  • Sorry, I think there’s a bit of miscommunication here. I’m one of the people who made that comment and I meant community in the people sense, and not in the subreddit sense. They can take their subreddit and move it, shred it, burn it, paint it blue, whatever. The point is, they seem to think of the people using the space as something that belongs to them, and that they can just take those people wherever they please. In reality, they have to rely on people following them, they can’t just pack them up and move them, and it’s very apparent that it’s a very unpopular decision and clear that no one is going to follow them to world.

    I’m just upset at the arrogance of them pretending they’re doing this for the good of the users when they asked no one. What makes a community great is the people in it, not the people “running” it (using the term loosely, as them actually having to do things is the reason they wanted to move). If they didn’t like it, they could’ve just passed it off to other people, but instead decided to try to pack us into a suitcase and leave.


  • I went to a board game convention a month ago, it was the first time I’ve girlmoded for something major. They put their own signs over the bathroom signs explaining that both were gender neutral and the only difference was urinals vs stalls. That made it soooo much easier on me and I was very glad


  • Super socially awkward and anxious in middle school and high school and was also bullied a ton. Girls would ask me out as a joke, and there’s no good response. If you say yes you’re a dumbass for thinking they’re actually interested in you, if you say no you’re gay and should kill yourself. Combined with being an impressionable teen with incredibly negative self esteem on reddit at a time where something along the lines of all men are rapists was a common sentiment, it really honestly fucked me up. I still am not comfortable with romance and intimacy with women to be honest.
