Has anyone here noticed this disturbing uptick of online trolls and agitators of indeterminate origin masquerading as women tormenting people and acting unpredictable in an attempt to destabilize society and radicalize men?
I've always known that people were doing this, but it's been really bad as of late. They pop up on my posts occasionally; often but not always portraying themselves as Black or Queer, and they are saying ridiculous things that are inflammatory, cruel, and work backwards from pre-made conclusions that often involve disliking or outright hating men in a way that sounds like it is tailormade to make misandry out to be some kind of rogue pandemic of cruelty that is growing in size as to rival that of misogyny.
I posted something on some subreddit about a week or two ago about how getting upset and writing angry paragraphs when someone breaks an obscure rule of some subreddit is deranged behavior, and someone behind a female coded profile starts angrily cussing me out; this ends up devolving into this person making weird comments about my genitalia. Why, just about a half an hour ago, I got what seems to be an intentionally stupid comment on one of my previous posts essentially advertising that she "doesn't get any of this."
These are not women. These people are making a mockery of women. The notion that everyone is who they say they are online is an extremely dangerous talking point; the likes of which disproportionately discredit women and minorities and assault them with false incredulity that they had done nothing to deserve in the first place. That suspiciously upvoted and awarded take that lacks any semblance of originality, wit, spark or humor under a female coded profile with a concealed post history as to hide possible mass posting was focalized by deceptive means by botting software or some other means for a calculated reason and is supposed to be a surreptitious message that is intended to tell you that women do not possess those traits. That female coded profile telling you that you are a bad person for making her afraid to go to the grocery store somehow upvoted 50 times over; likely through some botting software is really saying "Women are mean. We think we're above you and your existence is a slight to us. Are you angry yet? Why don't you hate us yet?" There is a reason why more than 99 percent of the stupid feminist leaning takes are made by anonymous female coded profiles of dubious origin and not women that you can link a name to. Turns out that there are probably almost zero feminists on the planet who get abortions for fun and think that all sex with men is nonconsensual that aren't anonymous dumbass trolls that are likely linked to a foreign adversary.
Have you all noticed this? Who is doing this? What ought to be done about this? Is Reddit just becoming a net negative for humanity with the quarter it seems to give to bad actors?
