That actually makes me more wary of reddit than tumblr. For others, the llinked-to reddit seems to be mostly about laughing at and sometimes harassing people on tumblr that have pride in alternative lifestyles or viewpoints.


...alternative lifestyles or viewpoints.

This kind of "alterative lifestyle or viewpoint" is pretty scary: http://factcheckme.wordpress.com/2013/05/19/moron-creativity...

Yes this seems like one of the anti-feminist 'men's rights activists' type subreddits.


Why do you have men's rights activists in quotes?


er, bracketing that I forgot to finish. I originally meant to write: anti-feminist/'men's rights activist'


Laughing at sure, but the people in that subreddit do not condone bullying or harrasing those people.


Except it is turning into that, like r/cringe.

r/tumblrinaction was great in pointing out the ridiculous beliefs and lengths others would go to in the name of "social justice." However, I've seen a surge in activity of making fun of overweight people[1] and even the mods breaking rule one[2]. I'm not surprised by these activities because I expect such group mentality to bring about the same kind of people that social justice warriors did. People make a mockery of "others," it's human nature.
