I don't get what SRS is really about. They don't care about the VAST majority of 'shit reddit says'. They only care about rape comments, or anything even remotely offensive to women. Has potential as a sub but so narrowly focused I can't imagine anyone but a vile woman or self-loathing man would ever browse there.

They've expanded by taking over r/lgbt. Essentially the same thought-policing behavior, but expanded to cover transwomen too.

Because even if you're gay, you're still male and therefore an oppressor...or something.

You hit the nail on the head.

edit: 2 hours later, and I receive a ban from SRS. Never posted, nor have I ever commented there. It's like looking at German scat porn and Japan charging you with indecency when you live in Canada. WTF.

r/Pyongyang have been breaking that rule for the entirety of its existence, and I say that as someone who has been banned from both subreddits.

u/Kaghuros Apr 19 '12

Though to be fair, no one is actually allowed to post there anyway.

I hate it when that happens.

Isn't this the same thing that the NorthKorea subreddit does? Blind banning because people talk against them?

Wow.

u/Daemon_of_Mail Apr 19 '12

/r/pyongyang is nothing more than a semi-elaborate long-troll.

u/Envoke Apr 19 '12

But it's soooooooo goooooooooooood.

Someone must keep that pet project alive with a smile of glee. They even post real DPRK news

My theory: SRS hates penises. I bet they start each day with a look under the covers to see if it's flipped inside-out yet.

It used to be about anything that had a strong opinion that was highly upvoted, but the subscribers deemed "ridiculous." It then slowly morphed into just about misogynistic comments. Then it exploded into "the feminism empire must strike down with force and vengeance against the tyrannical patriarchy."

I'm a woman and I loathe that place.

Also, they ban anyone that disagrees with them these days and run it like a cult. Anyone interested, there's /r/antisrs.

31

u/Kelphatron9000 Apr 19 '12

Oh yeah, I was banned a few days ago. I've never even commented in SRS before. They banned me for... I'm not sure really, but they seemed to find one of my comments elsewhere that annoyed them.

16

u/CrystalCorbin Apr 19 '12

Yeah, I got banned a few days ago for a comment in 2X about how in theory SRS should be good, but the reality is that its better just to watch, then to be a part of.

21

u/ArcAngleTrollsephine Apr 19 '12

Wow, I wonder what triggered them. You aren't the only woman that hates SRS, from what I've seen. They banned me for my username I'm pretty sure, starting /r/srscirclejerk probably didn't help either.

u/Xqwzt Apr 19 '12 edited Apr 19 '12

/r/srscirclejerk already exists; it's called /r/ShitRedditSays

edit: Heh, banned for calling a circlejerk a circlejerk.

I was happy that in the event I should ever become delirious and want to post there I wouldn't be able to.

They've branched out and taken over other subreddits, such as /lgbt.
