Because the admins directly and clearly support SRS. It's why the narrative of gamergate was "omg fat neckbeard foreveralones are ascaredy of wimminz in their technologies!" on reddit. We had to have a maligned subreddit, without any ability to link within reddit, to have an honest discussion.
When they talk about "better moderation tools," all I hear is "more ways to quietly and swiftly squash dissent"

Other meta-reddit subs have to use np links. Why does SRS get away with being able to post direct links with obvious brigading?
Why post bullshit? /r/DepthHub is basically a fancier /r/bestof with over 200,000 subscribers and they've *never* required np. links.

That was the narrative of GamerGate across the entire Internet. You can't blame Reddit for that.

You are saying that because the admins supposedly support SRS gamergate got a bad rep? How does that logic flow?

Do you really not consider it a possibility that the gamergate crowd was just wrong - and that that is why they were characterized that way?
I mean, I don't want to argue whether or not they were, but surely that is a possibility, right?

Or, you know, SRS is a small and largely defunct subreddit who's basically operating as a boogeyman for the rest of reddit to use as an example?
KiA has a lot of incredibly bitter and angry users who are just as self-righteous as SRS in their behavior, but they're a considerably larger and more active sub.

Nah the narrative was that way because that's what gamergate was.
