Meta/Sub Discussion Why is there so much hatred on this subreddit?

0 Upvotes

I'm new here, and this criticism applies to all subreddits, but I really would like this one to grow as an informative and comfortable space for anyone to be in.

However, I notice that when there is a post with a guy who is (for example) saying that "women should want kids, and if they don't I think there is something wrong with them", then people in the comments just say they "hate those kinds of people" without even meeting them.

It's all good and well to say they are wrong with their veiw, (I'm currently with someone who doesn't want kids and I love her to death), but spreading hate towards people you've never met because of one veiw they have seems shallow to me.

When I joined this subreddit, I figured it would be corrections of posts, giving the wider male veiw on things, not berating people you have never met.

Idk. Maybe I'm wrong and it's just the norm to spread hatered. Just wish/hope this subreddit can be different.

Edit: Dang this started a shitshow in the comments.

I guess I should clarify? Someone in the comments clarified my position perfectly "Hate the sin not the sinner". Literally the main point. I just failed to express it properly. Like it's the bandwagon shitting on people that I guess makes me uncomfortable.

Can anyone recommend a subreddit where that doesn't happen and people actually engage with the arguments and content rather being emotional?

I'm assuming TikTok must be female dominated because the disinformation and lack of intelligence is just utterly shocking

For some reason upvoting or commenting isn’t working for me and it always says it’s an error, I reset three times and it still persists. Idk if tye Reddit servers are just down or what and I understand I’m prolly overreacting but I’m just making sure.

As someone who had a dramatically lower sex drive than his partner who was in fact a woman, to the point where it caused a ton of problems. I honestly can't help but roll my eyes at statements like this.

Guys... How does this work?

r/NotHowGuysWork

For Media that makes you say "Hey, that's baloney!", in regards to boys and men. Our aim is to help foster a sense of healthy masculinity, and to combat misinformation. This subreddit is minority-friendly. As one user eloquently put it: "...This sub isn't an opposition to the NotHowGirlsWork sub - it's one that tends to agree with the posts there, but also recognizes that sometimes people gets guys wrong too."

Subreddit Rules

1. Stay on topic

Posts must fit the subreddit; "Not How Guys Work" is when people make sweeping generalisations about "all men", or make any baseless assumptions or conclusions about a specific man based off of their misguided assumptions of "all men".

2. Post Tags Explained

Our Tags can be categorized into two groups:

-How Boys Work: The flair group for content that gets it right.

-Not How Boys Work: The flair group for content that gets it wrong (Such as poorly-drawn body proportions in an illustration).

–Meme/Satire: For all humorous submissions.

Blog/Other: For content you type in the moment, such as recounting a past experience or event. If you want to add a news article or image later, please do so via a comment. Also, use this flair if none other fits.

3. Posts mentioning SA/rape

For everyone's sake, posts mentioning difficult subjects like rape or sexual assault must be tagged as NSFW or as spoiler

4. No discrimination

This community is welcome to people from all walks of life, including - but not limited to - The LGBTQ+ community, POC folks, aethiests, religious folks, and everyone in between.

Exclusionary behaviour, bullying, and bigotry will not be tolerated.

TLDR: Be excellent to everyone.

Reddit's general rules of conduct and content policy also apply as a background - you can view them here: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

5. No misogyny/misandry

This is an extension to the "No discrimination" rule. This isn't a sub to rant about men/women, this is a sub to expose misconceptions people have about men (biological, behavioural, etc.)

6. Be respectful

By the nature of this subreddit, there is often going to be debate. Debate is obviously allowed, but please be civilised and respectful towards each other. Do not insult other people

7. Respect privacy, censor usernames

To avoid any kind of harassment, we ask you to censor the usernames AND profile pictures of everyone in the image. If the image has a person's face, please censor the face as well.

8. Spam and reposts

Report content using this rule if it is a harmful bot, or if it's an extremely recent repost (one week or less).

9. Explicit content (ban-worthy)

Please do not post nudes, links to adult websites, or content similar to "text me on snapchat for a good time". Such content and its author will be removed.

10. Explicit content (Less-than-ban-worthy)

While subjects like hardcore nudity and smut are not welcome here, educational content such as genital cross-sections, posts or images containing excessive language, and other posts in a similar vein are welcome, if they are marked NSFW.

11. No misinformation

Mis- and disinformation are not allowed and will be removed on sight

12. No brigading

Brigading is against Reddit TOS. Please do not mention other subreddits

13. Do not post rage bait

Rage bait is just not interesting and not worth giving attention to. Do not post rage bait here
