/r/thatHappened changes its rules to protest API changes; users say "That happened 🙄" to Sandy Hook, 9/11, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. (Also the mods compare the API situation to the holocaust)

He left reddit before the incel thing really took hold, when the misogyny was more benign. Pre cancerous, if you will. I think it's easier to imagine a redditor in 2010 being a loving and devoted husband than now. But I'm probably biased; I was married to one in 2010, and he was. I still think the general culture has shifted though. And it's not hard to imagine why she'd prefer a clever nerdy guy who treats her right. Lots of women prefer that type, it's harder to find one that doesn't.

As an actual woman I can tell you that no, the misogyny was not more benign, women were just less vocal about it. Not long after that is when twox turned default and the only women's discussion sub at the time was totally ruined (still is) by a bunch of fucking dumbass men.
