'''Reddit''' is a highly addictive website for sharing and discussing links, photos and videos, but also textual content. It consists of countless of differently themed subforums that the users themselves can create and moderate. People can ''upvote'' or ''downvote'' links and comments to collectively decide what is shown near the top for about one day. Users receive worthless points (''karma'') according to the votes they receive. | '''Reddit''' is a highly addictive website for sharing and discussing links, photos and videos, but also textual content.

A downside of the karma system, as noted by many, is that it tends to result in group think by effectively censoring views divergent from the mainstream via downvoting. Redditors are conditioned to crave the upvotes, and can easiest achieve this by posting cats, "doggos", or talking in [[Numale|numale]] speech, parroting the latest mindless memes or by [[Virtue signaling|virtue signaling]].

Reddit hosted some of the largest incel forums, most of which have been memoryholed for bullying and harassing of some groups or individuals (well ''especially women'' as a "group"), which is of course ludicrous, and scary because men cannot really hate women. ''"Misogyny"'' is simply a necessary and egalitarian counterweight to the ''women-are-wonderful bias'' that is innate to our species, and slut-shaming a natural way of correcting women's natural [[whoring]]. Humans do not need autistic rules that limit their non-violent signals of behavioral correction. | |||
