This is hardly anything new. It looks like they're exploiting the current controversy to try again.

I doubt anything will happen unless we break reddit rules, and we're careful to enforce those.

Just in case the worst should happen, though, it's good to keep a healthy list of bookmarked men's rights sites all over the net. Also, bookmark or subscribe to our official off-site blog and forum.

Personally, I don't blame the admins for not wanting to ban these subs. It's not just the fall out and spill over into the main subs they would have to worry about, it's their own safety. The MRA subreddit is by far the biggest MRM hub online, and MRAs have proven time and time again that they are more than willing to doxx, threat, hurt, and even kill those who oppose them. A lot of these admins are public figures with a lot of information available that dangerous MRAs could use against them. After the whole Elliot Rogers shooting spree, I can only imagine how many unstable and very dangerous MRAs would see admins as public enemy #1 and react violently.

I believe that nothing is going to be done until something horrific happens. The MRM sub is like someone who adopts a baby tiger; at first, the tiger is easy to contain and it doesn't bring much attention to itself. But as the tiger grows, it becomes harder to contain and control, until one day there is no cage big enough to house it. Eventually, it breaks free and destroys the house and runs outside, causing terror to the entire community.

The MR sub is no longer containable, and the admins know this. They keep trying to find ways to lessen their damage, much like the tiger owner would try to get a bigger cage every time the tiger grows in size, but in the end, these methods only help temporarily.

The problem has gotten too big now, and now the only way these subs will end is when something really bad happens that puts not only the MR sub in a bad light, but reddit as a whole, too. Either someone is going to end up seriously hurt or dead.

If the admins were smart, they would do it now before this happens, but I honestly believe they are also afraid to do anything at the risk of their own lives. Think about it... if the MRAs knew your name, face, and where you work and reside, would you want to ban their sub? Personally, I would be too afraid to go against the MRM.

This is just like gender feminists. Libel and censor and false narratives. We are (mostly) men and want to support men in relation to their gender. It's that simple.

Where's this even being posted?

Perhaps someone knowledgeable can talk about past victories where Reddit was forced to change. I'm thinking about the banning of child porn subs. How did that come about? How did the admins respond? How is the new policy worded?

Neither men nor women would have any speech rights whatsoever if they had their way. Thank God for the First Amendment.

Oooh, a thread on plotting to stifle precious MRA free speech.

This gets my stamp of approval.

White rights isn't a hate sub, any more than Black or Asian rights is. Seeking rights is not hate. Actually none of those listed are hate subs.
