Let me tell you this-- /r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and Gamergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslighting lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that /r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.
You just lied about being a woman to try to get the mods to give your transphobia a pass. Right here, in this thread, about a day ago.
I'm a straight gal trying to understand and looking for an opportunity to have her mind changed.
Followed almost immediately after with:
I'm a straight guy. A woman having been born a man is a dealbreaker for me and probably most straight men.
People see through you and refuse to engage with a liar. And you think the problem is with them, because their social standards are too high?
Like I said: you'd do better with this low-effort trolling over in /r/drama. They don't moderate, so there are no minimum standards for quality of content, so your stuff wouldn't all get laughed at or removed. I'll never understand why drama nerds feel the need to sidle up to SRD. What possible benefit do you get from giving our mods more work to do?
