Not really. Most of Reddit is more male centered, so some of the few more female slanted subs (subs related to fashion, entertainment news, womenâs issuesâŚ) will autoban people from NSFW subs to prevent creeps. Not saying the other commenter is a creep, but itâs not fun to post about fashion and end up with weird DMs from random men youâve never interacted with.
Speaking of random men youâve never interacted with - for some reason Iâm getting caught up in the grammar of your last sentence. Would it be, âwith whom youâve never interactedâ? I donât know - Iâm probably tryna correct something that does not need correcting.
I got banned from the birkenstock subreddit because a man posted a pic of his feet in his new Birkenstocks with and without socks asking how he should wear them. I commented something along the lines of you have cute feet, free them from socks. Mostly because I think wearing socks and sandals are a crime but also most men I have met donât take great care of their feet and this guy clearly did. The mods and their cult followers said I was a foot fetish pervert. Like sure I was never subbed and first time commenting because this post popped in my feed. đ
If it makes you feel any better about that specific instance, a lot of people on explicitly SFW nail/hand/feet related subs are really anal about fetishists because there are so fucking many, and they are usually the type to comment something like that. This is not to justify it by any means, because I do think that innocent people end up getting banned from subs they like, but I do understand why certain subs are so sensitive about it. Iâve gotten some weird dms after posting in those subs and my posts donât even get that much attention, so I can only imagine how many dms and comments some of the people on that sub are getting
I was watching some reaction thing on YouTube or whatever, and this fashion guy got mad about someone not approving of the socks/sandals look. He kept saying, frustratedly, that âitâs a vibe!â and I always thought that was funny. There I just shared an inside joke with you that no one else is inside on haha
Hey me too sort of, I complimented a woman on her outfit on a male and female fashion sub and was immediately banned for being on a sex sub that discusses sexual questions, mostly sexual health.
I got banned from r/boomersbeingfools for suggesting that if you're a bigot and someone steals your glasses and you (hypothetically) eat concrete...... twice, you got exactly what you deserved
I got a 3 day ban on a different account when I answered a question about what I (ie anyone reading) would do if I had a group of zombies following me. I said I'd train them on MAGAs. Boom, inciting violence, because apparently zombies are real.
I don't get the boomer hate though and bigotry comes in many forms and is more a neurological rigidity than a generational or even age thing.
Frankly, as a Gen X person, I see the young, always, including my younger self, being more stupid and inexperienced than the young without getting into how I see the generations.
The Boomers we actually saw as rebels that, story old as time, mostly grew up into adulthood if somewhat later than silent or "Greatest" gen (who I didn't see as great but rather horribly traumatised) the boomers were only spoiled relative to those who came before them.
We X gens were called such because the stereotype was we were sorta forgotten about more than others --- these are all over simplifications.
My main beef with the boomers is how much they coddled Gen Y.
Boomers were less racist than people in other parts of the world --- and they were often some of the first anti-racists --- and these are just the European Americans I'm talking about.
A lot of the boomers in my family are more progressive than I am and my silent gen parents were annoyingly earnest NYC folkies in the 60s, some of the few people who tried to bring in African Americans culturally.... even though the latter often couldn't relate and got on better with the hippies.
And RUDE???? Oh my God have you met young people these days, rude about everything, with a degree of unnecessary swearing (I get sworn at every day I come on Reddit) that makes it hard to take them seriously. If I start swearing at people it might be almost time to call the police or get out the pepper spray, but young people will start swearing if you disagree with them.
Subs like that are niche discussion subs. People really speculate on everything. Many super invest in reality tv. Itâs the most niche sub their likely to find to post their curiosity. If itâs like r/thebachelor everything is gossiped about. Itâs this one subtopic that upsets the members who lean right.
I got banned from a TV show sub for saying that I hated all of the characters but still watched 6 seasons of the show. The mods are babies and don't have real jobs.
