This drama mostly takes place silently, but it's my favorite when Reddit downvotes facts they seem to not approve of.
So Sweden opened a male rape center. A user posts about it to its "woman-centric" sub, with a headline asking "is this a good thing?" As if they expect some kind of pushback from women.
No one takes the bait. Everyone on TwoXChromosome says "this is awesome" and "why are you even asking if this is good?" with a few "how is this about women, exactly?"
The rape center is identified as the first of its kind in the world, so everyone sort of pats themselves on the back about how awesome it is that this problem is finally being recognized and taken seriously.
Then, a lone user points out that this is not the first rape center for men at all.
The response: silent downvotes. Apparently, Reddit doesn't like this fact. No one disputes it, because it's certainly true, but the judging from the downvotes, Reddit would rather it not be.

Along with asking "why are you downvoting me?" the user posts links to resources for male rape victims:

This is met with more silent downvotes and no explanation.
I won't offer any commentary on why reddit hates this particular fact. I mean, what could could possibly be behind downvoting facts? It is a mystery that we may never unravel.
