Plenty of white men post in srs. Hateful shit just isn't welcome anymore. Unless you are implying that all white men say hateful shit? I certainly don't agree with that. Also, isn't srs mostly white men? I just don't follow your logic.
In SRS and /r/offmychest hateful shit equals anything that implies you don't check your privilege. It's okay to be a white male as long as your not proud about it.
Using white and being proud of it in the same sentence is a bit scary. White pride does have negative connotations for a reason.
It's only scary because racist white supremacists use that as their slogan
Sorry sorry. I forgot to demonstrate how ashamed I am of my skin color. Consider my privilege officially checked.
Ah the only reasonable alternative of white pride is being ashamed of the colour of your skin. That really is some black and white thinking.
>That really is some black and white thinking.
Das racist

Love his mixtape!
OMG. It's so bad it's entertaining. It sounds like something my friends would make in 7th grade. The lyrics and the rhyming are certifiable.
And that's coming from the person who is suggesting being proud of my skin color automatically means there's something malicious about it?
Who started using the word proud? Not me.

You actually used proud quite a lot.
Keyword is started.
Oh I see. Then yeah I did indeed start using it.
I'm curious, just because I can't come up with an answer, tbh (I am white). What makes you proud to be white?
Well, We did spend A few hundred years teaching Africans a strong sense of work ethics for free!!! /s
Yeah I honestly can't come up with one reason to be proud to be white. Anyone?
Any reason that is valid for one is valid for another. They just call it racist if you're white since whites have never been a historically oppressed group.

Most of my family and friends are white. The white people who I know appall racism, slavery, and discrimination based on circumstances of birth.

Either is black
Why shouldn't I be proud? If their can be black pride and gay pride shouldn't I be able to have some pride for my heritage? I can be proud without demonizing other cultures.
Yeah I really don't understand what he is implying, at all.
Why are you proud of being a white male?
It's part of who I am. I don't think there is anything wrong with being proud of oneself and circumstances of birth.
Just because you are something doesn't mean you are proud or not proud of it, is there anything about being white or male you are proud of?
Read his other post. It's because white people are responsible for modernization.
I haven't seen that at all. People still post some heavy stuff there, there were a few front paged pedo stories last week. But slurs like nigger and faggot, for example, are banned. Are you really that angry that you can't use them? What's so wrong with offmychest being more welcoming? Surely you aren't implying that white men aren't allowed because they use those slurs? That's silly.
There was a post about /r/offmychest on here just last week about a guy who got banned for daring to suggest that is possible to be racist against a white person. Look at that side bar and tell me it doesn't sound written by a radical feminist.
Could you clarify your earlier comment, about white men not being allowed? Are you implying that white men say hateful shit so they aren't welcome? Because that seems to be the only thing the sidebar disallows. And I am reading the sidebar, you think disallowing slurs like nigger is equivalent to being a radfem? Interesting. I think it's equivalent to being a decent person and a welcoming subreddit. Not sure you understand what a radfem is. Mind linking to that thread, as well? There is a great conversation in offmychest right now about false accusations. I thought that place was srs, though? Interesting.
It was an exaggeration. Of course men are allowed there. There have just been multiple cases where the radical SRS moderators have removed posts that have anything to do with their skewed views. There isn't a problem for banning someone for saying the n word or racial slurs, there is however a problem when posters are getting banned because they don't share the same view as the mods.
But what does all of that have to do with white men?
What are you even doing in this thread? This whole post has been about a white straight dude getting bullied by people on those kinds of subs just because he too wants to identify as a feminist.
Trolling, looks like.
And badly at that.
Kiss me, baby boo!
You are the one that claimed white men weren't allowed in r/offmychest, which is ridiculous, and I responded.
Half the posts in this subreddit are about people in offmychest getting banned because they didn't share the views of the mods. Most of them being about the discrimination of white men.

The problem here is that SRS has a pretty warped view of what "hateful shit" is.
I agree. Offmychest, though, bans for racial and homophobic slurs and shit like that. I see nothing wrong with that. There is some pretty controversial stuff that srs would not like on the front page, like about incest or pedophilia or fraccusations.
But the problem is that SRS has a fucking warped view of what qualifies as a racial or homophobic slur. The purpose of /r/offmychest is completely subverted when you have overly-sensitive and vindictive mods.
And what the fuck is a "fraccusation".
Racial slur- nigger. Homophobic slur- fag. Fra= false rape accusation. That's what I gathered after talking to theidesoflight. Those are what get you banned, those slurs.
