Are BPers Bullies?

Were there really threats to "ruin family and livelihood"?

Also most people have never heard of TRP. I never heard of it until a few months ago, and I've been on reddit like two years man. People don't care about TRP as much as you think.

My opinion is that this is classic feminism, when they can't address an argument head on, they resort to naming and shaming- the last bastion of hope for the out-argued.

this is what redpillers actually believe

Heh, one idiot person with a brand new account made a post that purportedly doxxed someone (I didn't see it.) Ergo ABPALT! How do you know it wasn't done by the subject him/herself, just to get the BP sub banned. Really, you don't know. I don't know. But you are the one making the assumption that it must have been a true blue subscriber, and that all BP subscribers support this, and thus are bullies. Bless your heart, you tickle me pink all over.

If I remember correctly, that whole doxxing incident was just linking to a RP woman's blog. Hardly doxxing if you ask me, but I think the mods over at tbp just made that post to protect themselves.

GODZILLAFLAMETHROWER · 2014-06-25T15:23:28+00:00

since it would get them kicked off of reddit if they kept it

Or, you know, since they don't want doxxing to happen.

How is that not a hate crime? (...) Is there any moral superiority for blue pill ... ?

Yeah, speaking of moral superiority and trying to out-smug each other, TRP sure seems to care a whole lot about morality for an amoral guide to being an asshole.

Now as for the matter of concern (yeah, your petty namecalling is so productive, we immediately feel your will to discuss)

they'll stoop so low as to try to ruin people's livelihoods and families?

I guess you didn't read the thread you linked where TBP condemned the action of the few (or the one) who did it? Or are you so hell-bent toward their demonization that you will simply deny anything that contradict this beautiful and comforting narrative? (That's such a feminist and leftist reaction! Hold your frame FFS!)

Please edit your post. To our knowledge no one was actually doxxed. No need to stir up rage, at least not in OUR subbreddit.

It appears that a user posted a comment from a Rpers social networking site on /r/TheBluePill. No public information beyond that was revealed. The user who posted the comment has been banned from Purple Pill Debate. Additional disciplinary action was taken in /r/TheBluePill, although the mods did not reveal the precise details.

I'm not even sure any doxxing occured here. It looks like a brand new Redditor posted some detail about a poster and was immediately shut down by the BP mods. Which is exactly what they should have done and seems to be more of an argument against BP being bullies than for it. If BP were regularly calling for the doxxing of (and then doxxing) their ideological enemies you'd have a point but until then this is the internet and Reddit is anonymous so the best any sub can do is try to shut that shit down as soon as they get a whiff of it. Which BP did.

It's the ultimate in cowardice- removing any privacy/safety from someone they disagree with while hiding safely behind their numbers and aliases. Nothing more than your standard internet tough guy, except with added holier than thou.

There is DEFINITELY a moral superiority stance in TBP. But I don't think most of them are bullies. Part of that feeling of moral superiority involves some of them wanting to "save" us (particularly RPW), so I don't think they're bullying so much as butting in where they aren't wanted to provide us help that we don't need. It's annoying, but fairly innocuous.

It becomes much easier to use more and more aggressive tactics when you believe morality is on your side. That's why I think you're more likely to see doxxing from TBP side. TRP has no moral stance, so are less likely to feel such an extreme need to "expose" people in the hopes of showing others the light and shutting down what they see as an immoral system. But like I said, that's a minority of BP users. I certainly don't think most of them would do us harm, and from what I've seen when people get truly hateful and say outright cruel things about specific individuals on our "side" they get called out on it and are told that it's fucked up behavior.

asd1100 · 2014-06-25T16:36:58+00:00

all internet people are somewhat bullies...I've never men a person under 289 that is more polite on the internet than in real life.

duckducklandwhale · 2014-06-25T19:38:46+00:00

I think BPers are of the same conglomerate, ideology, and tactical mindset listed and used by several other bully subs (SRS, cringepics, AMR, etc) so I think they are bullies in that manner. The post from Spittin_Venom about there desire to shame and quell and speech they dont like is spot on. I think that the driving motive seems to arrive with a particular brand of hatred and passion that they dont mind if it extends pass the online realm and into the physical.

imissedaword · 2014-06-25T21:52:52+00:00

I think calling TRP "rape strategy" is a little over the top. It's one thing to say TRP is reactionary, stupid, or mean but I think the level of hyperbole is extreme when you start calling stuff "rape strategy" in this context. For all the awareness of internet attacks on women, RPW have been attacked more harshly than anything else I've seen on reddit.

clanktrees · 2014-06-25T15:24:33+00:00

Not really. One isolated individual linked to someone's blog and was promptly banned.

On the contra side, I've seen multiple instances of TRP linking to people's blogs, Craigslist ads, Facebook profiles, OkCupid profiles, etc, so even this one isolated incident is hardly a "BP" thing. Granted, even on TRP most of those were removed/banned, but some have slipped through and remained posted.
