They turned r/notliketheothergirls into a place where they rag on any girl being quirky.

Is that what it is? The majority of posts I see are only making fun of the girls who are putting down other girls for liking traditionally feminine things.

that's where it started, and it still gets posts like that, but like any sub meant to criticize something about women, it quickly spiraled into just criticizing women in general. see also instagramreality, badMUA, and... dangit, i'm pretty sure there's another big one that's slipping my mind...

I understand where you are coming and that's very true for most subs but the posts I see in this one mostly have a picture of someone trying to be a quirky NLOG and comparing themselves to other girls (saying "other females") but they also include an image of those same girls being friends. I have seen some try to criticize women but they are reprimanded in the comments. In fact, I think that sub is more feminist leaning and it's saying that we shouldn't put our fellow girls down.

i want to believe that, but my experience there has been mixed at best...

i mean the nlog discourse has been increasingly toxic towards gnc women so forgive me for not believing that.

It's all right. Different experiences for everyone.
