Reddit Just Banned Even More Hate Subreddits - TERF Communities Go Bye Bye

Deleted member 18944 · Jul 10, 2020

Here's a list of them. Last week, there was a wave of reports sent to admins about these subreddits, and honestly, given Reddit's history, I doubt anyone who reported it thought it would happen. But they did it.

Reddit out here actually putting their money where their mouth is about reducing hate speech
Nice to see

Psychonaut · Jul 10, 2020

Never would have expected the recent face turn from Reddit, but I'm very much into it.

SuperBonk · Jul 10, 2020

Wow, pleasantly surprised to see Reddit take such a strong stance against transphobia.

airbagged_ · Jul 10, 2020

OWNED. Good shit.

Time for those roaches to scatter to the winds.

andymoogle · Jul 10, 2020

Good riddance.

BringBackSonics · Jul 10, 2020

Off they go, good riddance

ThatMeanScene · Jul 10, 2020

Good, more action. I hope they keep this up.

greengr · Jul 10, 2020

Reddit with the face turn

FTF · Jul 10, 2020

Good riddance and keep the purge going.

discotheque · Jul 10, 2020

Still waiting for the inevitable KotakuInAction ban. The salt will be delicious.

SpaceCrystal · Jul 10, 2020

Good. Get fucked.

Platy · Jul 10, 2020

wait ...ALL the new bans are terf based ?

That sounds .. weird

GYODX · Jul 10, 2020

Wow. The TERFdom's bigger than I expected. Well, was.

Mauricio_Magus · Jul 10, 2020

Fuck yeah

Geist · Jul 10, 2020

Out of all the social media platforms Reddit was the last one I thought would start cleaning house. Good job.

NameUser · Jul 10, 2020

Good. Facebook needs to do the same. Tired of all these Tech Bros talking about free speech. Fuck that, it's your site, you don't owe anyone a platform.

Reddit probably doing it a category at a time
First was outright hate speech, now its anti-trans
Who knows maybe we will get even more bans soon

Sordid Plebeian · Jul 10, 2020

Good riddance, I wouldn't want that filth on my website either

MayorSquirtle · Jul 10, 2020

Have theredpill and KiA been purged yet? Those were pretty glaring omissions from the first wave.

FormatCompatible · Jul 10, 2020

Good. Go back to the mud pits you crawled from TERFs

Psychotext · Jul 10, 2020

What on earth was "thisneverhappens"?

I am a Bird · Jul 10, 2020

Good riddance to garbage

Apollo · Jul 10, 2020

beautiful

Zutrax · Jul 10, 2020

Good riddance.

But what's up with "/r/itsafetish"? It's not immediately apparent to me what that one was. Was it claiming something like "trans individuals only transition because it's a fetish" or something gross like that?

TaySan · Jul 10, 2020

Wow. Good on Reddit to start cleaning house. :)

this one and r/itsafetish would've had me glance over like it was just a regular subreddit. i can't believe it's not a fetish subreddit

Yes. The avatar/PFP for the subreddit was this character making an ahego face:

The TERFs posting in that subreddit thought that trans women were all men who had been brainwashed by hyper-sexualized anime. They rarely taked about transmen.

Blackage · Jul 10, 2020

r/kappa still dodging all these reddit bans.

Ramala · Jul 10, 2020

Alright, alright. Let's keep this ball rolling.

Superbly Superlative · Jul 10, 2020

This shit needed to happen years ago, but it's good to see it happening at all.

Honestly if enough people report them for TOS violations they could get banned or quarantined. My guess is they avoid the spotlight because most reddit users have no clue who they are.

I'm more surprised r/KIA is still standing.

They see an opportunity with the Facebook boycotts. They've wanted to expand their advertising for a while and this finally gives them a chance.

secretanchitman · Jul 10, 2020

I'm glad they banned them. What I didn't realize is how many subreddits are (were) filled with that kind of crap? Honestly...

Like other subs of the Terfsphere, they argued that transgenderism is a result of porn addiction, and that lesbian trans women are men maliciously attempting to have sex with lesbian cis women.

It's quite easy making a new subreddit. As easy as making a thread on here. A lot of those subreddits banned did not have many members.

Strike · Jul 10, 2020

Overdue, but good.

Natural Selection · Jul 10, 2020

God I must be living under a rock. I had no idea these things existed. So glad it's getting cleaned up though

The Overton window has shifted,the corps are just taking advantage of the opportunity,reddit wouldnt dare pull that shit a couple years go(they should have ofc).

Lashley · Jul 10, 2020

Good to hear

John Dunbar · Jul 10, 2020

how populated were those subreddits? half of them sound like the same thing.

edit: some of the reddits in the op still seam to be open.

There's a couple of lists floating around where you can see specific communities attempting to restart themselves with half assed copy cat names, adding numbers on the end of them to dodge the bans for however long it takes for Reddit to notice lmao
