Gender issues come up very rarely in xkcd, so my mod actions won't really have anything to do with my feminist beliefs. Speaking hypothetically, if Randall were ever to post a comic that I found offensive or disagreed with, I'd just say that I found it problematic. Deleting the post on /r/xkcd would be an abuse of power, and it'd be pointless, since it's still visible on xkcd.com. The *only* mod action I could ever see myself doing that would be motivated by my feminist beliefs would be removing blatantly racist or sexist comments, or telling people to edit slurs in their comments. I know SRS gets a bad rep outside of the Fempire, so hopefully people won't want to get rid of me just because I participate there.
As for soccer, the only thing we can hope for is that he becomes inactive for a while and he doesn't see a redditrequest thread asking to remove him. He's been active recently, though. I asked him to change AutoModerator's permissions, and he did. I might have to wait a while.

If anything Randall is more likely to post feminist comics, or at least comics that turn traditional gender roles around. (how *does* she type in oven mitts)
