So seeing as the news of this is making waves I thought I'd make a post to address this.

Yes, The sub was banned. it's not surprising to me in the slightest that it was. as much as there may have been positive intentions at one point. The sub was clearly toxic.

Personally I don't care that it's gone. And we'd be hypocrites to continually rag on feminists to be better with self policing the hate and extremism in their movement if we didn't do the same ourselves.

So to the sub. C'est la vie

Am I worried that ours is next?

no. We have clear cut rules against hate. Be it misogyny, transphobia, racism or what have you. and we moderate them well. We've even had people post about us on AHS but they struggled to come up with anything substantial aside from "B-But they dun like feminism"

And we also have the power of documentation.

And I'd like to offer up a sort of "contingency plan" in the extremely unlikely case of this sub being targeted next.

First off. We've "expanded" into somewhat of a loose network. You all can see related and cooperating subs in our sidebar. Utilize them the same way you would this sub. Make it difficult to justify any actions against us or any of them by being respectful and following the rules.

Second off.

DOCUMENT EVERYTHING

We already have screenshots of the admins stating that misandry is not against the rules of this website. https://imgur.com/a/pRpSAYc. Save it and share it around where you can without breaking the rules or spamming. And remind people that this is actively pushing people to radicalization.

if you are maximally mean to innocent people, then eventually bad things will happen to you. First, because you have no room to punish people any more for actually hurting you. Second, because people will figure if they’re doomed anyway, they can at least get the consolation of feeling like they’re doing you some damage on their way down.

Where you see misandry. document it with screenshots or on archiving sites and post it on /r/misandry

Third off. Create and advertise some off site contingency plan groups where you share this documentation. (and please note that while we do encourage making and sharing these groups. the current mod team is too busy to moderate much off of this site. So we can't be held responsible for the content and community of those groups)

That way if the reddit admins make the terribly unlikely decision that criticizing feminism where it harms people. and advocating for better treatment of boys and men is against their rules and ban this sub. We let loose a flood of evidence of biased, sexist and unfair treatment.

We send it to their advertisers. We send it to youtubers. We send it to journalists. We send it to whoever is willing to speak up.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant as they say.
