View submission: Removing harassing subreddits
Why the FUCK is /r/Shitredditsays still around? Are you admins really saying that is NOT AN OFFENSIVE SUB? CAN I GET SOME OF THOSE DRUGS FROM YOU?

It's "not about being offensive" according to the admins. (sure)
allegedly the bans/removals are related to doxxing and harassment that goes on in the subs. (then why not other subs that do this **constantly?**)
I'm not saying the removals were justified/unjustified, as I've never even visited any of those subs so I can't really say whether or not they were.
NOW - was FPH removed because of rule violations, or simply because the higher-ups don't like it? I don't know, but the common consensus is that this was a thinly-veiled way to get rid of an offensive sub that could affect advertising revenue because of its popularity.
everyone asking "why not SRS, etc etc" .. well, it's pretty obvious that the reasons the admins posted here are a crock of shit, or else these other subs would have gotten the hammer as well.

Offensive? It's not about being offensive. This isn't a PC censorship thing. These subs were banned for driving and propagating hatred and nothing else. Reddit are just trimming their lawn every once in a while, that's all. They do have a site to run you know?

Because hating sexists isn't harassment would be my guess.
