Basically, /r/RapingWomen will be banned, /r/CoonTown will be 'reclassified'

He didn't have a better example? The former is a ghost town.

Do majority of users take issue with that subreddit being banned? I hope not.

Sexism wins out over racism again. Reddit has a pretty clear agenda here to appeal to the political leanings of the groups they can benefit from (middle class white women) and ignore the political leanings of groups who would probably not use the site in high numbers (black people, who unfortunately correlate with lower class status/education). I'm sure reddit would be more than happy to ban coontown, but they're trying to appease the free-speechers by throwing them a bone, and it just happens to be the only bone that doesn't directly offend their middle class, college educated demographic.

What does it mean 'reclassified'?

One example for each is hardly enough. There are lots of subreddits that are nervous for being on the fringes of acceptability. It really needs to be expanded upon further.

But /r/RapingWomen is a satire sub... Has anyone actually ever read a few posts there? Probably 95% of that place is tongue in cheek

Dear god, I didn't even know that was a Subreddit - that link shall remain blue.
