Where we stand on Red Pill, an Apology, and a Request from the Mods.

PinnedMod Thread

Yesterday comments were made in a thread here on SO30 by several users that promoted Red Pill ideology. And in fact these comments are appearing more and more frequently on dating, relationship, and sex subreddits lately due to a number of factors, including the growth and popularity of Reddit in general, and subreddits such as r/sexover30 specifically.

The moderators here at SO30 want to make it very clear that we do not allow the promotion of Red Pill (RP/TRP) ideology here at SO30. It is considered to be misogynistic and even misandrist and it will not be tolerated. Users will be banned for promoting it. Discussion of RP/incel(involuntary celibates) and other similar ideologies are acceptable for debate, education, and discussion purposes but may be removed at moderator discretion.

While we do not require gender neutrality or parity here at SO30, because that wouldn't always work on a sex based forum, we will not allow sexist, antiquated attitudes that promote gender warfare.

We would like to sincerely apologize that we allowed misogynistic/misandrist RP/TRP comments to stand in a thread for almost 24 hours. While this is no excuse, it is in part due to a miscommunication on the part of the moderators. That is still inexcusable. We all share the blame.

We ask that you report rule breaking comments. As much as we try to read every comment, we can't always be everywhere as quickly as we'd like or with as much time or focus as a rule breaking comment might require. Your reports put it on our radar so much faster. Please report!!! I cannot stress that enough. Report!

And to those who cry "censorship"...yeah, so? This is our house and we are allowed to make the rules. This isn't a democracy. And the Reddit admins fully support our right to make rules restricting speech and content in our communities. You can follow our rules or you can leave. It's that simple.
