For those just catching up, it's been over a month since the the red pill's quarantine, and we still have not gotten a clear answer from the administration about what the offending content was, nor have we gotten a straight answer (or any answer for that matter) on what they recommend that we change.
/u/Spez and team posted a landing-page message when trying to visit the subreddit TRP, with a link to the Stony Brook University's Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities whose executive director at the time was Michael Kimmel:
"For information on positive masculinity, please see the resources available at Stony Brook University's Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities."
They posted a male abuse denier as an example of positive masculinity, and quickly took that recommendation down after Michael Kimmel was forced to step down due to sexual assault allegations, quickly proving that /u/spez and the administration are absolutely clueless when it comes to "positive masculinity".
To this, we have received absolutely zero apology for the sheer and unbridled misogyny that the administration demonstrated. I have decided that it was time to stop waiting for the administration to do the right thing and apologize, so I have contacted them on our behalf:
When you quarantined theredpill you posted a message on our landing page:
"For information on positive masculinity, please see the resources available at Stony Brook University's Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities."
And you linked to them. Their executive director was Michael Kimmel, who was on record on many occasions denying male victims of domestic violence and then accused of sexual assault and forced to step down from his position.
This was your example of positive masculinity that you sent to 300,000 of our subscribers. After these events came to light, your team silently removed the message but not until after damage was done.
I had abuse victims contact me and our mod team, confused and upset because of what happened. They did not like the idea of reliving their worst nightmare- that nobody would believe they were victims. Here they had found friends and people they could talk to about their experiences, and one day they were simply sent the message by your administration team that male victims of abuse simply do not matter and that real positive masculinity means denying that it happened.
I understand you guys don't like us. But for the sake of humanity and all that is good, will you please issue an apology to our members who were very much shaken by this experience?
I think we can both agree Michael Kimmel is not a role model for men. It was a mistake to suggest he was. Please do the right thing and issue an apology to our members.
Will they do the right thing and apologize?

Would it be appropriate for all who are interested to message them with a copy pasta version if this? I'm not talking about a man hunt or dosing them; it would be counterintuitive. This is all so that they know exactly how many people where affected. It is one thing to just see a number, but it is another thing when all of 300,000 subscribers message/email about how it is derogatory and negatively affected them.

Redpill has gone massively downhill, the new mods are cucks who ban for jokes.
I got banned from there for telling a guy "if you're that concerned about someone else's opinion of your belief in an imaginary man you're beta as fuck." That resulted in him flagging his mod friend, his mod friend banning me, then posting responses over and over to me as if he hadn't banned me, and sending private messages to me after because he was so upset.
Redpill is ran by beta cucks now, why anyone would want their opinion or moderation is beyond me.

Redpill, land of confidence, too insecure to handle that word? Never received any warning for using it at any time over a period of YEARS until one person was upset on a mod account.
