At least /r/ThePhilosophyofRape was decommissioned due to combined efforts from TrollX and TrollY. People were spamming the sub full of .gifs of adorable animals. Cutest, most brilliant solution EVER.
wait...isn't that brigading?
You oppose?
It's still brigading regardless of whether you approve of the target or not.
This is good brigading because these outrage merchants live and die by this kind of attention, and heaven forbid the rest of reddit should stop acting like outraged children long enough to recognise this fact or even get a fucking clue about what motivates these rejects.
There's no such thing as "good brigading" within the context of Reddit and its rules.
Please explain how use of brigading in this way is bad.
Brigading is wrong. Period.
It's not wrong against these guys, but you are correct that it is against the rules, and admins shouldn't make exceptions.
There's a difference between wrong and right and enforcing the rules.
So because it's used in negative ways sometimes, every instance is "wrong"? (in your opinion)
So what you're saying is that you would rather the sub not be brigaded with cute puppies, and have it full of rape advocating and recounts/promoting of actual rape against women instead.
Ok.
No he's not saying that. He's saying that brigading is wrong. As in, against the rules. Nothing more nothing less.
He said wrong, not against the rules, so that's his opinion.
wrong (rông, rŏng) adj. Not in conformity with fact or truth; incorrect or erroneous. adj. Contrary to conscience, morality, or law; immoral or wicked. adj. Unfair; unjust.
Seems pretty clear:

It's against the rules and should be enforced regardless of the reason. Do you also think that doxxing is okay sometimes?
If the doxxing leads to the conviction and arrest of a serial killer/pedophile/rapist?
then yes.
Acting like the world and all it's matters are black and white is a horribly naive viewpoint to have.
And murder is fine as long as the man killed was a murderer himself?
You're not the police. You have no fucking clue if that person you doxxed is guilty or not-- or if it's even the same person. Leave the internet detectivey to the actual detectives retard.

>So what you're saying is that you would rather the sub not be brigaded with cute puppies
So incredulous that people can value their morals more than disgust and anger. /s
I guess I'll be the one to keep in mind that the sub we're talking about is advocating/promoting the actual rape of women, which is a pretty well known crime.
But yea, "morals!"
>the sub we're talking about is advocating/promoting the actual rape of women, which is a pretty well known crime.
Then get the admins to do something about it, brigading is a shitty and pointless option.

So is rape
Two wrongs don't make a right.
yeah those are comparable
They're still two wrongs. Nobody said anything about magnitude.
who gives a fuck?
So you're saying we should all disobey the reddit rules whenever your feelings are heart? Sounds like a good way for the website to descend into anarchy.
if the admins aren't going to do anything about the rape 101 sub and "anarchy" is going to fill the rape 101 sub with things that aren't rape 101, i know which is going to make for a better site
You're selectively applying the logic though. It shouldn't matter what the target is - on Reddit, brigading is wrong. It's like vigilante justice; It may sometimes net a result, but it's still illegal.
yeah i am selectively applying the logic, because every situation isn't every other situation. and for god's sake no it's not illegal. it's an incredibly badly managed website, it's not a government.
I said Vigilante Justice is illegal. Please try and actually read my comments.
>yeah i am selectively applying the logic, because every situation isn't every other situation.
You can twist it whatever way you want, but Brigading is wrong on Reddit. You only approve of it in this case because it is happening to a subreddit you don't like (even if the dislike is justifiable). You wouldn't like if one of your favourite subreddits was brigaded.

The way rape is illegal?
Jesus Christ, you people really have a one track mind, don't you?

How is that worse than actually raping and encouraging others to rape women. Please get your priorities straight.
It's not about priorities. You can't disobey the rules whenever you see a just cause. Do you disobey laws in real life if the ends justify the means? If you do, you're still disobeying the law and should expect to be appropriately punished because we live in a civilised society.
> You can't disobey the rules whenever you see a just cause.
people can and do, it's called civil disobedience, learn something
I know exactly what it's called, you fuckwit. Jesus Christ, any conversation even tangentially relating to rape becomes so bloody infuriating on this website.
Regardless, I don't think vigilante justice falls under the category of "Civil disobedience" in real life.
Why aren't you applying any of this to the man raping/encouraging other to rape women?
By all means that subreddit is a horrible place, but if you want it shut down, follow the appropriate methods that don't violate the rules of the website. Also, is the existence of that subreddit in any way illegal?
