Men’s rights activists, beware: Reddit introduces new anti-harassment policy: Continuing the fight against "revenge porn" and hate speech, the platform is changing how it monitors content

That is absolutely astonishing - literally nowhere in the body of the article is there any other reference to Men's Rights, only to subreddits where "revenge porn" and hate speech are posted.

And she talks about harassment? Christ.

Funny how feminists say false accusations aren't common when everything they publish about us are false accusations.

"Stop harassing me with reality!"

I wish the real world would just stop hassling me.

"Continuing the fight against "revenge porn" and hate speech, the platform is changing how it monitors content." Really? Salon, why not throw in child pornography while you're poisoning the well?

Here is the actual policy.

we are changing our practices to prohibit attacks and harassment of individuals through reddit with the goal of preventing them. We define harassment as:

Systematic and/or continued actions to torment or demean someone in a way that would make a reasonable person (1) conclude that reddit is not a safe platform to express their ideas or participate in the conversation, or (2) fear for their safety or the safety of those around them.

If you are being harassed, report the private message, post or comment and user by emailing [email protected] or modmailing us; include external links if they are relevant.

I doubt it will affect us.

TL;DR: Don't trust what you read in Salon.

It's just that the only way you can mention reddit on your average online news/clickbait site is to paint it in the worst possible way.

Why?

Because reddit offers for free what these sites try to monetise - it won't stop them harvesting reddit for content, though. They'd rather you generate revenue off their second hand content than you simply going straight to the source.

Craysh · 2015-05-15T03:47:17+00:00

Because harassment is obviously all that we are about, right?

Get fucked.

Yeah it is pretty telling to see how feminist's get upset at the idea of men campaigning for their rights. They want to silence us so that we have to come to join their group and let them advocate for us on their terms.

Maybe we should go along with it. Some of them are now acknowledging that men do face serious issues, like false accusations, which hardly ever happen, and circumcision, which is nowhere near as bad as FGM, or custody laws. Actually, wait, they are still against reform there. Anyway, they have our issues on their radar and they are going to get around to them, after they tackle more serious issues like manspreading and offensive shirts.

Love how she constantly mentions harassment alongside us, without providing any evidence whatsoever it's occurring at our hands. Reminds me of Bush Jr. name-dropping Iraq every time he mentioned Al-Qaeda. "Well we never actually said they did it, you just assumed..." These articles also curiously never link to the sub, so readers can see for themselves.

Lol @ anyone who goes to Salon to get their news.

Funcuz · 2015-05-15T12:13:55+00:00

I love how people actually think that MRAs go around harassing people when the fact is that it's the other way around.

I guess that feminist propaganda machine is firing on all cylinders.

Ultramegasaurus · 2015-05-15T07:33:49+00:00

Of course, feminists and SJWs never harass or doxx. Just ask Joss Whedon.

Dunkcity239 · 2015-05-15T14:16:27+00:00

No mention of fatpeoplehate or srs

cymrich · 2015-05-15T20:15:16+00:00

I knew as soon as I saw the announcement that reddit would be cracking down on harassment that someone was going to be pointing fingers to this sub... I was going to wait and see if anyone was going to point fingers at the militant feminist subs as well... but I think we already know the answer.

SupremeAuthority · 2015-05-15T05:43:02+00:00

Do we have another site to fall back to after we get shut down?

2015-05-15T03:20:55+00:00

What a Kunt.

A mod just removed a highly up-voted post I made, claiming the title was "totally false". Yes I editorialized, maybe somewhat sensationalized (no more or less than is normal on Reddit), but was basically accurate. Read and see for yourself (if it is still visible):

http://np.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/35zlia/man_and_woman_get_drunk_and_go_back_to_her_room/

It is not the norm for such posts to be removed. This place is getting strange, and the mods are acting weird. I suspect they are under some kind of duress or pressure, and given all this crap going on at Reddit HQ I would not be surprised if they started acting like admin sockpuppets soon enough.

Always have a plan B.

Kingpink2 · 2015-06-18T10:46:51+00:00

If you take into account that radical feminists consider any and every critique of feminism "hate speech" the headline makes sense.
