I know this community has been pretty dead since it was created but I figure there's probably some lurkers. Whenever I comment on reddit, particularly on a default sub, I always feel the need to adjust the wording to make my gender ambiguous. Obviously you guys are all most likely aware that casually mentioning that you're a women can and does completely change the response you receive on a post or comment. There's been times where someone asks my gender, I respond saying "I'm a woman" , and I literally receive half a dozen downvotes on that comment. Like I wonder if it's a bunch of immature teenage boys who have hitched a ride on the anti-sjw train or weather it's fully grown ass men who just find the existence of women on the internet to be a nuisance.
This has kinda turned into a rant but I suppose I'm especially aware of it now bc I have noticed posting here feels different, I don't feel the need to watch what I saw and be overly ambiguous about my gender just to avoid potentially nasty comments. Has reddit really always been that bad?
Me too. I just didn’t want to post all my leftists beliefs on a site that protects people who I know wanted to kill me and plus whenever I would go into post usually multiple users had already responded with what I would have replied.
Yeah, I am careful to never indicate my location on the same account where I discuss political beliefs bc I live in chudville and am worried about how knowledge of my political opinions could affect my employment
don't talk politics without a VPN or TOR.
because its totally the left that suppresses free speech, which is why we need the same tech people use to buy drugs online and download kiddie porn to just say the shit we think.
