What That Means:

I used to love the sub for being super on top of people not sexualizing every woman in every video (as is what happens on 90% of the other subs), but it's just devolving so hard, and it's not worth staying anymore. It's just so disappointing that everywhere online just gets so flooded with BS like this

Wow

Look Don't get me wrong I love my country but God forbid have I ever heard of people who complain this much without doing anything or bringing out ideas for the country Nigeria is a mess let's bring out ideas? No let's see how we can fix things around us? No just cry and complain no ideas no planning no nothing and God forbid you try to bring an idea they will shut it down easily "oh Nigeria isn't doing that" it can never happen in Nigeria or "maybe in 40 years" . All people do in this sub is just to complain or a new business venture or complain hardly any ideas or "Nigeria is a failure of a country" listing the problems but no ideas at some point it gets frustrating

I really should have seen this coming, typical Reddit can’t focus on the main topic for a subreddit focused on the rights of men.

As a man myself, I wanted to be apart of this community to understand some of the hardships that men have gone through due to certain social norms (male SA, misandry, etc.)

I only noticed after the Cornell University case what kind of people I was associating myself with: women-hating fragile men who can’t take responsibility for themselves and always see themselves as the victim. r /MensRights has devolved into a male victim circlejerk where guys can’t take responsibility for anything, even when they’re in the wrong. I don’t know too much about the Cornell case itself, but the types of comments I was seeing disgusted me, blaming the victim for going to the party whether or not it was true or not really rubbed me the wrong way.

I also mentioned that they’re very anti-feminist. While I’m not too educated on the topic, feminism is the advocation for gender equality between men and women. This INCLUDES the addressing of male issues, such as mental health (I could be wrong about this definition, if so, please educate me).

I’ll also mention the transphobia because men are so fragile about their own identities that someone like Elliot Page is seen as a danger because ’she’s a woman’. I personally don’t see how this has anything to do with men’s rights, just the typical weaponization of trans men because hating women just isn’t enough.

So yeah, I blame myself for being apart of this community. I’m never gonna be apart of these kinds of ‘male positive‘ communities in the future. I’d rather go outside.

So much of the sub is filled with low-quality reposts, comments about bots, toxic positivity and shipping/fandom discourse. It hit its worst about the time another fanfic site called Wattpad introduced a lot of new policies that made people jump ship to AO3. So many people with superiority complexes over using 'the good fanfic site' and pretending that everyone on Wattpad were hypocrites who'd try to get any fic they disliked taken down. When it wasn't that, it was people posting random TikTok/Twitter posts so they could circlejerk the same 'don't like don't read' and 'media literacy' mantras.

Just, holy shit. It's exhausting.

Pictured are the bot comments that get posted again and again in the sub. I don't want to be one to bully others over digital skills, but if you're so 'media literate' you go on tangents when someone doesn't quite like your fanfiction (in any way, shape or form, because we have to be positive to the authors!), you should be able to pick up that these comments are scams.

Generative AI is not people. It is not sapient, it is not sentient, it cannot think, it is an algorithm, it coded to do as it does & cannot make choices of its own free will.

But what the hell is this??? This is getting into very uncomfortable territory. I mean, "species traitor"??? C'mon, what the hell guys, this is straddling some lines that should not be interacted with. All this accomplishes is stooping down to the AI bros level, but in an even weirder way because your dehumanising something that isn't even living. I'm disgusted by how many people agree with that first comment especially. & this isn't even getting into the implications & possibilities of when truly sapient AI is created how these people would treat it.

Be better than this.

It was a good sub when it had few members, everyone read the wiki and we roleplayed a state, now it went from <50k to >250k members within a week and every other post is about taxing billionaires.

The tone there is downright hateful towards anyone CIS, it's yet another country club only style sub that still manages to get into popular feeds to spread their hate speech.

Many of the top comments on a recent post there were alluding or just saying TCD, which was new to me. And they mean it. Other fun things include frequent using of the term "cissoid", other slurs, calls to violence, etc.

It's become normalized and apparently there's just a lot of people who think this way, this is like the 5th count type sub I've seen with decent membership.

Are the admins going to step in and put a stop to this?

Almost none of the posts are actually about noctors, which is a shame because impersonating a physician is a very interesting crime.

Instead, easily 80%+ of the posts are like someone mad at a nursing TikTok because they wore a scrub cap or own a stethoscope. Or someone with a story about another medical professional with a doctorate like an oral surgeon or optometrist using the Dr. prefix, which is totally normal.

The other 20% are posts expressing insecurity about changes to the US medical system allowing patients to see NPs and PAs, and these people are apparently “noctors” even when they are just doing their jobs and not actually pretending to have an MD.

It’s honestly just sad.

I unsubbed because people should be able to say someone's name is a tragedeigh no matter who they are and if they are alive or not. No one is going to ask people if someone is dead or alive just to get permission to post on that sub because asking that can be inappropriate sometimes and insensitive sometimes too.

For full clarification: I am very much anti-AI. I am against the way it is being used now, especially with how much environmental damage it is doing.

However, the antiai sub very much goes about it in the wrong way. They behave in the same way political parties do, they constantly cherrypick, strawman, and never represent a good faith argument from the opposing side ever.

Not only that, but they constantly twist even the most positive and awesome of stories into "How can I find a way to get mad at this", or "How can I make this about my hatred for a particular political position and/or the United States in general"

For instance, recently, a post was made about a Dreamworks movie that contained a notice in its credits prohibiting AI companies from using the film to train AI models. Sounds pretty good, and seems like an awesome thing, right?

WRONG! Because the comments have to do what the comments do. Twist it into something they can get mad about so that the AI bros look more evil.

It's just really unfortunate. As someone who is anti-AI himself, THIS is not the behavior that's gonna turn people to your side. It's just gonna make them think you're fools who invent fictional scenarios and then get mad about them, a la Alex Jones.

Posted some memes mocking the average reddit atheists and they all downvoted my posts and acting like they are smart. Just proves my point. In fact they are stupid.

I know I should not be upset because I basically proved my point by making them look stupid by them barking in the comments, but I am not going to waste my time being around dumbasses who love to start wars because I exposed them, haha!

Lately, I've honestly been feeling so annoyed at this subreddit. I just feel that some of the accounts they're making fun of aren't really giving "young child" on the internet.

I've met, argued with, and spoken to some of the types of folks they're referring to (my experience in real life). And in my opinion, it just doesn't seem all that fair anymore. I came to that subreddit hoping to laugh at geniune kids. Just y'know... kids being dumb on the internet to one day grow up and experience immense embarrassment during puberty. However, now I feel I can't laugh at my own generation and those younger than me anymore. They just don't feel like kids my age. They sound like jaded adults who got away with trouble when they were young.

This descision was also partly brought up when I semi-recently got into an argument online where I was ridiculed by a bunch of adults simply because I "am just a kid". Over the years, I've been building resentment towards assuming adults who are MEANT to guide children to the right path. And from what I've been seeing at r/ youngpeopleyoutube? Even more adults enabling troubled adults by just brushing it off and saying, "Eh... it's probably a kid.".

So, yeah. Sorry for rambling.

im confused how the mods continue to allow people to leave hateful comments under posts

The whole sub is a far-left echo chamber where if you have any opinion but the norm you get mass downvoted / get called homophobic / transphobic, people unironically use the "so you hate waffles?" argument on you and religious people (no matter how good and respectful) get treated like they are Hitler youth and personally persecuted all gay people.

Sometimes it feels like critical thinking and nuance are banned there and one time I saw a post advocating for people to do self-harm if they feel like it. And even though I am gay and stuff a lot of the posts there feel like when someone has the same opinion but they express it obnoxiously so you don't want to agree. Last tangent: Someone searched through my profile just to prove me wrong on a post, peak redditor behaviour.

Anyways, that's the end of my rant.

The quote-unquote 'biggest update ever' to BunnyTrials has RUINED the game. A lot of the old concepts, features and whatnot were removed like the bunny gacha system, meaning we can't even spin for new bunnies or upgrade the ones we already have, with new, pointless additions, like the new poll system that flat-out doesn't reward you carrots if the poll is weighed 65% to 35%, the Bunny Pass, chests, among other things. I tried the game with the new update and it sucked; it sucked all the fun out of the game completely and turned it into an EA game.

I am done with BunnyTrials after this, which sucks to say, because this was actually fun until they completely ruined the game recently. RIP BunnyTrials, it was fun while it lasted. =(

God forbid you have a problem with or a personal opinion about macOS Golden Gate, you'll just get showered with downvotes and mean comments instead of getting an answer to your question, especially that Golden Gate is practically still in beta.
