I sort of despise reddit I'm not really sorry they're getting some bad publicity for these boards they haven't closed. Would it really inconvenience them so much to just remove these weird boards?

It's obviously not about convenience...

The boards in question walk a fine line between legality and illegality. When CP does pop up, Reddit always removes it. When something questionable comes up, they just don't automatically take it down, and thats what everyone is all hooha about.

Has anyone watched the CNN clip?
"Needless to say, these are not their real names, not even IamAnonymousCoward".
Really, Mr. Cooper? Can you simplify it more for me, please? I don't feel patronized enough.

The other clip is pretty spot on, in that that people don't understand how Reddit works.
Whoever created a sub-reddit is its owner and can do with it whatever the hell he wants. Reddit is truly a free speech site.

As far as creeps, voyeurs etc. are concerned, I would never go into those forums - you don't seriously think police is ignoring them and letting mass of easy busts go to waste? Hell, some of those might even be started by the FBI, to attract perverts. Like moths to the flame...
How I appear to you is a reflection of you, not me.

Oh, I figured it out. I discovered this article which said something that I felt before: /r/srs is supposed to be deliberately abusive and mocking towards white males. If they become a target then it can make people think about how minorities are less privileged constantly having to put up with such things.

It sounds like a bad excuse for being hateful to me though.

While I do agree that a lot of the subreddits on there are messed up, this one is pretty funny:

A subreddit called "seduction" devoted to teaching men how to rape women


Here is the link for that subreddit. Tell me, is that about rape? Seriously, look at the subreddit and tell me that with a straight face.

On a related note, fuck SRS. While I mildly hope CP subreddits get banned, I'd much prefer SRS get banned. Now THAT is a disgusting subreddit.

So you mildly disagree with abusing children sexually but dildo jokes disgust you?
+ Show Spoiler +
I'm assuming it must be the dildo jokes because i cant imagine calling out bigotry to be disgusting


Nope, I disagree strongly with abusing children sexually, but only mildly with CP.

And I find them disgusting human beings. Pretty much every aspect of that /r/ is something I hate.

Okay so you only mildly disagree with pictures of naked minors but you hate people pointing out racism sexism and homophobia?
EDIT: and so you learn something today ill let you know that child pornography is abusing children sexually.

No apparently child pornography means teenage girls with their clothes on that people use as pornography. Those sickos.

so your defending people that jerk off to children / minors?


Jerking off to children and minors(minors implying 16-17 with regards to jailbait) are two completely different things, and pornography and pictures of 16 + year olds (age of consent in most places) are not equatable.

I have trouble understanding why you might find that so hard to understand.

Reddit is big, very big. So yes there are some weird subreddits here and there. But posting pictures of teenagers (with clothes!) is not pornography. If you jerk off to it, well, it s weird, but it's not illegal.

Reddit also have a lot of regular users, and a lot of interesting content. It s like someone else said here before me, you could say "i m against using the internet because there is child porn on it".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dost_test

It's illegal in the United States to possess photos of young teenagers in sexually suggestive positions even with clothes, and if you get charged with violating child pornography laws, jacking off to clothed teens is going to be pretty damning evidence.

I love how every thread in the general section on TL seems to have at least 5 people bitching at each other about "straw men". People go to community college and suddenly they think they're experts at debating.



You're right. This thread seems to have degraded to a mass debate.

What's amazing is that CNN must have actually thought they are changing the world with their journalism. I suppose they've realized that Anderson Cooper doesn't even hold enough weight to clean up reddit. This kind of news seems like it gets people's feathers a bit ruffled and accomplishes nothing.


Mostly it will result in overly protective parents to ban Reddit from sites allowed on. I hardly see an FBI investigation of Reddit, i mean if 4chan is still up Reddit is pretty damn safe.

The president visited the site and did an AMA is Anderson Cooper now going to say "Well it looks like Obama supports a CP site"

It's a broad means of communication between people and some people are bad. Saying I don't like using the sc2 reddit because of jailbait reddits is like saying I don't like playing computer games online because the internet has child porn on it. They're not endorsing it or encouraging it, the people who are posting about it do that. Go after the people, not the medium. It's probably helpful that they're all posting about it online anyway given the difficulty of staying anonymous on the internet these days.


You don't think the admins have a responsibility to maintain order? In much the same way TL maintains order here? I guess you could say that TL maintains "order" moreso to keep posts of higher quality whereas Reddit doesn't necessarily care. But I was just curious, how far that could be taken.

That is an interesting point though. Your last two sentences. I didn't think about that before.

I understand where you are coming from. The posters in SRS certainly have their collection of "inside jokes" including slang and memes such as "freezed peaches"(slang for free speech which many people hide behind as justification for their bigotry) semen robbing turkey basters, and dildos which is a satire on the weapon one would assume an extreme feminist would wield. Its VERY VERY satirical(very very very) and not targeted towards recruiting or appeasing anyone. hell its called shit reddit says its obviously not trying to get reddit to like it.

Navigating to it now with no context would probably look like a lot of angry women hating white males. The comments are mostly their own brand of dildo wielding vagina laser shooting humor. But you only need to read the front page to understand what its actually about.

  • "Oprah is not a philanthropist. She just does it for publicity."[+380]


That's obviously cherry picked to prove my point but its true that as i write this those are all the title of threads on the front page. We can see they only target upvoted bigots. Not even downvoted bigots. It would be difficult to go into a thread in r/gaming titled something like "all women are attention whores" and argue against it without being lynched. SRS is a safe place for like minded people to make jokes about bashing the author of that thread to death with their dildos. Its not so much an excuse for being hateful. Its more a place to rage in a satirical manner which would put the comment into perspective (if the poster ever read it)

But its not just about womens rights. Its not an extremist feminist movement (although that's one of the funniest jokes). Its just as much about racism and LGBT rights as it is about womens rights. I have never posted there but I sure did learn and laugh a lot reading through it every day. I laugh A LOT.

In a place where people think there is nothing wrong with taking upskirt down blouse pictures of strangers in highschools and putting them on the internet (which actually made friends of mine so scared they never wore a skirt to school again (obviously infringing on peoples rights)) a certain niche of satirical people would like to joke about how the perps penis is more important than feeling safe in your school and how strait white males are more oppressed than everyone else.

But its definitely not for everybody even well educated feminists could find it abrasive. But they don't give a fuck what you think and if you disagree then stay out or get benned by a big picture of a bunch of dildos spelling it out. They are under constant attack and they're constantly viewed under shade. They are not the face of feminism nor the poster for equal rights. They are reddit users with crude humour who hate on people whoes archaic opinions are upvoted a lot. And I personally find the majority of them hillarious.

They only appreciate freedom of speech when it suits them. I tried to give them a chance and check out what they were all about. All I saw was rampant hypocrisy and people quoting "Shakesville" as if it was an authoritative academic source.

Edit: I even saw posts from people that used to be SRS regulars talking about how insane it has become.

SRS is a safe place for like minded people to make jokes about bashing the author of that thread to death with their dildos. Its not so much an excuse for being hateful. Its more a place to rage in a satirical manner which would put the comment into perspective (if the poster ever read it)

But its not just about womens rights. Its not an extremist feminist movement (although that's one of the funniest jokes). Its just as much about racism and LGBT rights as it is about womens rights. I have never posted there but I sure did learn and laugh a lot reading through it every day. I laugh A LOT.

In a place where people think there is nothing wrong with taking upskirt down blouse pictures of strangers in highschools and putting them on the internet (which actually made friends of mine so scared they never wore a skirt to school again (obviously infringing on peoples rights)) a certain niche of satirical people would like to joke about how the perps penis is more important than feeling safe in your school and how strait white males are more oppressed than everyone else.

But its definitely not for everybody even well educated feminists could find it abrasive. But they don't give a fuck what you think and if you disagree then stay out or get benned by a big picture of a bunch of dildos spelling it out. They are under constant attack and they're constantly viewed under shade. They are not the face of feminism nor the poster for equal rights. They are reddit users with crude humour who hate on people whoes archaic opinions are upvoted a lot. And I personally find the majority of them hillarious.


Come on, SRS are free to do anything they want and no one would care much about their bigotry and extremist views, as long as freedom of speech exists.


They only appreciate freedom of speech when it suits them. I tried to give them a chance and check out what they were all about. All I saw was rampant hypocrisy and people quoting "Shakesville" as if it was an authoritative academic source.

Edit: I even saw posts from people that used to be SRS regulars talking about how insane it has become.


Looks like I should have added irony tag to my previous post.

Okay, I just visited /r/srs for the first time and what is up with those people? They are all so angry and have so many weird rules, phrases, memes they use. Who are they?

Oh, I figured it out. I discovered this article which said something that I felt before: /r/srs is supposed to be deliberately abusive and mocking towards white males. If they become a target then it can make people think about how minorities are less privileged constantly having to put up with such things.

It sounds like a bad excuse for being hateful to me though.

I understand where you are coming from. The posters in SRS certainly have their collection of "inside jokes" including slang and memes such as "freezed peaches"(slang for free speech which many people hide behind as justification for their bigotry) semen robbing turkey basters, and dildos which is a satire on the weapon one would assume an extreme feminist would wield. Its VERY VERY satirical(very very very) and not targeted towards recruiting or appeasing anyone. hell its called shit reddit says its obviously not trying to get reddit to like it.

Navigating to it now with no context would probably look like a lot of angry women hating white males. The comments are mostly their own brand of dildo wielding vagina laser shooting humor. But you only need to read the front page to understand what its actually about.

I read your post as being sarcastic. I'm sorry if I misunderstood it. It's been a long night, haha.

I love how every thread in the general section on TL seems to have at least 5 people bitching at each other about "straw men". People go to community college and suddenly they think they're experts at debating.


I'm not in philosophy(or anything related remotely). However, that is what the logical fallacy is called. And I'm just not going to respond to people who can't use logically sound arguments. I was hoping it would look up the fallacy, understand what it means, correct it, and come up with a proper argument. Clearly that's not going to happen.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

What?
That's not freedom of speech, that's distributing the product of maybe the sickest and most vile industry on the planet.

Please put more consideration into such extreme statements, I'm sure you didn't mean it like that, since you condemn the producers and consumers.


How do I condemn the producers If I said they should be seriously taken care of ? By posting material, I didn't say "produce" material. If I post a picture of the holocaust does it make me a nazi ? You need to "kill" the producting entity, not the consumer.

I said 1. freedom of speech 2. imprison the guys who BENEFIT from this/hurt children 3. messed up people will be messed up people, unless they don't hurt anyone and don't BUY ( as in SUPPORT THE CHILD PORNOGRPAHY INDUSTRY ) but download for free, let them alone.

You know how this lack of freedom of speech begins right ? We don't like nazis, let's ban nazi symbols. That's still "abusing" power because if you say no to this you can say no to other non-popular things.

One guy flame me and said I should die in fire for advocating freedom of information. You shouldn't ever watch the TV or read a book or stay on the internet. That same guy will fight for the system who basically enslaves him - why ? Well it's profitable, no need for some nefarius conspiracy. Say hello to slavery in 2012 when you look at the private prison industry.

And if solo girls who post themselves videos or picture of themselves nude or doing whatever can be called child
pornography... Wow, just wow. That's called stupidity first of all. You know that the sick guy who will watch that is less likely to go and rape a young girl ? Or should we ignore the studies that connected porn with less rape ?

We have kinks in us, and we supress them, thus there is rape and all those weird fetishes.


One more "clishee" "brain-wash" reply with why I am wrong without comming with strong facts and I won't EVER post on anything in TL other than SC2/BW/DOTA2 related.
Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
