It's just a dog whistle to mean "straight white men".

Right, exactly. Hence why they banned r/againstwomensrights but not r/againstmensrights, even though the first is a satirical response to the second, and even though men are the minority of the population
And in their content policy they say that what wouldn't be allowed is a
Comment arguing that rape of women should be acceptable and not a crime.
Which the most stupid example that they could give, given that anytime anyone downplays rape or argues that it's acceptable and shouldn't be a crime, they're pretty much always arguing about the rape of men
E.g. men being raped in prison, boys being raped by women, etc. is like the only time people find the Especially Heinous crime of rape suddenly funny. When it comes to the marginalization of rape, it's males in particular who need protection from it
They could have just as well said
Comment arguing that rape should be acceptable and not a crime.
But no, they had to make an exception specifically to allow attacks on male victims to not be banned

The same people who will tell you that Spez can't be bigoted against white men because he's a white man will tell you in the next breath that Kanye is a self-hating black man and suffers from internalized racism.
There's no consistency. The elites don't play by their own rules.

It should be obvious to anyone at this point that this website is actually endorsing racism. Like holy shit they're not even trying to hide it. They're saying that discriminating against a "majority" (wtf does that even mean) is okay.
This is disgusting.

Are people really falling for this “white genocide” propaganda? u/likelytobebanned is active in
r/MGTOW
r/consumeproduct
r/watchredditdie
If you find yourself having the same insecurities as him you need to re-evaluate. As another straight white man yes the content policy wording is not good.
Also — racism against whites is not at a very high level. The steps forward here outweigh the poor wording so much. Hopefully it’ll be changed soon. If not, well there’s white privilege.
There aren’t many people more privileged than today’s white technology suits. The suits at Reddit are not trying to spark some anti-white agenda people!
Alt right people like u/likelytobebanned have made them a lot of money though. Moving away from that is **good** whether it’s because their hand was finally forced or genuine good will is semantics; just like the admittedly bad wording is.
Don’t fall for these alt-right people right when they’ve been pushed back.

This in itself is a dog whistle to conservatives...
