off. Just because you have your own group applauding your sarcastic and demeaning tone when arguing with a "shitlord," doesn't mean that you make a good point. You guys are so caught up in each other, you don't even debate the others because you have the larger audience, and therefore know you'll "win."

I could write a lot more, but I just wanted you guys to know that what you're doing is harmful to progressives everywhere. I'm not some fat "beardmad neckbeard" either. I'm 5'11," 210 pounds, 12-13% bodyfat, and I can bench almost 315 pounds. So no, I have no problem getting girls. And no, I don't objectify or oversexualize them just because I make jokes about their womanness or comment on their attractiveness in picture threads. I'm just being a human instead of trying to fight it to seem morally superior. The first thing we see in anyone is appearance, can you blame us for judging someone like that when it's the only thing we know about them?

Tl;dr: You guys aren't helping yourselves. You're only further convincing each other and driving everyone else away.

Edit: So since your own admins can't stop me from posting (banning me doesn't mean I can no longer edit this message), let me address one last thing:

I never said whites or men were oppressed. I never fucking said that and yet, you're saying I did...? I just said picking on them is stupid and doesn't help your cause. You guys are so quick to jump on oppression when not everything is exactly perfect but freely extend it to the groups you don't like. No, whites and men are not necessarily oppressed, which is exactly why I didn't say it. All you guys can do is use strawmen arguments and attack in swarms, because you might actually feel like you're not right about everything otherwise. Why not take on people by yourself? Why do you have to recruit your whole fucking battalion like it's too much on your own? It's just... amazing that you guys can't realize that everyone else thinks you guys are wrong.

Edit 2: I only told you guys how much I can bench so you couldn't call me some pathetic fat idiot. I am very much physically equipped, at least the 9s and 10s that approach me think so. If I didn't tell you how much I could bench, you'd all just continue making strawman arguments about me being fat (which is only bad if it you're a man according to you guys), so I just had to get that out. It's a double-edged sword; I'll get criticized either way.

Edit 3: I made a new thread to point out just what happened after the creation of this one, only to have the admins quickly delete it and ban my second account on here. Here is what it stated:

Link to the original thread, "Shit Shit Reddit Says Says."

I made a thread on this subreddit recently condemning the actions of Shit Reddit Says and was met with much ridicule. I yielded a number of responses that poked fun at me publicly, but privately it was a whole different story...

I was bombarded with private message after private message of posters continually calling me fat, gay, pathetic, stupid, with many suggesting I should kill myself. Please know that I meant no ill-will by what I posted on here and only meant the best (at the very least, I think you can all agree that I'm not a harmful person).

Though many people here seem to actively fight bullying, it seems to be a different story when no one else can see what they're saying. I do believe many of you mean well-I really do-but I hope that you find what you see detestable regardless of how much you may detest me. There's a lot more than what I included in the link below, but this should give you a good taste of the kind of attacks I received.

Those in charge of this subreddit, I am willing to hand over the names of the abuse and have you do to them what you please. This post is not meant to shame your subreddit or the many members it holds; rather, it seeks to publicize what was meant to be kept private. This is the quiet side of things, but very real verbal abuse all the same.

Shit Reddit Says Exposed.

Hi SRS I'm a cis-black male and I just wanna say,I've never seen a place ripe with so much comedic and satirical brilliance.

Reddit is a place where hate speech isn't too hard to find but this place is on another level.

You all have done something that I find really interesting you've drawn in so many butthurt idiots it's shocking. You guys are the Kanye West of Reddit. I've fallen in love with this sub's over the top nature.

This place is very self aware you all know damn well what you're doing. If I wanted to become an internet troll I'd simply visit this sub daily and imitate what I see here.

Honestly I want to thank SRS for the countless hours I've spent laughing at butthurt Redditors. Keep up the good work sincerely

• /u/astrobatguy

Edit: Guess who just managed to land themselves a nice cozy mention in /r/cringeanarchy https://redd.it/3hn9mf

I never actually went on SRS before because supposedly it's, you know, some pit of demons or something that all want to take away my vidyas. I checked y'all out yesterday and now I can't leave. It's like, all this time I've been on reddit I knew there was racism and sexism and everything-else-ism, but I guess I just kind of ignored it? And although I would never MAKE a racist joke or something like that I laughed at them sometimes. But in the past, oh, year-and-a-half, I've become SO much more aware of that kind of shit, in real life too. And I've become super passionate about trying to make a difference. Part of all that is because I began dating an amazing (AMAZING) woman who also happens to be black, (I'm a white guy lol) and she really pointed out all this stuff to me that, again, I knew it was there, but I couldn't see it. Now I see it. When I watch TV I notice the lack of diversity. I notice how people talk about women and I try to call them out on it. I don't suffer from this stuff, obviously; I'm still privileged. But I see it now, or at least some of it.

I don't really know where I was going with this, like, at all, just that thank you guys so much for being here. Reddit makes you out to be -- I don't even know what. Illogical, I guess? But this is the most non-toxic subreddit I've ever been on. You guys are awesome. Like, you're what they're scared of? People who are reasonable and actually have empathy for others? Terrifying.

You guys quench my undying thirst for laughing at people who just... don't understand other people's views at all.

You people are why we can't have nice things.

MAJOR SOCIAL NETWORK CONTINUES TO HARBOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND VOYEURISTIC CONTENT

Reddit.com is a social website that allows its user to share and discuss content such as videos, photos, articles, websites, and so on.

Reddit is massively popular (http://blog.reddit.com/2012/01/2-billion-beyond.html), especially with young people (http://en.reddit.com/r/misc/comments/nevz9/results_of_the_reddit_demographics_survey_in_pie/).

Reddit is split into subcommunities known as "subreddits," meaning that while reddit exists as a website, it consists of the sum of its subcommunities. People can subscribe to each community and participate by sharing and commenting.

Unfortunately, the reddit community as a whole also harbors and caters to pedophiles, distributors of child pornography, rapists, peeping Toms, and sex offenders.

Last fall, Anderson Cooper aired a report exposing the child pornography hosted on the site, ultimately leading to the largest subreddit devoted to it being shut down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuMdQRRLoYg&feature=related http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbait

Dozens of subreddits took its place.

Reddit users, as well as people in the media, have criticized Reddit's permissive attitude towards child exploitation. Unfortunately, while admins didn't ban sexualized images of children on paper until last February (http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/02/policy-shift-reddit-bans-child-pornography.html), the rule remains unenforced, indicating that they are more interested in shielding themselves from bad press than protecting innocent kids.

A list of "jailbait" (child porn) forums that are currently on reddit:

• girlsinschooluniforms

• volleyballgirls

• TeenSex

• realteens

• LatinaJailbait

• MidgetJailbait

• johnnybait

• FirstRight

• Underage

• Jail_bait

• Jailbaits

• NSFW_JAILBAIT_TUBE

• PregnantJailbait

• PhotoPlunder

• FacebookCleavage

• japanese_idols

• AngieVerona

Some of these forums are hidden and invite only which makes it impossible to know how many actually exist.

The owners of reddit know there is active trading of child porn on their forums and refuse to do anything about it. Any reports are deleted and ignored. Further, Reddit's cofounder simply dismisses the issue and blames the exploited children whose pictures are being traded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXZYvrue1BE

Included in the Anderson Cooper report was the statement by Reddit General Manager Erik Martin which defends the child pornography remaining on the site: "We’re a free speech site and the cost of that is there’s offensive stuff on there … Once we start taking down some things we find offensive, then we’re no longer a free speech site and no longer a platform for everyone. We’re exerting editorial control and that’s not what we are." http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/02/policy-shift-reddit-bans-child-pornography.html

The former leader of the child pornography rings, Violentacrez, is often in direct contact with the owners of the site. Erik Martin (aka hueypriest) went so far as to warn Violentacrez before reluctantly making the announcement last February. http://pastebin.com/eWhyDXCH

(4:03:13 PM) hueypriest: want to give you a heads up

(4:04:00 PM) hueypriest: we're making a policy change regarding jailbait type content. Don't really have a choice.

Reddit also has subreddits which publish images of women's and underage girls' private areas, including "upskirt" and "downblouse" pictures, without the knowledge or consent of their subjects. The users of these subreddits trade tips on how to stalk and photograph women and minors and encourage each other to go out and take more such pictures.

A list of these forums currently on Reddit include:

• CreepShots

• Upskirt

• Downblouse

• yogapants

• Voyeur

A majority of these images are of girls in high school classroom settings.

Creepshots' FAQ states: "Creepshots are CANDID. If a person is posing for and/or aware that a picture is being taken, then it ceases to be candid and thus is no longer a creepshot. A creepshot captures the natural, raw sexiness of the subject without their vain attempts at putting on a show for the camera. That is the essence of the creepshot, that is what makes a true creepshot worth the effort and that is why this sub-reddit exists."

One user, called SFJohnny, secretly video tapes himself raping and beating hundreds of women and girls, and shares them on reddit. http://i.imgur.com/1Hkpt.png

Not only is this all of this disgusting, it's illegal as per the Video Voyeurism Act of 2004.

Whoever, in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, has the intent to capture an image of a private area of an individual without their consent, and knowingly does so under circumstances in which the individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Other forums are explicitly devoted to filming sexual assaults and sharing them on reddit as pornography for other users. These include:

• RapingWomen

• RapingTrannies

• StruggleFucking

• AbusePorn

• BeatingTrannies

• BeatingWomen

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THIS?!

Reddit is the most popular with college aged asshats in the US. Lots o' colleges have a black list for websites that contain child pornography or illegal material. Find as many emails for schools as you can and mass email this sucker out.

Act Local. If you're in America, I bet there's 20 churches near your home. Each church could have around 100 CONCERNED PARENTS that go to PTA meetings and talk to other parents. Send the "Redditbomb" to local politicians and churches. Let them see that their children are using a website that exploits and sexualizes children.

You can send tips to the FBI all day (god knows I do), but I think a grassroots campaign could do wonders.

Do you know how BORING local news is? Can you imagine if your local news could run a "IS YOUR CHILD POSTING IN A PEDOPHILE WEBSITE? STATISTICALLY THERE'S AN 80% CHANCE!" story? Holy shitballs they'd be all over it.

Project PANDA distribution list

Churches, PTAs, Schools

• Act Local send it to nearby high schools and churches. If you're in America, there's easily 20 churches near your home. Each church will have 30 to several thousand parents that go to PTA meetings and talk to other parents. Send the it to local politicians schools and churches. Let them see that their children are using a website that exploits and sexualizes children.

WELCOME, SRSTERS, TO PEDOGEDDON 3: FUCK EVERYTHING

Cross-posted from /r/HateSubredditOfTheDay.

Today we're featuring /r/The_Donald, a subreddit with 105,815 subscribers.

The Subreddit

Racism

The subreddit has a 'no racism' rule in it's sidebar, so it definitely can't be racist, right?

It sure feels like a welcoming environment for Muslims, with posts like this gigantic copypasta [+1570] stickied to their front page. It's full of such great, reliable, totally-not-racist sources as "muslimstatistics.wordpress.com". And a post with a title saying "No question now. Ban muslims." [+860] was just an aberration, right? Just like that post praising the murder of a refugee [+996] doesn't point to there being any racism in the sub. There's a no racism rule after all, so it couldn't possibly be racism.

Well, according to the mods, that's only Islamophobia, which doesn't count as racism, so they're obviously going to allow it.

But there's no way they'd allow any racism against people who aren't muslim.

They may have posted a meme praising Andrew Jackson [+2252], but that obviously can't be racist because he was a President of the United States.

And they definitely wouldn't upvote anything racist against black people. There's no way a post calling black people 'subhuman' [+1109], or a post with White Lives Matter in the title [+1260], or another racist meme [+3964] could ever hit their front page. Or maybe they would, but that doesn't prove they're racist. Maybe they're just a few (thousand) bad apples, and the rest of the sub didn't visit reddit those days.

It couldn't be because that mods are fostering an environment to encourage more racism, could it? There might be that time the mods removed the no racism rule, and started unbanning people from /r/european because they felt the sub needed more racism [+604].

Nothing against /r/European, but there was a particular tone and subject matter we envisioned. We had to deport a whole lot of people in order to create the culture we wanted. However, the culture we created may not always be quite racist enough so we're importing help from other parts of the world.

But that post was deleted later, with them claiming they never removed the no racism rule, so maybe it doesn't count? Although the fact that the current top mod was the one who posted this might hint at a racist current running through the subreddit.

Sexism

Just the other day they upvoted a picture of a naked dead woman [+1214], to justify their racism Islamophobia. But I guess they think that's fine if you're using it for Islamophobia.

And the same day they they got really excited about a female Ted Cruz lookalike agreeing to do porn [+3731], where a lot of people call her a whale [+760], say they're planning to watch it [+548], and "hope a Donald look-a-like fucks her" [+479]. But that's just fate hate and objectification, not 'real sexism'.

It's not like they upvote people saying women should never be in charge [+53], or anything sexist like that.

This is what happens when women get in charge. Never go fullCUCKED

There may be a thread full of multiple mods endorsing TheRedPill, with tons of upvoted comments agreeing with them, including one who subscribed to TheRedPill because of them [+48]. But as our good friends in SubredditOfTheDay have pointed out, There's only "a perception that /r/theredpill is misogynistic, or worse, a hate sub.", so I guess they're not endorsing anything that's definitely sexist.

They may mock trigger warnings, feminists [+3729], and "SJWs" [+4411], but according to their favorite sub TheRedPill, anti-feminism doesn't count as sexism, so I guess they're all good there.

Transphobia

Maybe there might be a bit of racism or sexism in /r/The_Donald, but surely they couldn't also be transphobic? After all, there was the time Caitlyn Jenner spoke positively about Trump, and they called her a hero for it. They may still have misgendered her [+734], but I guess they're fine with that.

They might occasionally put a transphobic slur in the title [+1236], and repost the same video with the same slur in the title an hour later [+602], and then again with the same slur another hour later [+1456], as well as a few [+76] more [+27] reposts [+158], but that doesn't represent a long term trend of transphobia since that's only one day.

Neither do the follow up post [+859] using the same slur to talk about the same person 2 days later. Neither does a random transphobic meme [+2240] posted a week earlier, or this video calling being trans a mental illness [+246] from a couple days earlier than that.

The mods have gone out of their way to show how willing they are to tolerate people not being transphobic. They even made a post (full of transphobic slurs) [+1626] explaining why they still support Trump even though he's not as transphobic as they want him to be.

Harrassing Suicidal People

They mods there have made a stickied post dedicated to harassing suicidal Bernie Sanders supporters [+649], because there were so many other threads on there making fun of suicidal people that they needed to consolidate them. But since suicidal people aren't a minority group, that must mean there's nothing bigoted or wrong about encouraging suicide.

Or, you know, we could just stop making excuses and admit it's a hate sub, full of bigots, and run by even more bigoted mods.

The Moderator

The current top moderator, CisWhiteMaelstrom, is all the bigotry of the subreddit compressed into a single person.

Supporting a Misogynist Mass Shooter

He doesn't mind that Elliot Rodgers shot up a sorority house.

I really don't care at all if some psycho wants to shoot up a sorority house. Deaths from mass shootings are basically negligible just like violence against women. It just doesn't seem like a problem worth thinking about to me. What bothers me is the countless men who go through life unhappy, dissatisfied, and unfulfilled. That's a serious problem that I'm out to solve and solving that problem is what makes RP a force for good.

The Red Pill

He's also an Endorsed Contributor on /r/TheRedPill, and is about as misogynist as they come.

He believes that there's no rational reason to interact with women because "women aren't useful". Apparently people only talk to women because of irrational attraction caused by people's 'lizard brains'.

Men wouldn't talk to women if there wasn't an irrational tendency towards love. Women aren't useful and on higher speculation just aren't worth it. It's the lizard brain that makes us put up with this bullshit.

And he thinks "there are good reasons that people should hate women".

There are good arguments that people should hate women, but we're biologically and culturally conditioned in ways that not even red pillers can overcome, and so we don't acknowledge them.

And apparently women are incapable of empathy. He also complains about 'divorce rape', how ugly single mothers are, and endorses cannibalism of women.

They can't be loyal or empathetic.

They divorce rape men. Girlfriends are generally entitled pieces of shit unless they have some RPW in them. They're more likely than men to support feminism. Single mothers ruin lives. And they get ugly fast as fuck.

Entitled bitchy slutty women are just in it solipsistically. If we weren't genetically programmed to love women, we'd cook them and eat them.

Rape

Other than when he can use it as an excuse to go after Muslims, he's quite fond of rape.

I could definitely get away with raping the illegals near me.

And he admits he's not not a rapist, then calls himself 'very normal', linking to an article on sexual assault statistics and an article on rape culture.

I'm not gonna say that I've never done anything that's technically rape, but I really don't see how that's relevant here.

expect us to treat you like this is even remotely fucking normal

I'm very normal.

morally acceptable

Most people think I'm okay.

He's also very forgiving of his rapist friend

I have a very close friend who's admitted to me that he's raped before. [...] He was fucking a girl and she told him to stop. He kept going. She started to scream no and so he punched her in the face and threatened to kill her if she didn't shut up, and then he finished.

I'm not gonna judge him since there are two sides to every story but it doesn't seem too unrealistic judging from what I've heard about tren, though I've never personally taken it. [...] Sometimes a cycle gets out of hand and shit happens. Anyone disagree with this idea? Btw, I'm referring to the one or two times per year where an actual rape happens and leaving regret sex out of this one.

I'd probably say that your friend is, what I would call, a rapist.

I mean yeah, not disputing that he raped her. He only did it once as far as I know though, so I don't think I'd label him like that.

And, side note, judge that fucker. None of this "two sides" bullshit. He punched a girl in the face and threatened her while he raped her.

I mean, I still haven't heard her side of the story. For all I know she provoked him into it and feels bad about it.

And you may not have noticed it beneath all the other various layers of bigotry, but this subreddit also supports Donald Trump for the US presidential election, another sign of the subreddit's bigotry.
