The literal and advertised sole purpose of that reddit is to demean & mock & brigade statements they don't agree with. The entire subreddit is literally just a list of links to comments with a list of grievances.

Arguing that SRS isn't harassing because they don't field a substantial number of comments or downvotes is sort of like arguing the KKK isn't racist because they don't kill many people anymore.

In both cases, it's very clear what they stand for, and being on "good behavior" doesn't make me any more willing to be associated with you anymore.


And just for the record, there's an obvious disparity of degree between SRS and the KKK. It's an extreme analogy but an apt one so you can go pound sand if you don't like it.

Why in god's name would anyone complain about brigading without talking about BestOf? It's orders of magnitude bigger than anything like SRS, with a demonstrated tendency to carpet-bomb every thread that gets linked.

If your main complaint isn't BestOf, you're not concerned about brigading; you're just here with an axe to grind.

You can't say brigading is the advertised purpose when rule two is "ShitRedditSays is not a downvote brigade".

You can't say /r/candidfashionpolice is about underage girls because they say it's a fashion critique community!

You said advertised, though. The only people advertising that it's a downvote brigade are the people who talk about it negatively.

SRS glory days were long before admins had a policy on this behavior and basically was a test tube for them. If you want to make KKK comparisons that is your business, but the simple fact is that while the SRS of yesteryears would have been probably banned under current rules, the current SRS is just another sub I don't really like, but isn't really a problem.

The SRS paranoia is really odd. Someone will say something incredibly racist and get downvoted, and suddenly everyone's complaining about the SRS brigade. I wonder if they ever consider that maybe regular people just don't like seeing racist shit everywhere, and it doesn't take an SRS brigade to downvote it?

Oh, you don't like racist shit? You must be an SJW Tumblrina then! You should go somewhere else and hang out with your Trans helicopterkin! /s

Nice. Perfect example of a rage comic. When those got popular they really went down hill. This reminded me of how amazing they can be in the right context

[–]chimchang 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah dude, memes are the best.

[–]ScionoicS 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

You realize that a meme is just an idea which spreads right? I was only talking about rage comics. Not all ideas. Get on my level.

Yeah, reddit ruined rage comics. Just like this site ruins a lot of things.

[–]micmea1 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The internet killed rage comics. Rage comics and adviceanimals spread to every corner of the internet because the first few rounds of them were genuinely funny. A rule of the internet is that any good joke will be beaten to death because there are literally millions of people trying to jump on the joke bandwagon at a time.

Take an actual look at the front page of SRS. Almost none of it is "incredibly racist" or anything close. It's stupid off-color jokes or opinions they disagree with, like the guy who made a point about state-sanctioned history which disagreement with is illegal being bad in the context of holocaust denial.

[–]retinarow 20ポイント21ポイント  (0子コメント)

But then also look at the vote counts. They're usually still the same if not more, which kind of goes against the theory of vote brigading.

[–]vodkast 29ポイント30ポイント  (1子コメント)

Just taking a quick look, there's a comment about people of color having a "perpetual victim complex" and another where someone's angry that the media doesn't publicize black-on-white crime more. It may not be "incredibly" racist, but it's still racism.

[–]FarkCookies 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

If it is not outright racist it is loaded with very obvious agenda.

[–]Thin-White-Duke -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

People accuse others of being from SRS like what happened to people in the Red Scare. Someone accuses you of being from SRS? Downvoted to hell.

This is 100% spot on, plus your original comment. I am pretty sure no one who always brings up terrors of SRS in such threads ever witnessed anything maleficent from SRS. I got into argument with someone about it and decided to make a field survey and inspect most upvoted stuff on SRS. Guess what? It is not hitler's bunker. They mostly complain about outstanding racism and sexism, their community is not as big as of their "enemies", there are no significant traces of brigading (they even made a tool to monitor whether SRS brigades or not, there was a link somewhere, well no observable effects). SRS is total pure boogeyman, people always bring it up like they are some evil oppressors led by admins. For me this is example that majority of redditors are so tight in their thought bubbles that got totally out of touch with reality and just repeat stupid shit they heard somewhere.

Arguing that SRS isn't harassing because they don't field a substantial number of comments or downvotes is sort of like arguing the KKK isn't racist because they don't kill many people anymore.

Harassment is an action, racism is an idea. Talking about shit they find distasteful isn't harassment, especially since there is little evidence that they brigade or harass anyone anymore to any large degree. Sure, they can't control everyone in their sub, but they really don't encourage or endorse brigading and harassment.

No it isn't.

[–]jubbergun 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not only that, but when people say "SRS" these days they aren't talking about the sub itself, but the community that evolved from it that exists in SRS, SRD, and a handful of other subs. Sure the SRS subreddit isn't as active as it once was, but the people who gave it its reputation are still around and fomenting their hate and discontent in other places. We've all seen evidence of them, especially if you've been to TiA, KiA, or other "anti-SJW" subs and witnessed the 'phantom downvote' phenomenon where new and usually innocuous posts/comments that the communities in those subs would generally agree with get half a dozen or more downvotes right off the bat. Is SRS, the sub, still a thing? Maybe not, but SRS, the community, very much is.

This metaphor sucks ass. "Harassing" describes a state of action while "being racist" describes a state thought. Having racist thoughts isnt against the rules and it doesn't take killing someone to be racist. Killing people has little to do with indicating whether someone is racist or not, however fielding comments and downvotes is a direct measure and indicator of harassment.

I'm really surprised about how you came up with that metaphor. If you stuck to your metaphor, you would finish it by saying "arguing the KKK aren't murders because they don't kill many people" or "arguing the KKK isn't racist, because they don't say racist things that often".

In both cases, it's very clear what they stand for, and being on "good behavior" doesn't make me any more willing to be associated with you anymore.

But they aren't harassing by the mods definitions, and its been made clear that subreddits will not be banned for "what they stand for." Otherwise all the super racist, hategroup type subs would be gone as well.
