You guys are cool with leaving up subs like /r/rapingwomen to preserve free speech?
Fuck you

That fucking link is staying blue.
What the fuck. What the actual fuck.
I've been voicing my opinion about how I feel everyone is over-reacting about this and they are just trying to protect the site... but you saying that's a real sub makes me feel really uncomfortable in talking anymore about it.
Jesus fucking christ.

Of course they'll argue that, while distasteful, the sub isn't illegal or encouraging illegal behavior. Except for, you know, that it is. People do crazy and awful things for attention and if you give them a place like that where rape is glorified, the message clearly becomes "do this thing, post about it and get attention!" A winking "we're not really SUPPOSED to do this," isn't going to deter anyone. The sub isn't a place for raped women to gather to talk about their pain. It isn't a place where people talk about how to stop rape, prevent it, catch rapists or teach self defense. It specifically glorifies it as a fun and enjoyable thing. It doesn't HAVE to explicitly say "you should try this!" for that to be the message and take-away.

Oh yeah, they don't have the lawyers, so reddit doesn't care about women who are raped. Logical, right?

god, i'm subscribed to i'mgoingtohellforthis, i laugh at racism jokes, 9/11 jokes and whatnot, as long as there's a good catch, but seeing that such a subreddit exists and that the stickied post is literally explaining why rape is good and that all women actually want it made me feel sick.

I glanced for 2-3 seconds at the main page then closed it. Is it a group of people making comedic comments or is it actually people seriously wanting rape to happen? If it's comedic comments then it seems like it's no different than stand-up comedy and the kind of people who are outraged at rape jokes. But if it's serious people who condone rape, ignore this. Just don't downvote me and not reply. Thanks.

If you don't like it, don't visit it.
If it's not illegal, then maybe that's the problem and not the subreddit itself?

And a wholehearted FU from me to. That is one sick subreddit that should be deleted ASAP.

Omg, if you love any women in this world, don't look at this sub or any of the ones linked in their sidebar...

The irony in your two gildings is that they've given money to those that are causing the problem. We just can't vote with our feet.
Reddit is great as a community engine, to spawn new places for people to talk. The problem is when we see manipulation like in The Adjustment Bureau, invisible hands fucking with things, and most people think it's ok, but it's odd. Or Dark City. Whatever, this is getting fucked.

Why should they not leave those open?
Is it illegal? Doubtful
Is it causing huge problems for the admins (legal issues, traffic, spamming)? Probably not
So why shouldn't it remain? Reddit is a platform for people to form communities and talk. If they want to support freedom of speech at all, they should interfere as little as possible.
Obviously they have to enforce laws of the country they are based in, but they should definitely stay away from trying to be moral police.

Reddit lets profanity on this website in the name of free speech? How abominable. Reddit should censor all profanity.

Just because we don't agree with something does not mean that we should censor it. While /r/rapingwomen is a horrendous sub are we really pro-banning it?

Not sure how to feel about your comment. Not sure whether to ask how you know about this or why you're being so contradictory of the point of your comment in relation to the topic.
