/r/lgbt was infiltrated by authoritarian SRS cunts long ago.

Do not give that shithole the time of day.

/r/ainbow

Number357 · 2014-04-09T19:51:59+00:00

But... LGBT rights is one of the areas where misandry is pretty apparent. Gay men face far more prejudice and hatred than gay women. In some countries simply being a gay man is a serious crime while women are allowed to be gay. Sodomy laws were directed at gay men, not gay women.

MechPlasma · 2014-04-09T20:00:49+00:00

Yeah, r/LGBT is one of those "hijacked by SRS" subreddits. Which is to say, not actually hijacked by SRS, but full of the same kind of people who post in it. /r/ainbow is the actually open subreddit.

Welp, gay men can't be oppressed, ideologically sound.

Let the games begin.

Aaod · 2014-04-09T19:07:32+00:00

So you are telling me serotophobia something I had to freaking google search to find out what it is is more institutionalized than issues affecting half the population? I won't even bother arguing with the second paragraph it is a waste of time.

razzliox · 2014-04-09T20:28:24+00:00

Hey, no thanks to the people mod-mailing slurs, and spamming slurs. However after talking to actually nice people, in IRC Will be changing to just say sexism.

lazlounderhill · 2014-04-09T19:28:41+00:00

I hope you explained to them that MensRights also includes Gay MensRights.

PrincessGary · 2014-04-09T19:50:14+00:00

LGBT is known for being all the above things they claim they are not.

Most of the mods are worse.

urtygurt · 2014-04-09T19:53:03+00:00

At the very least, men have to sign their lives away to the military while women do not.

I would say that's pretty institutionalized. Women have nothing that's actual policy or institutionalized that they can claim. There is nothing that has an official record of being disadvantageous to them while being advantageous to men.

Lobstermansunion · 2014-04-09T19:54:58+00:00

While I'm incredibly supportive of LGBT rights, I know for a fact the majority of them would consider me a thought criminal for most of my views.

Interesting how that works.

russkov · 2014-04-09T19:35:15+00:00

Honestly I think that if r/LGBT mods would post the exchange on their sub, it would quickly lose the subscribers who disagree with bigotry and leave the sub a nice smelly Social justice warrior den.

BCSteve · 2014-04-09T20:38:17+00:00

Don't think that /r/lgbt (and their mods) is representative of the LGBT community community on reddit, a lot of LGBT redditors don't like the mods of that subreddit. There was a lot of drama due to how the mods were running it, and that's why we now have /r/ainbow instead, which tends to be much more open and accepting.

nuegices · 2014-04-09T20:49:15+00:00

It's my opinion that they're justified for their response of no, just not of the reason behind it. That specific subreddit is for acceptance and equality for those of varying sexualities despite their physical genitalia. If heterophobia was more prevalent it would be included in their mission statement I'm sure. But men's right's is right where it belongs.

Still, it was a shitty thing to say that misandry is fake. Second wave feminists and their matriarchy get on my nerves. >:(

SwedishFaggot · 2014-04-09T21:00:12+00:00

Although i think you're right that we should pay more attention to mens right, i feel that this is not the right subbreddit to do it in. /r/LGBT mostly consists of sexual minoritys even though they say in their description of the subreddit "This subreddit is by and for people who are Gender and Sexual Minorities (GSM), including but by no means limited to LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) people"

Gender has nothing to do with minorities in my opinion.

pevans05 · 2014-04-09T20:52:29+00:00

i've been meaning to unsub from r/lgbt for some time now, this seals the deal. if they can't include misandry in the sidebar, then they shouldn't include misogyny, or just write something like, "no hate speech."

TheThng · 2014-04-09T20:20:32+00:00

Yeah, robotanna and other SRSers are mods of that sub. Good luck getting them to even acknowledge misandry exists.

WhoIsHarlequin · 2014-04-09T18:11:51+00:00

"doesn't real" idiot. Also social justice is not the way to go for Men's Rights.

BlindPelican · 2014-04-09T19:32:48+00:00

Disappointing to see that. Gay men and transwomen suffer horrible discrimination by virtue of having a Y chromosome.

Noel_S_Jytemotiv · 2014-04-09T20:24:44+00:00

So basically if i'm F to M trans I can just go get fucked.

Crackerjacksurgeon · 2014-04-09T20:37:15+00:00

LGBT should really start spelling it LBT(g) to underscore how much they really give a fuck about men.

uberpower · 2014-04-09T20:43:52+00:00

Well there you have it, misandry isn't real. Men can now stop dying earlier, more often on the job, in combat, doing heavy household labor, and all those other things which aren't real.

Oh and you male divorcees can have all your kids and income back, plus, and this is the real bonus, the 80% of total spending that women do in the USA can now be reversed. Spend away, my fellows, and know that your group faces zero discrimination!

HalfysReddit · 2014-04-09T20:02:40+00:00

The problem is a different definition of discrimination. They view discrimination as only society discriminating against its own peoples, they do not consider any act against an individual to be discriminatory.

But macro-discrimination or micro-discrimination, it's still discrimination.

phantom_nosehair · 2014-04-09T20:22:30+00:00

LGBT is not for equality. It's about defending certain marginalized groups. If they would just stick to that, fine. If they are not interested in men's issues, fine, but they shouldn't pose as caring equally for everyone (or everyone to be equal)

david-me · 2014-04-09T20:24:52+00:00

You forgot to edit out one instance of the mods name in the screenshot.

latino666 · 2014-04-09T20:56:52+00:00

Seems to me his/her brain is the rotted one right here

pevans05 · 2014-04-09T20:54:23+00:00

it now says this: "Rule 1: No homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, racism, serophobia, or sexism of any kind." so..win?

razzliox · 2014-04-09T20:53:04+00:00

Let's be honest, you knew they would react this way, the only reason you messaged them was to spark controversy. This is the kind of petty shit mr could do without.

razzliox · 2014-04-09T20:19:46+00:00

Now, those who claim they are being oppressed, have turned around and are the oppressors of common man. See for eg., the Mozilla CEO case.

I for one, am apathetic to LGBT cause. It is something that is blown out of proportion like feminism.

Basic human rights law should take care of these complaints rather than gender politics and appeasement which is causing serious issues in the society.

kragshot · 2014-04-09T20:55:20+00:00

Well, then fuck 'em (the mods) right where the sun doesn't shine....

Who needs those lames (the mods) anyway...we have quite a number of gay members in our sub anyway and they support our efforts.

Edit; Okay...I just read that whole steaming pile of dogshit that is the history of how the moderatorship changed hands and who is running that sub now. I stand by my basic statement, but now I see how the cray-cray has made everything over there just a sun-baked cesspool of hate and loathing.

We need to avoid that place like the plague-ridden wasteland that it has become.

Bittervirus · 2014-04-09T20:44:41+00:00

This must be the "activism" part of MRA I've heard so much about

DoublespeakAbounds · 2014-04-09T19:49:15+00:00

IMO, the men's rights movement is incompatable with the gay rights movement. The gay rights movement depends on the minimized role of fathers in families so that lesbian parents are viewed just as viable as hetero parents. OTOH, one of the main tenets of men's rights is restoring father's access to their children due to the importance of fathers being in their children's lives. Thus, there's a natural conflict between the two movements.

Now you may downvote me to oblivion:)

shazbottled · 2014-04-09T20:21:06+00:00

Does anybody believe that LGBT is for equality? They are for gay rights, just like feminism is for women and mens rights is for men.

No surprise that LGBT has a heavy feminist slant
