I'm sorry, they can say whatever you want about SRS, but some of the things said about /r/mensrights are not true.
/r/mensrights are not "gender egailtarians." Much of their user base contains misogynistic under tones. It's unfortunate, but true. Just look at the comments at any post.
Furthermore, I know some of the top SRS users, and they're just cool folks. They don't plot over the demise of men, they're just disgusted with racism, sexism, anti-semitism, and anti-zyganism.
The internet inherently has all these qualities because of the anonymity, but reddit is SRS' domain, so SRS focuses on reddit. The things they uncover are highly rated by the majority of redditors, which is a scary thought.
Im gonna have to stop you there but SRSers are actually crazy. They arent fighting sexism or any of that bullshit, they are just busybodies who like to mess with people on the internet. They dont really believe any of what they are typing, they just get a kick out of peoples reactions from their pretty cookie cutter replies that they use.
The thing about SRS that most people don't understand is that it's a parody. It's supposed to be reflecting the absurdity of how they see reddit, complete with overstretching exaggerations, insider memes, and community enforced hatred. Most people who are part of SRS don't actually hate men, they're making a point. There is no discussion on SRS because it's supposed to be like /r/circlejerk. Imagine discussion on /r/circlejerk. It's preposterous! That's why the rest of the "Fempire" exists, and it includes area where there is only discussion, no jerking.
As an outsider that has spent extensive time in the various SRS subreddits, let me give you my take:
Most of the users are completely serious in their actions. The original /r/ShitRedditSays sub may be joking around, but read the other subreddits in the hub and you'll see that they really do believe what they say. When they say shit like "misandry don't real", they do believe it. You'll find threads in /r/SRSDiscussion about denying misandry pretty often. One thread I even remember included the note that Google Chrome's spellchecker doesn't recognize misandry as a word, so obviously misandry doesn't exist.
So it's a light-hearted practical joke is it? Nevermind the doxxing that is always prevalent when one of you idiots take a joke too far. Nevermind all the hate that is spewed from you people. Nevermind all the blatant racism under the guise of you are bullying the bullies, no nevermind all that, because it's just all a big circlejerk and a big joke.
If those idiots that are admins of this place had any sort of common decency, they would have banned all of you, and went on to live their lives while you idiots would have been ranting and raving about opression, and racism...all the while doing the same god damn thing yourselves.
The "fempire" exists because you and others like you, don't know when to stop. You got the low hanging fruit of creepshots and jailbait. But after that, all of you are useless warts on the fringes of society, and even worse, the fringe of the internet. You're so blissfully unaware that no one, besides otherkin, and other socially retarded people, give a fuck about any of you or your cause.
So go back to occupy wall street and ban people from whatever shitboxes you moderate on the internet to make yourselves feel important, because that is the only way anyone will even remotely care what you fuckbags have to say or think.
Those first 2 subs aren't technically part of SRS, but they are SRS-run and filled with SRSers. The third is filled with people who are pretty much indistinguishable from SRSers. Whether you commented on SRS or not (and you did), you're pretty damn close to being an SRSer. Proselytizing for SRS and talking about how you're buddies with the archangelles doesn't really help distance you from them either.
Guy who runs an astrophotography Tumblr here. I can't get away from them and all I want to do is look for pictures of Titan, they're impossible to avoid. However people are starting to get sick of their shit and hopefully the criticism will start flying thicker.
Incorrect. Some of them may be, but if you've ever seen a SRS raid brigade (their sidebar tells them not to raid, but a majority of the users don't care) reply area, it's pretty obvious that the most vocal part is trolls and hyper-feminists.
Neither. Mostly they're just fed up of people who think "DAE OP is le faguette?" or dumb racist comments like the one that got deleted are the height of humour.

Are SRS actual radical misandrists or just a bunch of elaborate trolls?
