You shouldn't be allowed to mod that subreddit. This is why people dislike you and SRS because you infect as much as you can on reddit and there's no way to remove you people when you get modded. The worst is when you get to inject your tumblr feminism into subreddits where open discussion is supposed to take place like in /r/changemyview, /r/anarchism, /r/lgbt, and /r/explainlikeimfive (each has at least one moderator that is an SRS follower) because then it's not a place to speak freely when you start censoring people like you have done. How do you and other SRS followers manage to get modded in so many places? People don't like you yet you have this way of infecting and weaseling your way into mod positions. You have been a moderator of ELI5 since January which means that this is not the first time that you have censored something that you don't like.
Edit: The mods of SRD shouldn't have tagged this as Low Hanging Fruit because this is a default moderator abusing their power.
And if you aren't allowed to degrade women, how can you truly have an open discussion?
Wait what
> Do not use the phrase "getting your panties in a twist". It is degrading to women.
I would bet my left nut that you wouldn't ban anyone who responded to that comment with "don't be a dick" even though it's a gendered slur. I would put a fiver on you having thought about responding that way yourself. Since you're a tumblr feminist, you probably find a bunch of retarded words or comments to be degrading to women such as "I think feminism sucks." I think that you should be removed as a moderator upon today's evidence.
Wow two subs in two days reveals they are modded by tumblr/srs sjws. First /r/creepypms then ELI5. Far out, I'm dissapointed that these mods are pushing their biased agendas like it's the right thing to do. What bullshit.
They might as well add a "benned" image everytime they ban a user for offending them.
I used to really like /r/creepypms until I started noticing some of the tumblr style feminists in there
Don't say "bet my left nut," its degrading to men.
It's almost like there's some kind of asymmetry which would explain why one phrase but not the other is problematic.
Wait, I thought you were joking about the "panties in twist is mysogyny" thing... are you serious?
People aren't exaggerating when they mean that these people are the same type of crazy than that redhead militant feminist cunt from that video.
same at first i just thought he was feeding into the joke but i kept reading and he really believes its degrading to women.
Yes, I am serious.

I do subscribe to many of the ideas that Reddit refers to as "tumblr". It's not like I try to hide this.
Maybe you should, for everyone's sake
I don't wear whitey-tighties, but if I did, could I get those in a twist? Is that allowed? I just don't get where the line is drawn here. Is it okay to use language that is derogatory towards men, or do we just stay away from any gender-specific language altogether?
Or is asking this just proof of my white cis male privilege? Does my opinion count if the patriarchy favors me? I can never get a straight answer on this stuff... I'm always told I'm incapable of understanding. Help a guy out.
Don't you think seeing this insignificant as oppression cheapens people suffering from real oppression ?
No. Why would it?
Because it's like a white person complaining about racial oppression. I mean it's like .. sure, maybe, in some country, somewhere, maybe ... but not really. But that's a more real thing than "panties in a twist!" being a sign of misogyny. And I'm sure you don't subscribe to the belief it's possible to oppress white people.
I can't imagine how you manage to get through conversations with people in public without judging them on cliche'd phrases they've picked up in movies or TV unconsciously that have nothing to do with their morals. It shows a huge ignorance to judge someone on common phrases they use rather than their actions or their character.
I don't judge people on common phrases they use. When a particular common phrase is hurtful, I ask them to not use it, but I don't judge them poorly for it.
Have you been to the beach recently?
Probably still has sand in there from years past.
People downvoting this: is there something so incredibly valuable about the specific idiom "don't get your panties in a bunch" that's lost by being asked to instead use something like "you're being unreasonable/irrational/ridiculous"?
Only to SRS followers like you since you believe the whole "men are privileged so I can call them dicks" but "women are oppressed by the patriarchy so I can ban men from my discussion subreddit for saying something that sane people don't get their panties in a twist over." I hope you get de-modded for this.
I'm not quite sure what you think the process is here. Are you expecting the Reddit Police to come and de-mod me for infringing on freedom of speech?
If somebody was banning people over trivial things like using the word "owl" or something, I'd take issue with that. There are a lot of mods, even mods with ties to SRS, who don't cross the threshold of pure crazypants. Sure they may ban slurs or racist and sexist speech, but they do it within reason. You, however, seem not to do this, and cross the aformentioned threshold into "mod who enforces fringe nuttery." Of course, you have every right to mod the place you mod. It's just that you kind of suck at it if you are this politically compromised about it and honestly would be doing the community a favor if you weren't.
>If somebody was banning people over trivial things like using the word "owl" or something, I'd take issue with that.
I guess /r/ggggg is not for you, then.
Maybe you should de-mod yourself since you never should have been modded in the first place. I think that I might take it upon myself to talk to the other moderators and I think that others should do the same.
Realization that there is no oversight for moderators is not the same thing as being cool with it.
Yeah, you're not going to win friends with that one.
Welp, I was actually agreeing with you for the most part before this comment.
I know right. It's what's so incredibly off-putting about those sorts of people. You WANT to agree with them, but then they go off in this weird-ass tangent that you are like "really, are you fucking kidding?"
And then you have to re-examine every position you have to figure out if the craziness is inherent in other shit, and you haven't noticed before because you happen to agree with it.
Thank you so much for expressing clearly what I've been feeling since I joined reddit.
/r/Conspiracy, /r/MensRights, /r/ShitRedditSays, /r/Conservative, /r/Anarchism, /r/Politics.
It's as if Reddit is actively making people insane.
I get banned from /r/conservative maybe twice a month.
/u/chabanais is the most emotional moderator on reddit.
It's almost like you're a hypocrite.
Looks to me like someone has their panties in a twist.
Well aren't you just the bravest little thing.
I respect your opinion.
