Warning: /r/feminisms has launched TROLL ATTACK against us

MeEvilBob · 2013-04-03T17:10:49+00:00

A feminist making a false accusation, fancy that.

CrossHook · 2013-04-03T17:53:06+00:00

C'mon is anyone surprised? We get trolled by feminists on a daily basis. It doesn't look like they have anything else to do with their time. No real issues besides abortion and that ones almost a moot point. And promoting rape hysteria can only occupy their attention for so long. They're bored and misguided so they come here and think they're waging some kind of vagina jihad.

The question is, can't our mods remove it?

EvilPundit · 2013-04-03T18:00:57+00:00

This is no big deal. He's actually spending money on our subreddit, which increases its value to the management of reddit.

Also, Dick Masterson is funny, once you realise he isn't serious. http://menarebetterthanwomen.com

Jero79 · 2013-04-03T19:04:17+00:00

/u/qgyh2 is a pretty well known reddit user. One of the first ones. He/She's probably a moderator on a lot of subreddits for his own subreddit /r/tldr

Maybe it's just one of his/her tasks to add sponsored links and isn't the one who paid for said link.

I would like to see more proof before I'll join the lynchmob.

AnnArchist · 2013-04-03T17:10:10+00:00

He's the one who put me on the mod list at /r/men.

This is a completely bullshit n uninformed opinion..

Clearly you don't know who you are posting about. He mods nearly 100 reddit.

2013-04-03T16:59:59+00:00

Nice work uncovering this.

Jovianmoons · 2013-04-03T18:06:37+00:00

I just assumed r/feminism or r/srs were keeping a continuous attack going at all times.

Super_delicious · 2013-04-03T17:07:02+00:00

I hope the mods ban the worst of the trolls.

MechPlasma · 2013-04-03T18:21:01+00:00

Okay, nobody's asked it yet, so:

How, exactly, does one promote a topic?

Also, how do we know it wasn't just an attempt at an April Fools ruined by it sticking around long after the day?

OThomson · 2013-04-03T17:08:42+00:00

Man the downboats men, this means internet war. EDIT Someone promote Femtheists blog on /Feminisms.

iamsoserious · 2013-04-03T18:34:05+00:00

Am I the only one who doesn't really care and thinks this is a non-issue?

Are people worried that others will think we carry the same views as this ad? Any sane person would deem that not to be the case...

Riesea · 2013-04-03T19:58:48+00:00

Hypocrisy: The fact that they attempt shaming this place with a professional troll and still haven't gotten around to shamming those U of T protesters or these idiots.

ptgrenville · 2013-04-04T00:53:31+00:00

What else are you going to do with a degree in women's studies?

YanksFan · 2013-04-03T19:24:06+00:00

On April Fool's day, hey guys think about it.

MattClark0994 · 2013-04-03T19:35:22+00:00

Feminists are pathetic.

sombrerobandit · 2013-04-04T00:03:09+00:00

downvotes look like penises so it's rape

Arxces · 2013-04-03T19:16:41+00:00

If we buy ads for their subreddit with the worst of FEMEN and Radfemhub-style pages, would that make us even or just juvenile?

2013-04-03T19:50:16+00:00

Always I see feminist making sabotage against man. I see even on feminist internet site that they plan kill all men. I wonder is this not against law to do? If man do or say this of female he put to jail. Why is not case with female?

Trosso · 2013-04-03T20:44:39+00:00

i always thought that account was a spam/ advertisement account.

2013-04-03T21:42:22+00:00

Well, you have to admit, it's hard for them to do anything else. Trolls being trolls and all.

windowvision · 2013-04-03T18:38:31+00:00

"men are better then women" is a book by Dick Masterson, who is an awesome man.

Synchrotr0n · 2013-04-03T18:57:50+00:00

That's why I always hated those sponsored links. Fuck this bullshit! Reddit shouldn't prevent us to downvote posts to oblivion, specially posts that clearly have nothing to do with an specific subreddit.

I know that allowing people to downvote them would result in an almost instant removal from the first page, but maybe if our downvotes had like 10% effectiveness on sponsored posts this would make things more fair for both parts.

womblefish · 2013-04-03T19:09:06+00:00

Does anyone know how sponsored links work?

Do you pay for a certain number of weeks? or is it a certain number of page views? or clicks?

i.e. If it's just a certain number of clicks, couldn't we all just click it till it goes away?

chevalier_d_eon · 2013-04-03T20:31:17+00:00

Can't we just laugh it off... The book is clearly a joke. A fucking joke... Remember those guys?

Wolvenfire86 · 2013-04-03T20:43:25+00:00

Okay, okay, calm down now. Just downvote it into oblivion like a mature person and don't resort to doing anything unnecessary.

qwertytard · 2013-04-03T20:52:23+00:00

instead of any retaliation i'm pretty sure if we didn't react to this at all, other then knowing that it's happening, it'd be more effective, no?

2013-04-03T22:27:25+00:00

It's been going on for awhile, and just shows the quality of the feminists who do the attacks against MR. It's really quite sad and pathetic. How WEAK is your movement that you have to resort to LIES and SLANDER?

NovaLovesFrogs · 2013-04-04T07:35:28+00:00

I don't know if anyone's seen this one yet, so sorry if it's a repost in the comments.

The same user promoted this post with a banana slicer, claiming that "Our marriage has never been healthier, AND we've even incorporated it into our lovemaking."

2013-04-04T11:24:59+00:00

That explains a lot.

biscuitgravy · 2013-04-04T18:55:16+00:00

I upvoted that link because Dick Masterson is hilarious in that he's unreasonably and absurdly sexist.

2013-04-03T18:37:27+00:00

Well this may be some variety of inquest. Maybe they are looking to see how many women hating men there is in your subreddit. I actually do not have a problem with trolls to an extent. Usually with sufficient free speech they get called out anyway.. So is a misnomer imo. Sometimes they fish out dorks who are not being objective.. which makes topic discussion complicated because you have extreme objections etc. But if the troll is not called out.. it could ruin a subreddit.

2013-04-03T20:49:31+00:00

Meh. If they want to have some fun, why not. Maybe they'll get bored eventually.

giegerwasright · 2013-04-04T04:42:23+00:00

I'm not convinced that Dick Masterson is actually a dude. I think there's a good chance that he was born with a vagina. He carries himself with the exaggerated masculinity and farcical overprojection of FtM's I've known.

Dashzz · 2013-04-09T03:17:09+00:00

He is the king of Reddit though. Morderater of all and has the top post ever.

whitehat511 · 2013-04-03T19:40:35+00:00

I love it.

LinkFixerBot · 2013-04-04T01:16:57+00:00

r/feminism and r/MenRights are fighting? Maybe you guys should go to r/counselling and work out your problems together. I know it might seem pretty weird at first but having a third party to mediate these things can do wonders for a relationship!

2013-04-04T08:30:19+00:00

Check out the username. The individual has a huge amount of karma. They are also the poster of "Test Post: Please Ignore", the highest upvoted post on all of Reddit. Obsessed attention whore, perhaps?

2013-04-04T15:23:08+00:00

Women are gross. Through and Through.

hollahkat · 2013-04-04T18:31:59+00:00

lol oh dear. you guys are crazy.

Kaderpy · 2013-04-03T20:45:12+00:00

No worries, you might not be able to hit a woman, but I can!... If it comes to that...

buttholemacgee · 2013-04-03T17:40:14+00:00

That chick needs a boyfriend like no other.

NoSmallTitties · 2013-04-03T20:02:16+00:00

Like all fat and ugly girls, she needs attention. Even if its internet attention

sprankton · 2013-04-03T20:36:56+00:00

One person makes one post here. That person happens to be a mod on /r/feminisms(among many other subs), and you instantly assume that it's a TROLL ATTACK?

How's that persecution complex working out?

sonofarex · 2013-04-03T18:29:35+00:00

Are they going to toilet paper your tree fort?

qgyh2 · 2013-04-04T04:17:24+00:00

Hello /r/mensrights. As some of you know, I run sponsored ads for reddit. As well as random ads that target all of reddit, we regularly target specific reddits.

The book in question, (and it's title, used in the ad) is humor. Absolutely no offense or disrespect is intended towards reddit users, mensrights users, feminists, or anyone whatsoever.

question: are there any books or products you like to see advertised in this reddit?
