Shit Reddit Says

Don't worry about it.

SRS is where people who can't hack it at 4chan go to.

That place is really weird. When I first discovered srs I thought it was some kind of a subreddit that talks about the wrong things posted in reddit.

Why does that place even exist? If those people hate reddit then they should get off here and create their own community. There are a lot of ways to create a free forum.

Anyway, those redditors don't even discuss with you, they are only insulting and crying. When you ask them whats wrong about that post they only insult you more. I saw some people making good arguments but that whole subreddit just ignored him and only insulted him.

I don't know whats wrong with those people over there. They don't even see themselves.

InvaderDJ · 2011-12-26T11:16:20+00:00

At the risk of incorrectly explaining something I know very little about and explaining something that is already known: SRS is not for debate. If you come in there asking "Why is this wrong" or "Why is this offensive" 9 times out of 10 you're not going to have a good experience.

SRS is a rant space against what they see is the shittiness of Internet culture and reddit in general. It is bizarro reddit almost, lots of memes and circlejerking and just like someone who came into another subreddit and asked something like "Why is everyone so dumb and not Christian" would be downvoted your counter opinion is going to be downvoted. SRS is a place where the marginalized people of reddit can come, relax, and know they are amoungst peers without having to constantly defend themselves or be attacked.

They aren't interested in "debate." These are people who have tried that multitudes of times and they get caught in the mental minutia of having to explain tons of basic shit to people who aren't really interested in learning or people who are more interested in posting logical fallacies and talking in circles than actually making a good point or being a decent human being. They also don't like the slippery slope that other subreddits like it have gone through, like /r/askfeminists or /r/twoxchromosomes which have basically become (for lack of a better word) infested with MRAs and turned into something they weren't supposed to be. Where every topic with a feminist or woman issue ends up turning into an argument about false rape or circumcision.

Supposedly they are going to be opening up a subreddit strictly for discussion or debate.

I've been downvoted and redflaired there before and your first reaction is to be upset and to hate it. But once I realized that it wasn't for me I stopped taking it so seriously. I use it now to basically get some unvarnished perspective from people who are so different than myself (women, lesbian, trans, whatever). If I don't agree with something, I don't post it there because it won't do any good. I've tried a few times to start up conversations on subreddits more suited to debate and discussion, I wonder how going into a topic on SRS I wanted to debate and discuss and posting a link to another subreddit where that debate is happening will go?

...And since it obviously needs to be stated: No, SRS doesn't think you are a sexist, racist, homophobe strictly because you're a straight, white male. That is just a form of circlejerking and dealing with what they actually think you are without wasting much time or mental energy: a troll (who might be racist, sexist, or a homophobe). And even if they did think that: so? I don't think you have anything to worry about straight, white man.

Also, finally if you are interested in learning some of what they think they do have a link on their sidebar to the Royal University of SRS which goes into a lot of detail of what they believe.

danielfoley · 2011-12-26T01:23:06+00:00

I was just on there and in a post about how shitty sexism was someone made an oft upvoted joke about making a blender that's shaped like a vagina so.. well you know the rest. The hypocrisy baffles me.

CorranHorn · 2011-12-26T04:03:39+00:00

This is what they send you after they ban you for arguing against them.

"Have you recently read an upvoted Reddit post that was bigoted, creepy, misogynistic, transphobic, unsettling, racist, homophobic, and/or overtly privileged? Of course you have! Post it here."

This should clue everyone in on what they're about, so it doesn't bother me. Now if SRS didn't come with this premise then it might be worth arguing about.

KoNP · 2011-12-25T22:57:12+00:00

Angry little feminists with no real power and a whole lot of crazy, that's what they are. Their subreddit is just an exercise in browbeating into submission the people they disagree with, throwing around the words "misogyny!" and "TRIGGERS!! TRIGGERS!!" like they're fucking confetti at a wedding, and generally just being a bunch of shitstirring cunts.

Fuck them, and fuck their idiotic den of feministic circlejerking. I couldn't give a rat's ass if they decide to link to me over this comment either - in fact, I welcome it. I have karma to burn - bring it on, you arrogant, hypocritical dykes.

sandgoose · 2011-12-26T08:07:35+00:00

I think r/srs is hilarious. It's full of bile and righteousness.

dancewaterdance · 2011-12-26T15:11:27+00:00

Congrats everyone!

If you want to actually DISCUSS the issue at hand, head on over!

ValiantPie · 2011-12-26T06:46:24+00:00

Really, I don't have much of a beef with them in terms of their fighting of racism, homophobia, and transphobia, aside from the mix of idiocy and self righteousness they use to confront it, along with the fact that they oftentimes miss the mark on reading comprehension. I mean, being straight white or cis really doesn't have a role or disadvantage assigned to it. In that manner, people don't have roles or expectations assigned to it, does it? You can argue otherwise, but if you do, I can't help but think of you as a bit of an idiot.

Sexism, however, is a more complex issue. Men and women have restrictive roles placed on them, and anybody who denies either misogyny or misandry are either blinded by privilege, or deluded. Hating on straight people or white people doesn't have much impact. Hating men, however, has some societal consensus backing it up. Even if they didn't act like idiots all the time, the gynocentric way by which they attack misogyny hurts men to a greater degree than it helps women, in my eyes.

Of course, this brings up a greater point. These guys shouldn't be our main concern. Really, the only impact they have is making sure everybody knows that they are very, very butthurt. Anything they throw at men that has any weight has already been inflicted by society. We can generalize from here, the parts of feminism you guys don't like are things not created by them, but by society.

Another point. I don't get the feminism bashing here. I don't think they are the primary perpetuators of misandry out there. The only really bad thing that stemmed from it was the establishment of a gynocentric framework of gender discourse. This is not good justification for the extent to which mensrights thinks that feminism is some kind of boogeyman. In fact, it's even a bit understandable, given that it is a response to the sexism women have faced, past and present. Sure, there are manhaters, and yes female privilege exists. I just feel as if r/mensrights is tilting at windmills.

Really, all I can say about feminism in terms of its relation to men is that it isn't equipped to examine men or masculinity as well as it thinks it is. Still, I think we have a lot of feminist allies and I feel we should like a lot more parts of feminism than we do now.

SRS encapsulates all the parts of feminism I don't like, and MR encapsulates the parts of the mens' movements that I don't like. Fights between the two are depressing. Lets talk about real issues, please. Maybe we'll get somewhere, someday.

KMFCM · 2011-12-26T06:48:32+00:00

i never go there.

i mean, why go there? you know what they're about. they're not gonna change.

ignore it.

EvilPundit · 2011-12-26T01:03:46+00:00

SRS is crap, but I have to admit I like the way they're creating and inspiring new MRAs every day with their blatant sexism, hatred and trolling.

DougDante · 2011-12-26T06:35:26+00:00

They're trying to make reddit a better place. There is some truth to their complaints.

If we could find a happy medium ground ... who am I kidding.

Flame on, everyone!

Scott2508 · 2011-12-26T20:48:52+00:00

ok everyone who concerns themselves with it id like to show you the following link http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/mqi8q/iama_white_teacher_working_on_an_extremely/c3bca1y?context=3

So there you go , if you were ever worried about these fucknuts , they are the biggest bigots on reddit .

AryoBarzan · 2011-12-26T01:02:01+00:00

One of my posts was linked to those over-ovulating dipshits, which is how I found out about them. I have never seen such a useless group of individuals... Do they really have NOTHING better to do all day than to downvote people they disagree with? Who wants to bet all these morons are womens studies/sociology majors with $50,000 in debt who work at Starbucks?

Baadasssss · 2011-12-26T00:02:31+00:00

You guys have a topic on SRS every other day or so.

Maybe you should marry it or something.

If there was like a really smug-looking emoticon, y'know with one raised eyebrow and all, this is where I'd put it.

2011-12-26T06:52:40+00:00

When I first heard about /r/srs, I thought it meant the good kind of shit that has circulated reddit in certain posts. I expected a "Kids say the darnedest things" kind of theme. I was horribly disappointed.

RoflCopter4 · 2011-12-26T04:24:11+00:00

lots of highly upvoted misogyny, transphobia, and homophobia in this thread, thats cool. way to prove our point, lol

Bigotry against straight white males is the only acceptable form of discrimination these days. The liberal feminist cohesion punishes honest men whilst celebrating deviants and violent minority races.

Il128 · 2011-12-27T12:11:48+00:00

Remember it is the good people, the nice people, the well liked people, we all need saved from.

So many people are baffled completely shitless by a statement like this, "Hitler was an amazingly nice guy, people loved him!"

Assholes don't become the absolute dictators of anything. I'm amazed at how many people don't know that.

and- · 2011-12-26T07:04:32+00:00

Given that they think science is racism, I'm sure we can agree thet the people in that subreddit have no notion of rational thought.

AntiBigots · 2011-12-26T11:45:05+00:00

Mods and prominent posters of SRS have

*Called a black man "uncle tom"

*insulted victims of male genital mutilation

called hetero cismen the "most disgusting group on the planet"

*advocated worldwide gendercide via a virus targeting the Y chromosome

*made fun of an autistic person

All this and more at /r/BigotryShowcase

Shitposter_Deluxe · 2011-12-26T15:17:14+00:00

This just in: SRS has (kinda) leveled the playing field by opening up a discussion board. Go crazy, you crazies.

Oh, and there's this too.

Geologic42 · 2011-12-27T08:38:54+00:00

SRS = My only hope that there's somewhat decent and good human beings on the internet. Literally polks fun at what stupid/ignorant shit people say on Reddit. It's great.

AryoBarzan · 2011-12-26T11:13:42+00:00

You know guys, I was thinking... Is there anyway we can create a reverse 'SRS' to combat these internet femicunts and white knights? Not only is this an MR issue, but a free speech issue. I'm willing to bet we'll have more redditors in favor of free speech than nit-picketers like these fascist menstrators.
