Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

I totally see where your coming from. I don't mean for this to be a divisive issue and I don't mean to go in circles either, but I just don't see the problem. There is no expected guarantee of free speech on a subreddit. Many subreddits restrict content, in fact the ones I consider the best do it to a larger extent than the "anything goes" subreddits. As long as the ban goes toward men and women I do not see an issue.

To the larger point I think you are making, it is a bit disturbing to see men labeled as perverts and creeps so quickly. Many times when a man says "nice butt" he is called shallow, perverted, or creepy. Women say the same thing and it's considered cute, quirky, or as an honor to the man. I do recognize this and it is an issue. However, I don't think the issue will be solved by promoting that sort of talk where it is not wanted. People are intending to show off their tattoos, not their bodies (for the most part I think). Arguing that you should be allowed to make sexual comments about them is doing absolutely nothing to kill the pervert stereotype. Respect for their rules and wishes is a step in the right direction and it shows maturity. Feel free to use that language in places where it is wanted and encouraged, but don't force it on people.
