let's join the call to get rid of misandrist powermods.

The admins have literally said they dont care about hate directed towards men. Paraphrasing, theyve said "our rules of harassment are based on vulnerability. White people and men are not vulnerable in the same way minorities or women are, so the rules do not apply."

I agree it would be great if those mods were gone, but there is about a 0% chance that those mods get removed due to misandry.

I thought for sure this was about awkward turtle because they mod something like 3k subreddits and caused an uproar with misandrist comments on r/mildlyinfuriating

I just noticed the mod list for /r/FragileMaleRedditor today.

All came into power exactly 4 months ago and many of them are mods for high-level subs, notably: /r/AgainstHateSubreddits (I have proof that this is actually a hate sub in the form of mods mocking the idea that we should care if white people are being dehumanized), /r/TwoXChromosomes (A infamously misandrist sub), /r/worldnews, /r/FragileWhiteRedditor, r/gay, /r/LifeProTips, r/tifu, /r/facepalm, /r/MadeMeSmile, /r/mildlyinfuriating, /r/insanepeoplefacebook (ah, so that explains that ban), r/madlads, r/dadjokes, part of the takeover of r/darkjokes, r/dank memes, /r/whatcouldgowrong and /r/BlackPeopleTwitter (enough said).

That's a lot of power for ten people to have. Ten unknown people with no qualifications who can set the tone of a sub.

Ten people who, being mods of FMR, we know to be misandrist, with that much power to set tone, and all of it anonymous.

That's not a good system. It's an unhealthy system, badly in need of reform. A quarter of the country talks about politics on Reddit.

Hot take: It's a public forum and should be nationalized. Professional moderation on every subreddit, where the only things enforced are the sub and site rules. They are rotated through subs so they don't form attachments. There's also a secondary team that takes complaints about mods.

I'm banned from ...8-11 subs and I've never once broken a sub or site rules. For every ban, I was questioning the sub narrative. Every single time. That's not a coincidence and that's not a sign of healthy communities.

Reddit without reformation is a gun to our head. It's too easily exploitable by any bad-faith agencies who want to spend the money. If we can't make it work for democracy it always revert to a natural state of working against democracy by creating false narratives and echo chambers, all while silencing resisters and discouraging free-thought.

Someday, if we survive all of this and also invent time travel, I want to be put in a position where I can bend down and softly describe to Stalin the amount of control, privacy and resistance people have willingly given up so they can talk about their favorite shows, sports or pets. I'll record the soft grunts and hitches of breath he makes as he floods the leg of his uniform with spooge and then when I get back turn it all into a house disco set with Jean Tonique.

u/awkwardtheturtle is a bigot. It's okay to say it, because it's demonstrably true. They are also a mod of /r/TwoXChromosomes, the height of #yesallmen.

The Left needs to decide if it stands for universal rights or 'equity rights', where people are granted social (and legal) rights based on their race, gender or sexuality.

I'm glad this sub exists. It creates space for the right for universal rights. Humanism is an essential component of democracy and we must begin to stand against any ideology that obstructs our path to the democratic ideal.

I get that you're feeling down but that was kind of a shitty edit.

I've been reporting all of this mod's explicitly hatefull posts to Reddit admins.

Posts like this one

Or this one. (The claim that hating men isn't hurtful to men is dehumanizing and hateful).

Also check out the mod list of /r/BlatantMisogyny and you'll notice a certain non-mod of menslib there. That sub also recently made awkwardtheturtle a mod because of the misandrist comments they made so it should qualify as a hate sub.

I'm banned from /r/AgainstHateSubreddits but if anybody wants to submit /r/BlatantMisogyny for installing a mod based on their previous hateful comments, please send me the link.

[Edited to add np links but otherwise don't believe I'm breaking any sub or site rules. Please let me know if I am but I'm not doing anything with this post that isn't done every day in AHS or subredditdrama.]

Looking at you awkwardtheturtle

MapleSyrup612 · 2021-08-01T06:58:33+00:00

Can someone stickie this?

quesadilla_dinosaur · 2021-08-01T06:26:19+00:00

Ugh, why does this matter? How does this help anyone?

I wish we spent more time dispelling myths about issues that affect men instead complaining about shit mods who everyone knows are shit.

Nvm we're not doing anything. All activism is useless and we're completely powerless in all facets.
Feminists are right. All people want to do is complain.

Activism is not useless. Have you seen the impact of the Black Lives Matter movement? Do you know that I’ve educated all of my friends on the harms of circumcision?

The feminists are not right.
