Is he banned yet?

2019-01-04 01:03:19 UTC  

I can't imagine they'll let it pass

2019-01-04 01:03:28 UTC  

So far he and the menslib mod seem pretty cordial

2019-01-04 01:03:57 UTC  

That's odd

2019-01-04 01:04:04 UTC  

The account posted on /r/feminism a *lot* before this

2019-01-04 01:04:15 UTC  

but also posted a few things to /r/MGTOW and /r/MGTOW2

2019-01-04 01:04:21 UTC  

which is why I suspect an alt

2019-01-04 01:04:37 UTC  

A cursory check would suggest the guy is a genuine menslibber

2019-01-04 01:05:13 UTC  

/r/MensLib isn't as ban happy for people who participate in /r/MensRights stuff as /r/feminism so it is entirely possible that it will remain cordial

2019-01-04 01:05:57 UTC  

..

2019-01-04 01:06:45 UTC  

I even posted something relatively aggressive in the /r/MensLib side and got *upvoted* for it: https://www.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/abhu8j/mens_issues_regarding_child_custody_and_child/ed6cu9q/

2019-01-04 01:07:12 UTC  

And the mod responded to me and didn't nail me

2019-01-04 01:07:21 UTC  

/r/MensLib really isn't /r/feminism at all

2019-01-04 01:11:21 UTC  

I don't know about that, they focus men's issues through the eyes of feminism, and a singular post on there and some (admittedly fair) comments on there isn't going to change my view on that overnight

2019-01-04 01:11:41 UTC  

I'm clearly referring to moderation policy and not philosophy

2019-01-04 01:13:05 UTC  

Even if MensLib wasn't basically the anti-male approach to men's issues, criticism of feminism is not allowed on MensLib -- which kneecaps the whole addressing men's issues thing.

2019-01-04 01:17:37 UTC  

Which would seem to indicate their moderation policy is very different than mens rights, we don't ban criticism of what MRA's do

2019-01-04 01:19:26 UTC  

Well, practically everywhere jas a very different moderation policy than MensRights

2019-01-04 01:19:51 UTC  

but yeah

2019-01-04 01:21:38 UTC  

Although, I would contend that that /r/MensLib, which is I think the 2nd largest sub on the topic of general men's issues (excluding more specific communities like /r/MGTOW) would basically *be* /r/MensRights if they didn't explicitly make it a feminist space

2019-01-04 01:21:57 UTC  

which would defeat the purpose of /r/MensLib

2019-01-04 01:23:31 UTC  

So to some degree I don't begrudge them some measure of culling as far as antifeminism goes (even if I think the idea of profeminist men's advocacy is a mistake), though they really seem to have gone ham on nailing it down.

2019-01-04 01:27:11 UTC  

Perhaps it's unfortunate, but I do have to blame them for operating that way. It detracts from having the situation discussed in an open and logical manner, making it harder for men's issues to get headway

2019-01-04 01:28:00 UTC  

I'd agree with that

2019-01-04 01:28:00 UTC  

If we wanna continue we should probably go over to <#523922218200203265>

2019-01-04 01:28:12 UTC  

Subreddit drama is <#523922218200203265>?

2019-01-04 01:29:21 UTC  

Idk, I felt it strayed into the philosophies of the respective subs, delving into different perspectives of those who may want to discuss men's rights issues. I'm not the type of mod who's gonna enforce on having this discussion here if you choose to ignore me

2019-01-04 01:29:51 UTC  

eh, we can take it to <#523922218200203265>, do continue over there

2019-01-04 01:30:25 UTC  

Since you agreed I had nothing much else to comment unless you do lol xD

2019-01-04 01:31:44 UTC  

haha, we're on the same page and I've run out of words too

2019-01-04 01:34:08 UTC  

Ah well, was fun, always good to have things to distract me when I'm on my exercise bike

2019-01-04 01:36:10 UTC  

What have you been up to today?

2019-01-04 01:38:55 UTC  

Well, early today I finished a science victory in Endless Legend

2019-01-04 01:39:21 UTC  

Vaulters are really powerful in both Endless Space 2 and Legend both

2019-01-04 01:39:32 UTC  

You?

2019-01-04 01:43:39 UTC  

I have no idea what that game is are but glad you won ^^

I actually only got up about 6 hours ago. Made my 'breakfast', spoke to a few people, just finished 57km on my bike for cardio, and now I'm gonna make some meatballs in tomato sauce and watch Enterprise, possibly play minecraft or YS for a bit

2019-01-04 01:44:07 UTC  

Wow, game looks pretty good and it’s cheap on Steam now!

2019-01-04 01:56:10 UTC  

I came back from the gym. Did some Crossfit.

2019-01-04 01:56:14 UTC  

@Abbysol sorry I’m late, but that looks fantastic!

2019-01-04 01:56:56 UTC  

Also, what is that game about? @asparkofpyrokravte

2019-01-04 01:59:35 UTC  

Endless Legend is a 4X, so think Civilzation if you are unaware of the genre. Combat is significantly simplified from AoW (age of wonders). The game is designed to be a lot more like AoW and a lot less like Civ. But it plays fast. 200 turns is plenty for the "regular speed" slow-ish mode
