i have yet to see a semi-reliable source to that rumor

According to the rumors it came from a legit source though. People all around reddit are saying goodbye even in subs like politic compass memes and there stuff wasn’t even that bad????

I’m going to be pissed if we get banned while TRA subreddits are posting things like “ break people’s kneecaps if they don’t respect your pronouns”.

i still have yet to see a semi-reliable source to that rumor.

I hope you’re right. I’ll be crushed if this place or pink pill gets banned.

Blackpilled feminism and men of the wall got banned recently so I see no reason to think we and pinkpill wouldn't get the chop too :(

jupiter_sunstone · June 28, 2020, 6:11 p.m.

Exactly.

I wonder though if that's just a bunch of racists and right wingers hyping it as such.

But then again, this is reddit, where sexism thrives on the majority of the subs. So...

Maybe? I hope so. There was a post warning users on a gardening sub I’m in- I think the idea that anything deemed “hateful” could get banned isn’t that unreasonable.

PersnickeyPants · June 28, 2020, 6:09 p.m. · 1 reply

And the people deciding what is "hateful" will mostly likely be anti feminist men. So I can see the concern.

jupiter_sunstone · June 28, 2020, 6:11 p.m. · 1 reply

Exactly. There are so many anti-women subs out there it’s disturbing.

PersnickeyPants · June 28, 2020, 6:22 p.m.

And it's mainstreamed. A lot of people on the left are not okay with racism, and attacking of marginalized peoples (which is good) but still cling onto misogynistic views as if that is normal.

Would gender-critical be at risk? The mods usual do an excellent job monitoring trolls and our posters?

jupiter_sunstone · June 28, 2020, 6:02 p.m.

It’s a controversial sub, from the “outside” perspective. I’ve also been told that Female Dating Strategy is a “hate sub”, which is so fucking stupid- and I’ve seen screenshots of posts from GC on women hating subreddits so I know GC is monitored by angry boys and women haters, and given that Reddit has a track record of only supporting libfem ideology when it comes to feminism and “terfs” and seen as hateful bigots I don’t know, I feel like we should be aware it’s a possibility.

Can we stop spreading this garbage around without a reliable source please? This has been posted on a few subs I’m in and it seems false. I can’t find anything in terms of a reliable source either so unless you can provide concrete evidence this is happening, maybe don’t fear monger.

Removed. We get so tired of these rumor-y meta posts getting posted all the time. It just amps people up for no reason. We've been here seven years. For seven years they've been trying to shut us down. Yes, the mods pay attention to everything. Follow/bookmark us on Twitter and Spinster, if we ever got shutdown we'd communicate from there. But we've done everything the admins asked us to do and I don't see why they'd ban us out of the blue.

rpokefullofdopes🦡Terfflepuff🦡 · June 28, 2020, 6:38 p.m.

Oh cool beans. I was really scared for a bit: You rock mods! 💕 I didn’t know you guys were on twitter!? I’m going to follow you so hard.
