SRS is a subreddit called Shit Reddit Says. Their stated purpose is to highlight examples of bigotry on Reddit. The truth, however... is more interesting.

Everything started in 2007. Anonymous raided a feminist forum called WomensSpace. Why? A feminist on the site called BitingBeaver had found her young teenage son masturbating, and, according to her feminist ideology, this made him a rapist who deserved to die.

Anons (being mostly chronic masturbator NEETs) found this unacceptable and a small online war broke out against her, the website and pretty much every feminist blogger online.

This had an unforeseen consequence though. Some of these feminists were impressed by anon's show of strength and decided to hang around. They migrated to the Something Awful (SA) forums and became a goon clique (goons = SA users).

Something Awful is now mostly know for their EVE gaming clan (http://www.pcgamer.comJ2Ol2/04/28lnowhere-is-safe-in-eve-online-as-goonswarm-suicide-bombs-galactic-trade-hub/) but they used to be a real force. Many of the most impressive stunts performed by Anonymous were actually perpetrated by goons.

Goons had a much smaller userbase but they were more technically minded, they organised on the IRC networks and manipulated the vast swarms of /b/tards as shock troops when numbers where in need.

When they found Reddit they initially intended to do a similar thing with redditors, so they created the SRS subreddit as a hub. Insider goons claim that they intended ‘Shit Reddit Says’ to be a way of griefing Reddit users. This didn’t work out the way they expected because the majority of the goons who were convinced to join the new SRS group were the feminist/goon hybrids created in the BitingBeaver raids.

A few of the early members just used leftwing rhetoric to annoy ordinary Reddit users, but the number of SRS members who actually BELIEVED it outnumbered the trolls. Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company.

The new Reddit group established a name for itself by trolling people in a peculiar way. They would harass and attack ordinary users but then claim they had the moral high ground because they were ‘bullying the the bullies’. They do this by using cultural marxist arguments. They claim that prejudice is 'bigotry + power' and define power as 'being a straight, white male'. So even though what they are doing seems to be exactly the same as the bigots they say they hate it’s ‘OK’, because they are doing it to straight people, whites and males.

When forced into a corner they also fall back on the argument of satire. They claim they are just trolling and not attempting to be serious at all, it’s just a light hearted practical joke. Reddit users come from a different demographic than 4chan users, and this was their first experience at trolling, so lot of them wanted to join in and SRS snowballed in a big way. SRS at the moment has 79,658 members.

SRS vs /r/ainbow

Reddit has a large population of traps and gayfags, and most of them actively oppose SRS.

This is because SRS has managed to gain control of the LGBT subreddit. The way Reddit is set up means that mods have a great deal of power over their subs. They can ban users for no reason, delete posts and change forum rules. So when a SRS user got full mod status there by playing nice with the old mods, it was easy to take full control.

SRS used this power to enforce their ideology, which included a privilege pyramid of oppressed groups and a list of acceptable language. Anyone who disagreed was attacked for being ‘tools of the patriarchy’ leading to the flicked up situation of straight SRS members accusing gayfags of being homophobic misogynists and banning them from their own forum.

Most traps and gayfags left and set up a new forum called /r/ainbow.

SRS vs Male Rights Activists (MRAs)

MRAs are a loose collection of people dedicated to gender equality, therefore, unsurprisingly, feminists and SRS hate them.

The central concept of MRA’s is that society is not equal and in some areas (genital mutilation, education, health, reproductive rights, legal rights, social protection) men suffer a disadvantage.

This threatens feminism on 2 grounds. First because every step towards equality MRAs take is a privilege women lose, more importantly because it threatens the feminist world view that women are 2nd class citizens in a patriarchy. (In feminism any situation where women have an advantage over men is actually a sign of how women are the victims of benevolent sexism).

SRS set up a Reddit subgroup called ‘against men’s rights’ and proceeded to attack and brigade MRA’s from there. It also began to dox MRA websites outside Reddit.

The big attack came from an unexpected angle: a group called the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). This is an old school civil rights organisation which is used as an information source by law enforcement and the media.

The SPLC declared the male rights movement to be a hate group (basically wanting equal rights puts you at the same level as a KKK member). SRS actually managed to convince the SPLC to do this... unbelievable, yet true.

The SPLC later released a statement saying it was just a ‘warning’, but the damage was done.

SRS vs Iulzsec

Remember those guys? Yep. LuIz Security were/are a hacking group who became big in 2011. They were mostly griefers who enjoyed flicking with corporate websites but also indulged in some ‘hacktivism’ supporting wikileaks. A SRS member called Laurelai managed to work herself into the group. (I’m using the gender pronoun ‘she’ because it’s polite)

https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Laurelai

Once there Laurelai demanded that Iulzsec start attacking SRS’s own enemy list, and when lulzsec refused she tried to blackmail them, and when that didn’t work Laurelai told the FBI who they were and handed the feds Iulzsec chatlogs as evidence.

SRS vs Occupy Wall Street (OWS)

OWS was a protest against corruption in the financial industry and income/wealth inequality, or at least it started that way.

When the OWS movement was starting up SRS managed to infiltrate and gain control of the social media sites which the protesters used to organise. The control of these allowed SRS to push their own ideology onto the movement and ultimately destroy it. One of the things they introduced was 'the progressive stack', which is an organisational tool which discriminates against white straight men in favour of the people on the SRS privilege pyramid.

SRS’s attempts to control OWS and change it from a economic protest into a SRS style social justice movement made organisation impossible as any attempt to create coherent goals or leadership was ‘oppression’. The lack of leadership, combined with the active discrimination against men, made that OWS disintegrated.

SRS vs /pol/

SRS had then attempted to gain moderator status on /pol/, as is their modus operandi. They thought getting it would give them a platform to spread their ideology to the 4chan user base and enhance their reputation online, while at the same time destroying right-wing opposition. SRS has been shitposting on all boards across 4chan since December 2012, and have turned the whole site into a leftist hellhole.

On reddit

Since then they have slept and blackmailed their way into the mod-list of most big subreddit's on the site, and administration itself. They have been not only deleting entire subs that didn't break any of the website's rules, but also leading a campaign to dox mods of subreddits they dislike.
