So some quick updates for the subreddit in general:

  • We are going to add a weekly feminism thread into the looks/n-count rotation. There was previously a complete ban on feminism not related to dating, however we are now allowing any kind of feminism discussion in the weekly thread. Feminism posts that specifically relate to dating will still be allowed in their own threads.
  • We will also include 4th weekly thread that will be decided ad hoc. Topics that are frequently overdone may wind up there (such as paternity tests), or relevant current events. If we don't have a suitable topic that week consider it a free-for-all of relegated topics (i.e. looks, n-count, or feminism).
  • Woe-is-me content, specifically regarding groups will now be enforced more heavily. Simply complaining about how bad one group has it will be considered equivalent to (if not already) black pill content, with 30 day bans and permabans after that. PPD is not a subreddit to validate people's feelings, it is a debate subreddit and the arguments should be the focus. Additionally, black pill remains banned entirely on this subreddit.
  • Please welcome u/Ainsleygz as a new mod of PPD. For the past few months, we have not had any active female moderators and only 1 blue piller, so we could use some women to keep the balance. In addition, we are still looking for 2 more female moderators. Please apply/nominate/endorse below in this thread if you are interested.
  • We are going to attempt to be a little more lax on the Q4 threads in regard to allowing men to ask men questions, and women to ask women questions as these groups are not a monolith. In addition, assumptions made in CMV may sometimes be allowed if it provides good discussion. However, all circlejerking will still be moderated, and more severely than before. This goes for both OP and top-level comments.
  • I've seen some people bring up Purge Week, so I figure I would let you all know purge week is on hiatus until further notice. Allowing it to happen is actually harder now with the way this subreddit has gone. Maybe in the future this can return.

Ok, some survey results (link to raw data at the end):

A lot of dudes here.

Varying ages.

Probably slightly above average social class to be able to spend time posting here.

Mostly USA, inch/pound vindication.

60% white, I don't know what this means for our diversity quotas.

You would think it's actually more singles the way this subreddit sounds.

Holy shit, this chart is an eyesore. Google should learn what colors are.

About 5 people put N counts in in the triple digits (its in the raw data if you want), I left it off so you can read the plot. (bin size 1)

1 is easy, 5 is struggle, although that was probably obvious.

1 is high sociosexuality, 5 is low sociosexuality, so PPD is on the slightly sluttier side despite the all the N count discussion.

Curious. (1 is no problem, 5 is big problem)

Filtered out virgins and black pillers.

Filtered out men.

A good amount of lurkers.

Any amount is too much.

Put people into boxes.

Other ideologies

I left some plots off, but they probably make more sense as further breakdowns and I don't feel like doing all that. If you do feel like doing all that, I'll make sure it gets seen.

Regarding comments on the subreddit, they mostly fall into one of these buckets:

  • This subreddit allows too much misandry/lilith exists.
    • Response: Report comments that violate the rules of this subreddit, they will either be removed or you were incorrect and may be too sensitive for this subreddit.
  • This subreddit allows too much misogyny.
    • Response: Report comments that violate the rules of this subreddit, they will either be removed or you were incorrect and may be too sensitive for this subreddit.
  • Let us discuss looks/black pill/incel content in threads.
    • Response: No.
  • Mods suck.
    • Response: No u.
  • Mods do a good job.
    • Response: Thank you.
  • u/milquetoastmf is too hostile. (There was only one, but I'll address it.)
    • Response: I'm just an asshole, I enjoy being this way. You'll get used to it. Or you won't, but that's a you problem.
    • 2nd response: Also, someone commented about how you can't see the mod who removed your comments. I've had it on hidden so many of them were probably me, I gotta get it to default to letting you know it was me, not trying to hide.

Have fun in the comments, this thread will again replace the weekly thread this week and then it should be back to it's regular cycle. I'd say I would respond this time, but the mod queue probably has a million things in it because of the holiday.
