for example
/r/TwoXChromosomes/
/r/TrollYChromosome/
/r/OneY/
/r/TrollXChromosomes/
Last time I checked, 2X is surprisingly not transphobic, it was just named by a nerd.
2X was for a time flooded with "not all men" concern trolling dudebros, too.

flooded with “not all men” concern trolling dudebros
You've got some redundancies in there sir
like any internet space that has women in it
must once again state that men are shit just to trigger that one random guy that has a hate boner over me here :shrug-outta-hecks:
Ever since the "female dating strategy" subreddit went private 2X has taken a turn for the worse in terms of transphobia
Though that was months ago, haven't used Reddit for a while so it could be different now
2X is also regularly raided so it's hard to tell how much of the transphobia are even women
I'm shadowbanned from every major subreddit for "abusing reports" because I kept reporting racist comments. It's what got me to stop using that shitty website
I also got shadowbanned on another account because I copy pasted comments I had written in a notes app and Reddit thought I was a bot lmao.
Meanwhile the website is full of actual bots.
Reddit used to hand out shadowbans a lot for basically every infraction. At one point a few years ago they put out a statement saying that admins would generally no longer hand out shadowbans for things other than spam (which was the intended purpose of a shadowban, to avoid alerting spammers that their spambots were banned)
This is completely different from the "unofficial" shadowban that subreddit moderators can do with automod, where they simply have every comment by a user held in the spam filter indefinitely.
i know fds is awful and transphobic but i love watching men get so salty over it for the wrong reasons
2X goes on a cycle, sometimes it's just filled to the brim with men Well Actually-ing about every topic, including trans people.
Then somtimes it's only half full with men Well Actually-ing about every topic, including trans people.
That's when I left the sub. The mods didn't even consult the subscribers, iirc, just immediately accepted default status as an opportunity to mod a sub that would blow up without having to do anything.
It definitely started with TwoX, I bet all the the normal names for a pro-woman sub were already taken by people looking for pornography
Like, if youre looking to talk about being a gay girl, you need to go to /r/actuallesbians because /r/lesbians is a porn page primarily visited by men
It used to be lolepic to define being a girl through biological terms, in a I Fucking Love Science kind of way, I was a lot younger then but I don't think it was purposely transphobic
Hate to say it but lurking in /r/actuallesbians helped me realize I was trans. :shrug-outta-hecks:
I remember feeling so bad that I was browsing that subreddit because it would be creepy as fuck for a cishet dude to encroach on a space only for lesbians. Turns out I am a lesbian so all is well.
Yep, same thought process. Felt very guilty about lurking but also very confused that I was insanely jealous of all these lesbians just living their lives as lesbians. Now it's just one of those 10,000 little things that make a lot more sense.
:trans-uno:
Most subs are named based on being "witty" by nerds. "aww" "kidsarefuckingstupid" "trees" "me_irl" etc. No more thought was put into it
/r/nextfuckinglevel is a head on collision course between sweaty chudbrain cringe and bazinga nerd cringe.
It's been like....10 years? I was able to adjust to "selfie", "af", "lit", and a bunch of other zoomer/young millennial buzzwords
yet "earthporn" is still fucking cringe
everything's porn, except the actual porn subs. i bet some bazinga brain made r/pornporn at some point and there's no actual porn on it, but only hyper-aestheticized pics of staff at porn sets, people playing sleazy saxophone licks, buckets of fake cum etc.
i hate the earthporn foodporn etc and i also don't like actual porn but fuck thats actually pretty funny
As transphobic as :reddit-logo: is, that sub's name probably has nothing to do with transphobia, although it is coincidentally an instance of it. The sub formed in 2009/2010, during which time pretty much everybody was in the dark with regards to gender identity.
Marginalized group wants a space where they're not drowned out by the default group; default group feels like they're being left out create similar community despite making no sense.
Same thing with reddit segregating twitter screenshots.
50% of r/WhitePeopleTwitter is just tweets by Asians, Arabs, light skinned black people, and anonymous accounts with no indication of race lol
I think that subreddit just gets the tweets that feel white, even if that makes no sense at all.
accidentally telling on themselves that they think of everything as whites unless specified otherwise, and don't even realize that this is a problem, but instead revel in it
because the cis are unfortunately at it again
though twox is generally trans positive, the sus name doesnt help at all
many subreddit names are variations of the names of larger subreddit names.
