How not to get banned from the Men’s Rights subreddit

[ismnotwasm]

I actually will suggest anybody who needs a trigger or graphic warning warning NOT to read the thumbnail. It's that bad.

Let’s say you wake up one morning and you decide, for some reason, that you’d like to make it your goal for the day to get yourself banned from the Men’s Rights subreddit.

If you’re a feminist, it’s not hard. I managed to get myself banned there some time ago and all I had to do was … well, I’m not exactly sure what it was I did. Actually, I’m pretty sure I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, Reddit-wise, other than argue with the regulars there. It’s possible I may have engaged in some light sarcasm. So maybe try that.

If, on the other hand, you hate women, all you have to do is … well, again, I’m not sure. Because earlier today, as one friend of Man Boobz pointed out on the Against Men’s Rights subreddit, a dislikeable fellow who calls himself sciencegod posted an elaborate, graphic torture fantasy to the Men’s Rights subreddit. I’m posting it below as a thumbnail; click to see it full size, but TRIGGER WARNING because it’s very graphic.

It got some downvotes, and the mods deleted the comment. But it didn’t occur to any of the mods, evidently, to actually ban this user from the Men’s Rights subreddit.

Because obviously anything he might ever have to say on the subject of Men’s Rights is much more worthwhile than anything I might ever have to say on the subject.

I asked the mods why they felt it necessary to ban me when they wouldn’t ban someone like sciencegod, and here’s the response I got back:

1. Could you imagine if a woman posted the equivalent of that?

Shades of Liz Salamander come to mind.

2. We'd hear about it for 50 years

This crap? Not as graphic or violent perhaps, but it happens every day on some site somewhere

3. What is it with some dudes and their obsessively violent fantasy lives?

I'd wager I've experienced just about every feeling they have - anger, aggression, sexual frustration - yet I've never thought to scapegoat an entire gender for my personal problems.
