Weird, this shouldn't be a banning offence, I'd message the mods (all of them) as this was an unfair assault on your character.

Me too. I had just recently stumbled into TrollXChromosome and made one sarcastic comment on a post disparaging myself. Later I was arguing with someone about sexism in my career in another sub and they said, "why should I listen to a feminazi who posts on TrollX?" Really?

Not for being childfree, but for commenting on fatpeoplehate. I was 200 lbs and I used the place as motivation and if they knew they had a fatty fatty mcfatfat amongst them, they would have banned me too. I made a comment on /r/OKCupid about how lucky I felt about finding someone despite being part of an unlucky demographics. Somebody dug up my comments and started commenting on my thread on how I was a disgusting piece of garbage who hates people. All of a sudden, the bans are raining on my head : offmychest, blackladies, skincareaddiction, okcupid, twoxchromosomes, etc. The dude must have alerted them.

I've never be banned anywhere for being childfree though. I always expect to be downvoted for it when I mention something about it, but it has never happened to me so far...

offmychest, blackladies, skincareaddiction, okcupid, twoxchromosomes, etc.

Damn, I thought they only banned if you posted in "offensive" subs aka KotakuInAction, TumblrInAction or ImGoingToHellForthis or something else don't like. I know me_irl does it too. I don't get the part at all - I'm a frequent user in a lot of "offensive" subs, especially KiA because I want free speech to be a thing and that people shouldn't be shamed shamed over being games - I'm a woman, I like playing games and I love having characters that seem to be a "sexy" version of me but as soon as I even post a pic of my stuff online I get horribly harassed because I'm "shaming women" and "enabling rape culture" etc. when all I did was post a character I love to play with.

But the point I'm trying to say, I don't get the point in banning based on someones history. I think it's just plain mod abuse. "I don't like you, you can get banned" it doesn't work that way IRL either and the fact that one can't say ones opinion nor even have the chance to tell their own story because they are banned before they can even say a word is just plain stupid. I post in childfree because I like the humor, I post in subreddit OffensiveX to say it isn't cringe, I post in subreddit OffensiveY correcting someone with facts. That doesn't mean I support that subreddit, it just means I found it through my bookmarks or /r/all and I started reading the comments. Just because I've made one post correcting someone in, let's say a very-borderline-shady-subreddit it doesn't mean I support what they are doing, even if the post was just "I don't support that" it still makes no sense. You can't judge a book by it's covers and definitely not a user by it's subreddits it has posted in.

It seems to be a trend to bash people who are childfree though, like they are the plague. Every time I browse no matter what subreddit and childfree is mentioned people just shit over it. "Oh i'm going to have kids just to spite them" or "they are insane people they should seek help" or "wow grow up you childhaters". uhh... Imagine being sensitive to bananas but daily exposed to them, day and night from every corner and place. By the end, you need some place to vent in. And if you mention it anywhere else they will bash your idea with "But you are X" or something else that makes you doubt yourself - I think childfree has been one of the best communities to support the decisions of other people and help them feel that their opinions matter. I don't see people logging on to parenting to post "but you should get an abortion" but I see people posting "I hope you get pregnant" here, so I just don't get what the point is. Why does people get so angry when someone else disagrees? I think like 90% of the violence would be solved that way, I respect the opinion of other people but I also keep my own grounds and unfortunately if someone gets mad at me for having a different opinion I have no idea what to say.

Oh, yeah man. I was banned from /r/naturalhair, /r/rape (as a rape victim!), /r/offmychest all because I posted in /r/kotakuinaction.

I got banned from a wide variety of feminist subs because I did my thesis on rape and sexual assault and discovered that women get raped far less than the numbers that are casually thrown about, while men are raped far more. The ratio is closer to 60/40. And that was enough to give every feminist sub out there a raging hate boner for me.

These subs all shared around a bot that would ban you from posting in their sub, if you posted in a "hate group" sub like FPH, KiA, etc. just before "the fattening." If you look at the mod names in these groups, you can find that often they share a few mods with eachother. There are a few "super mods" that moderate dozens of very active subs (IE -there is no way they could keep up with all of the traffic) and they control the content/ submitter base.

"Abestos rods."

[–]bitterbunnyball 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I thought epigentics was entirely speculative? I don't meant o sound snarky, I'm genuinely curious (I loved the course I did on genetics in my pre Uni prep course but went into podiatry instead because I can't count) are there any articles on it you'd suggest reading please?

[–]razumdarsayswhatthis one wants no baybees 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

From what I understand, Epigenetics is not speculative (though I only really learned about it in my biological anthropology course and then did a little poking around on it myself after). I believe it has been verified through lab experimentation, as it is something that has been (and still is) a developing field, though, that may change.

What I really liked was this NOVA documentary that goes into it, I found it fascinating. And this is a really good article on it from the NIH. If you want something a little less "science-y" this Discovery article might be good. :) And this is a sad but fascinating article on the epigenetic effect abuse has on future generations of children.

I was responding to the comic, which supposes that detergent caps are bad because they look like candy and kids eat them. To me, the obvious solution would be to keep them away from children, which was the same 60 years ago in the sense that parents had to lock up household chemicals, but deity forbid people have to lift a finger to keep their kids safe anymore? Seems somewhat pro-capitalistic to make corporations responsible for your child's safety.

[–]SecularNotLiberal26/F/"YES, I'M esSURE!" 34ポイント35ポイント  (9子コメント)

I agree with you. I believe a part of the anti-capitalist movement is taking personal responsibility for your actions. Demanding that companies change the looks of toxic chemicals so your kids don't eat them is not an example of taking responsibility. Lock them up.

Also, that comic is really stupid...Laundry pods are not the same as Keurig cups. The plastic of the pods dissolve in water during the wash cycle. There is no waste at all.

[–]Dusty_Old_Bones 8ポイント9ポイント  (4子コメント)

Except for the plastic being unnecessarily manufactured in the first place, anyway.

[–]SecularNotLiberal26/F/"YES, I'M esSURE!" 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

I think that's rather subjective. I use the pods (generic kind) and really like them because I always had a tendency to overpour or spill the regular detergent. My klutzy ass loves the pods.

[–]razumdarsayswhatthis one wants no baybees 10ポイント11ポイント  (2子コメント)

I love them because it keeps my husband from sliming my washing machine with detergent. And both of us used to use way too much of it. Now we spend much less on detergent every year. :D

[–]SecularNotLiberal26/F/"YES, I'M esSURE!" 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's been my experience too! I can't overuse when it's pre-measured! The pods (generic) are more expensive than the generic regular detergent but overall, I'm saving money!

[–]razumdarsayswhatthis one wants no baybees 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Same! :D We buy them at Sam's Club, and while we pay a little more than liquid detergent, we're overall using less so it's probably either a little savings or breaking even. Worth it!

[–]RaveynfyreF/Married - Cat Mom 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

The plastic of the pods dissolve in water during the wash cycle.

Actually they don't dissolve all of the way and are quite wearing on your appliances. They leave a bunch of thick residue behind and clog up the water lines (in clothing or dish washers). If you like your appliances you really shouldn't be using them in the first place.

My parents inadvertently destroyed the drain line on their dishwasher using those. It was clogged very, very badly with the residue.

[–]SecularNotLiberal26/F/"YES, I'M esSURE!" 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

I use a portable washer and frequently look at my line (because I have to connect/disconnect with each use, it goes up to the sink) as well as my washer and I've had no residue whatsoever in my years of use and I use the pods exclusively. My steel drum is completely clean and clothes come out great.

However, I do know that some people have had problems, with either their machine and/or their clothes. They find that the pods leave nasty residue behind and ruined their clothes. I have to wonder if water quality/minerals can affect how the pods break down and so, they may not work well for some. I think it's a real case by case basis. Also, not sure if brand matters as well but it may.

[–]RaveynfyreF/Married - Cat Mom 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

It could be that if the washer doesn't get to a high enough water temperature the residue doesn't break down enough to be flushed out completely. That was my guess when my parents told me about their issues with the pod system.

That sounds like a really unusual washing machine. Do you have a product link from a website that I can see it with?

[–]SecularNotLiberal26/F/"YES, I'M esSURE!" 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, that is possible.

Sure!

I've had this for 3+ years now and I love it. I used to live in a place with no laundry facilities. Now I do but it costs $2 to wash and $2 to dry so I just continue to use my portable washer and portable dryer.

It's a little small but I do small loads so not a big deal.

[–]Youreagoomba 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

My parents had a simple childproof device on all the cabinets and drawers with anything dangerous in them (plastic hook thing you needed to have the dexterity to push up to unlock).

This was done because: common sense. It's pretty ridiculous if today's parents can understand putting dangerous liquids away (I hope?? Or have they forgotten this too...?) but can't understand that dangerous chemicals are found in other sources and solid products.

[–]missflashheart 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

I've gotten rude responses for posts saying I'm Jewish when talking about politics or history in the past, typically by a few of 'those' atheists who believe I should fit a certain profile and my opinion is invalid for it, even if my opinion aligns more with theirs than their stereotype. A lot of people on this site do that, once I had a post screaming at me that I must be truly "self hating" because I post on /r/jewish and /r/childfree. Meanwhile, all I did was agree with them about a political point. The problem is that people don't think outside the box on the internet anymore, it's their way, or the world just short circuits and it's just anarchy.

I've never heard of someone attempting to float across the ocean on a makeshift raft made from garbage to escape the grasp of capitalism to embrace the arms of socialism. Capitalism is equal opportunity, not equal outcome. You can have anything you want, you just have to earn it. That's as fair as you'll ever find in an economic system.

I've never heard of someone attempting to float across the ocean on a makeshift raft made from garbage to escape the grasp of capitalism

Weeeeell lots of wars are motivated by capitalism.. And equal opportunity is a myth. Sadly. There's lots of people who work hard, full-time and have an education but started at such a disadvantage that they have a hard time making ends meet regardless.

Parent here... (Bring on the downvotes?) This actually brings up a story that I posted in a parenting subreddit:

My wife is a social worker. As such, she's got a legal, ethical, and professional obligation to report any suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to child protective services. This goes for anything. If she sees someone smack their kid at Wal*Mart, she phones it in. It can go for family (me included) and it can go for friends.

So I've got a buddy who I've known since High School. He's a bit arrogant and overly confident about everything he does. Lately, he's been on a big "Free Range Parenting" kick.

Now I'm all for letting kids discover the world for themselves and gaining experience, but he takes it to a bit of an extreme.

We have some mutual childfree friends who host the annual Super Bowl party. Their house is not kid proofed. Everyone was over for the party. My buddy's kid got into the cabinet under the kitchen sink and got into a container of dishwasher detergent pods; The ones that kids sometimes think are candy or toys but are a little squishy pouch of concentrated liquid. Same night the same kid poked his fingers into the host's sound system, bending up the cone of the speakers. And finally, same night, the kid got into the host's bedroom.

Everyone at the party is like, Watch your kid dude. The dad is like, nah, he's fine. He won't eat those detergent pods. He won't hurt anything in your bedroom. He didn't mean to damage your speakers... He's just a kid.

(As a side note, my kid is a year older than his. When I brought my kid up to this house on a prior occasion, I specifically asked if I could turn the speakers to face the wall so she wouldn't poke at them... I watched childfree couple's dog while they were on vacation. I spilled a soda on their dog's ratty bed and I bought them a brand new dog bed. I believe in replacing property that I, or my kids by extension, damage.)

This kid was recently admitted to the ER due to a serious cut on his hand. My buddy's story is that he was preparing dinner and the kid tried to grab the knife. His wife and the grandparents have said that the knife was left out and the kid grabbed it.

Finally, my buddy left his multi-tool out at a multi-family barbecue with lots of kids present. It musta fell out of his pocket and was on the couch. I handed it back to him, and he was like, just leave it on the coffee table, I'll get it later. You'd think he'd be more careful about bladed tools after his kid just had to go to the ER for a knife wound.

He's made public posts on facebook about letting his kid roam the yard (He lives on a large property.) and made mention of it as well when talking about how he gets stuff done... That was kinda the last straw for my wife and she had to call it in.

I don't think many people here will down vote you just for being a parent, not unless you start to bingo us.

This sort of thing makes me curl my toes; letting your kid explore is great, but kids need adult supervision because they're unaware of things that might be dangerous.

I'm glad my parent-friends are actual parents and understand my concerns; like if the kid comes over to my studio I have some toys and some pens and paper for him to play with, but he doesn't get to be there unsupervised because there's plenty of sharp, heavy things and chemicals he's not allowed to touch. I'd feel terrible if he got hurt or sick.

Also, it's really shitty of that guy to put your wife in that difficult position; I hope there wasn't any backlash from calling it in? Like, she'll have to for the kid's well being, but lots of people will get angry about that sort of thing anyway (while still claiming that children come before everything).

I can't believe you got banned for suggesting what should be common sense. That's bloody ridiculous.

Also, that mod is just one of the many reddit users who are quite ignorant about this sub and who just don't get it. We don't celebrate kids getting sick and dying from terrible parenting here. Assholes who do that can go fuck off and are promptly and permanently kicked out of the sub.

This place is a haven for those of us who face bullying for not having kids and who needs a little support, who want to complain about terrible parenting seen in the wild without getting bitched at by breeders, and a place to find doctors who will not try and change the minds of those who wish to seek sterilization (among other things).

This is a good place overall, and I'm one of the many who is very glad it's here.

Oh holy shit dude. This particular mod is cancer. The mod who banned you is the OP who made that post. I saw someone get banned for pretty much the exact same thing: they criticized an article that mod posted. It was some alarmist clickbait nonsense about how Trump is going to create monarchy in America.

They even followed up with a similar snarky comment that dug into their posting history. That person had posted in The_Donald, but only to call them out on their stupid bullshit. I guess all they do is 1) post shitty articles and 2) ban people who criticize them. What a dick.

I was one of the biggest names in #gamergate back during its hayday.

Man, it's funny how investigating the business practices of such (obviously female) indie people like Brandon Boyer, Phil Fish, Robin Arnott, Nathan Grayson, and Dylan Cuthbert made me such a misogynist.

I didn't know that being a woman investigating the shitty business practices of men made me a full blown hater of my own gender, just because on the ancillary of all of this, some of these dudes acted improfessionally and fucked a girl they were reporting on.

Funny how misogyny works ¯\ _(ツ) _/¯

[–]thermopyle_inthecrib 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well if the ethical transgressions you're talking about occured, and didn't result in massive harrassment against women it would be easier to throw my lot in with that crowd. But nobody banged anyone to promote a free text game about depression (people banged but the timeline of events proves there was no conflict of interest), and the harrassment did occur.

I don't think GG was populated only by misogynists, but they were undeniably present in GamerGate. I think it's unfortunate that the ethics folks stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the misogynists, and I also think it's unfair to call every single person in GG a misogynist. So it's shitty but that's how people think, if you're part of a group notorious for misogyny then people will paint you as part of that crowd. The better thing to do would have been to kick the misogynists out and resolve to explore CoIs without the hate.

BTW somewhere around a year before GG people were flooding ZQ's Greenlight page with sick, twisted comments. I know because I was reading the comments at the time. I know where GG comes from and it has nothing to do with ethics. The reason it's hard to exonerate innocent GG members is the same reason it's hard to exonerate good cops who cover for bad cops.

So the fact that you're still saying ZQ banged for reviewz even though it's objectively untrue makes it hard to feel bad for you. But I want to.

    OK, I'm going to be that person. I think there is something wrong with pods and their packaging.

    Before I get into it, I want to stress that I do think it is a parent's responsibility to keep things out of reach and teach their kids about bad things. I grew up with Mr. Yuk.

    The packaging and appearance of laundry detergent is so different now than it was 20 or 40 years ago. Laundry pods do look like sweets to children. Here is a good comparison pic of gummy sweets and a laundry pod. The pod really does look like a treat. Why does a laundry pod need to be colorful and designed like that? Why does it need to be so "fun"?

    Here is a pic of three powdered detergents and two liquid detergents. Yes, they are colorful, especially the liquid. But I don't think they are presented and move/act in a way that is identical to a treat. (The liquid is colorful like Kool-Aid, but it is thick.) The containers for these traditional detergents are not clear either, unlike how pods packaging was (I think all the brands have now switched to opaque containers recently though).

    Also, these more traditional detergents are messy. They are not easy to hold in a small hand. They do not feel like a solid treat. Powered detergent has a sandy, rough texture. Liquid detergent is slimy. A laundry pod feels like some sort of gummy or fruit gusher pouch/packet. It is marked with colors often used to show fruity or sweet flavors.

    Like I mentioned above, it is a parent's responsibility to create a safe environment for children by keeping things out of reach, it's their responsibility to teach children not to eat things like soap and cleaners. But we should also question the design and safety of products we use everyday. Cleaners should not be designed and packaged in a way that closely resembles food and/or treats. It is completely unnecessary and dangerous.

    And that's my 2 cents on it.
