This is just a reflection of a single moderator on Reddit, not Reddit entirely. You could get the same thing here in the lemme verse
Sure, but here there are many communities about subjects instead of one.
YES. And yet people keep complaining about duplicate communities existing, like they want one mod team to be in charge of an entire topic of discussion.
Its not that at all. Its that there is currently no way to group similar communities together into a single feed. So users have to go to each community individually rather than being able to see multiple communities with the same or similar topic in a single place.
Yea that's a legit complaint. That's not all of them though, it's pretty common to hear an argument for community consolidation.
A moderator of a big community. And the quality of the comments, or lack thereof, is just as important.
I'm offended by op's use of the world "boy". Please ban them!
RIP in pieces ⚰
It's not like this didn't happen before.
"Female" is a slur or something? What?
When it's used like that it is.
You wouldn't describe a man as "a male", and you wouldn't refer to your mother as "a female".
I certainly would and do describe people by "male" or "female" daily, along with everyone in the military, and anyone else that isn't afraid of words.
"Female" as an adjective isn't the problem. The problem is "female" as a noun.
You can describe a person as being female all you like, but if you start calling them "a female" & defined purely in terms of the existence of their sex organs, you're in the wrong.
Absolutely, just the issue isn't with the word "female" or "male", it's with the objectification and sexualization. We don't have to vilify a word because it describes the subject of undue sexualization. "Person" or "human" could also be used, but I'd bet nobody would raise a stink about that.
If it were a slur or something, that'd be completely different, but this is just a term that people don't use on a normal basis, unless they're part of a smaller group (military, science, maybe ESL) that does use it more than the general populace. Just because you're not used to it, doesn't make it wrong. Vilify the person, not the normal language they use.
Try posting in r/AskWomen; it has always been like that.
... unwelcoming of misogyny? Surprising.
That's a misguided assumption. There's a mod in that sub who habitually deletes posts and comments for no good reason, which inspired the creation of r/AskWomenNoCensor.
All the top posts on r/askwomennocensor seem to be women complaining about how the sub is overrun with men asking for dating tips, with the mods stating in a thread 16 days ago:
We remove a thing, and suddenly we get called fascist, tyrant, "chronically online," etc., and members wildly upvote those public callouts.
Yall gotta decide if yall want "fascist tyrants" or to be plagued with inane incel questions. We remove a dating question? "Tyrants!" We let it go? "Why is this sub so trashy?"
As one redditor notes:
I know this sub was created because the other asksubs have so many rules. But this is unfortunately one of the reasons why so many rules exist.
Look, I'm not defending abusive users.
I'm referring to one extremely nit-picky r/AskWomen mod (u/nevertruly) who consistently manages to piss off women and men alike. Have you seen the screenshot at the top of this post? It's literally for stuff like that.
AskWomenOver30 is probably the best of these subs; the mods there behave like adults.
(Or at least it was; I've mostly avoided it since u/spez blew everything up.)
Yes, I've seen the screenshot. Eh. It's a gross post, and apparently OP acted like twat; I won't lose sleep over it not getting attention.
