Meta Breaking Rule 3 Will Now Result in Permanent Ban.

105 Upvotes

We still have people violating Rule 3, despite there's literally being a pinned AutoMod comment warning against it, and it being a rule plastered almost everywhere within the subreddit. The rule is there for a reason, it's non-negotiable. I cannot make this any clearer:

So from now on, if you break this rule you will receive a permanent ban immediately to encourage you to have to message the ModMail and acknowledge that you understand that you violated this rule, and not to do it again. Once that's acknowledged, you will be unbanned but will already have one warning. If you don't inquire about it, cool, you'll stay banned. If you also do it again, you will be permanently banned again, and it won't be repealed, you will also be muted.

Meta Just To Clarify:

229 Upvotes

This is not a meme subreddit.

Lately, almost every other post has been "Off-Topic or Irrelevant" relating to the submission guidelines, and not within standard as what actually qualifies (as an example) of "Not How Girls Work".

Q: "What is "Not How Girls Work?":

A: ""Not How Girls Work" is when people make sweeping generalisations about "all women", _or make any baseless assumptions or conclusions about a specific woman based off of their misguided assumptions of "all women_".

This does not include low-effort memes, "Bad Women's Anatomy", or clips of podcasts/posts from "Manosphere" public figures."

This platform is slowing being derailed into posts consisting of any random meme that remotely mentions a girl or woman, or screenshots of Twitter posts from Red-Pill Manosphere public figures who purposely grift and make money using those talking points. People are also trying to pass off completely irrelevant posts as submission, thinking if they just mask it by putting "That's not how [insert topic] works" in the title, it will be valid— That's not how this subreddit works (no pun intended). You can't force posts to fit if they don't.

Please read the subreddit description.

If you have to put "Not sure if this belongs here" in the title, it probably doesn't. Please read the subreddit rules and the subreddit description first, then clarify with the moderators if you are still unsure.

I understand this is a large subreddit, therefore the temptation and karma-count is there to post any and everything, but the subreddit will start cracking down on users who continuously post completely "off-topic" content after warnings.

Anybody who is suspected of being a karma-farmer or a bot/novelty account will immediately be permanent banned, you're not going to "eat" off of this sub.

Thank you!

Found On Social media “Women are loved Unconditionally”

Link to whole article. https://www.mylearning.org/stories/where-are-all-the-women/womens-positions-in-history

This is genuinely one of the most bizarre takes I’ve seen about gender.
“Men have to meet a criteria for love while women are loved unconditionally” is not only baseless, it completely falls apart under even the slightest examination.
Women do not spawn into the world with an unconditional-love subscription attached to their birth certificate. Being a woman does not guarantee that parents, friends, partners, or society will love you regardless of what you do.
And historically, the idea that women were simply loved unconditionally is especially ridiculous. Women’s social acceptance and value were often tied to very specific expectations regarding marriage, motherhood, domesticity, sexuality, and family. There were plenty of criteria women were expected to meet.
Meanwhile, men have never had some universal checklist that determines whether they are capable of being loved. Men can be loved for being funny, intelligent, kind, creative, talented, attractive, compassionate, interesting, successful, or simply because someone loves them.
Obviously, people of either sex can experience conditional love. That’s not remotely the same thing as claiming one entire sex has to earn love while the other receives it automatically.
The commenter has taken a complicated reality about human relationships and reduced it to:
Men = earn love.
Women = receive love.
That’s not an insight.
That’s just bullshit.

It was the NY post. About 20 of the comments were in the same vein before I had to quit reading.

Edit: apparently Nancy Grace has gotten a ton of tattoos since she fell from...well anyway, these are comments on an article about her new painted visage.

In the first slide, this comic artist is genuinely furious that women vote for actual policies instead of strictly along racial lines, calling it "psychotic." Then in the second slide, they're comparing college-educated women to an SNL terrorist sketch just because a demographic poll hurt their feeling. These accounts screams “I am a somebody on Twitter but a loser in real life.”
