>>39556170I meeaaaan maybe it's a bit overboard to outright ban people for so much as using the wrong subreddits
like there are plenty of trans women who like forcefem stuff. "Boyremoval" came from here, and we used to talk about stuff like sisters of dorley all the time when it was popular. but for some reason we don't have an epidemic of "euphoria boner" posters, or fetishistic 50 year old crossdressers, despite not having accounts and having no way of stopping anyone from lying about who they are in any way.
reddit is a terrible website for a lot of reasons, but in this case maybe it's just the popularity that means that reddit will always be the lowest hanging fruit for this stuff. Or maybe it's because a culture of total acceptance, of absolutely everyone being "valid" means that your community will end up being full of the exact sort of people who would be bullied out of any community that doesn't practice total indiscriminate acceptance.
this is essentially an extension of the paradox of tolerance, where being infinitely tolerant results in a culture full of the worst people. It's similar to how when you have boards that practice infinite freedom of speech like /pol/ you end up with a userbase that promotes only the sorts of beliefs that can't be promoted elsewhere, while decent posters leave, as how sartre would say that the adversary of the antisemite is obliged to use words responsibly, while the shitposter can spam conspiracy theories all day with no effort.
so in the same way that it takes much more effort to disprove lies than it does to make them, the fetishistic crossdresser can make euphoria boner posts much faster than good quality users can make good quality posts.
