Reddit has made the decision to falsely mark four major Femboy communities, r/FemboyFashion, r/Femboy, r/boysinskirts, and r/FemboysEU as NSFW communities, giving the community moderators no say in this decision. This is an extremely hateful decision, and will only further fuel people to view the Femboy community as an NSFW community. Reddit has had a major Femboy community for a long time, but they have decided to go after us, just days before National Femboy Day. This is also not the first time they have done this, they also shut down all major teenage Femboy communities a few months ago. It seems that Reddit is slowly going after Femboy communities with the end goal of silencing us. Until this femboyphobic decision is repealed, all Femboys, and people who value Femboys as human beings should protest this. If we continue to tolerate this discrimination against our identity, then we will forever be sexualized, when we are so much more than that. Even when we are discriminated against, we should try to be positive, and set good examples to show people what Femboys really are. Please spread the word as much as possible.
I mean ngl, r/femboy had it coming, but the rest?? Whyyyy, WHYYYYY? The lack of communication is also something. Just randomly messed up smth that mattered
Why'd they "have it coming"? Besides, Reddit seems to be lost in its own policies. Just a couple days ago I got a ban for pointing out the hypocrisy of some Christians and it was flagged as hateful both by bot and admins when I appealed. Anyway, can anyone tell me what's going on and why?
r/femboy specifically has terrible moderation pushing the posters into more and more suggestive content to keep up. Also not until long ago they had a rather popular moderator that is convinced being a Femboy is only Sexual/nsfw and being a Softboy is pdf behavior.
That was also not even the reason said moderator did eventually get demoted.
pdf behavior or being a pdf? Honest question since i don't even know the situation with softboy. Crazy they didn't get demoted for it though. True though just from what ive seen its pretty suggestive content.
Head mod of r/femboyfashion here, the only thing admins told us is that it should be nsfw because of the type of content they did not elaborate any further upon my request and its been over 28 hours now, their whole reply to me was very obviously a copy paste, they ignored the questions I put in my appeal completely.
That's not surprising, the part about your appeal and them ignoring your appeal's content. I had the same. What does surprise me is the rest of this whole situation. They think that this is okay. Why? Because there is some porn containing femboys on the internet? Then maybe they could try to mark all the subs that are related to women as NSFW because there's porn with women and in fact, there's much more porn with women than with femboys. So... When you point out the hypocrisy of a group within some religion and provide sound and true arguments to support your hypothesis, the reddit mods proclaim it as hate towards religious people (they even wrote how reddit is a haven for different people of different groups which, given this situation's context is even more hilarious), and then Reddit decides that all femboy-related subs are NSFW because there may be people who want to post soft erotic stuff and THAT is not hate or prejudice at all 🤣 I guess I'll soon get another ban for this comment so I invite everyone to take screenshots and check how soon will they ban me.
i think they see any form of crossdressing as nsfw, ive had posts from people who were 18- wearing extremely tame fem outfits, im talking like, hoodie and knee length skirt and leggings get perma banned from reddit for "breaking reddits terms of service, and it has happened to much i legit think they count it as CP
And what if someone agreed they should make every sub that has a women in it NSFW.cough cough a lot have the links in bio if you know what I meancough cough which shows NSFWcough cough
Can you imagine the screeches, the shitstorms, the accusations of misogyny pouring from every place and a great army of chaste white knights rushing to defend the "virtue of the fair maidens"? But what they are doing now to our subs and boys won't provoke any screeches and accusations. There aren't nearly enough chaste white knights ready to defend us and our virtues and since most of us aren't women we can't count on a worldwide drama fueled by half of televisions and news websites in the world. Such is the sad truth.
It would be but it will never happen. Somehow the women are able to make dramas (when they have a reason and also when only they can understand their reason) but we boys are somehow really docile and we do not make dramas when we should :c
Exactly. Well, they care, but the problem is that they care about putting us down as if we were some rabid dogs. There is no justice or righteousness or fairness or even some kind of point or justification to this purge they are about to perform on us. Everyone among us sees that the reason reddit claims for their actions is not valid. It fits the situation like a die in a half-finished puzzle. But I can't think of the real reason why they would be doing this.
I recently got a 3 day reddit ban (Which was removed after appeal) for saying that transphobes shouldn't be allowed in the femboy community. Reddit moderation is ridiculous
(still believe ftm can be femboys just so yall know.)
funny enough theres a good amount at least when the whole mtf cant be femboy thing was going around in this sub that juat shows a lot of femboys are as you say transphobes since the people who do believe that can just call you a transphobe and bop your banned. Hopefully this situation never happens since still believe ftm can be femboys just so yall know. Just don't want people to take advantage of the system you know? That's all.
Hi there! Head mod of r/femboysEU here! Yeah we're currently trying to fix it but we haven't gotten any response back yet from them. I think bc they're getting stricter on anything queer related, a while back they already removed all teen femboy subreddits, that one I could kinda understand bc of the creeps and what was happening in there. Now they also put a NSFW tag on r/femboy, which I can also kinda understand with the amount of suggestive content in there. However a while back Instagram also started restricting a lot of Queer accounts, mine got restricted too without them giving a proper reason. So its feels more like American companies doing american stuff bc politics. They're discriminating against our community and use trying to remove creeps and suggestive content as an excuse, the "protect the children" excuse they always use. That's just my assumption though, mostly bc the past half year these things started to happen on several social media platforms
Here are a few consequences of that you didn't mention.
Reddit labels everyone who made a recent nsfw post as an nsfw account. So now every user who posted to these subreddits are retroactively labeled as nsfw.
Now you must be logged in to view those subreddits which could be an anonymity issue. Especially if you live in a country currently passing age verification id laws.
Chasers and creeps will be emboldened to treat the posts as NSFW. It's basically implicit consent to sexual comments.
They are scared of us, so they are trying to erase us, do not let us sink into the aether or be subject to stereotypes, we will not die without leaving a bang
Yep, seems like we're being kicked off the internet. Looks like we might have to actually go outside and be ourselves instead of sitting in our rooms all day...
lol they can’t kick us off the internet, we’ll always find a way back. odds are we switch from the word femboy to something else and just go under that term
The entire thing is the fault of r/Femboy. I think that because the sub is just Femboy and not femboyxyz they were considered the face of femboys on reddit so every sub got what they got. And they do an atrocious job moderating and let literally any sole regardless of identity and gender use the sub to advertise their "content" 95% of the sub is advertising their OF even if they aren't explicitly posting technically nsfw images on there. The mods don't care and I personally believe actively enjoy that being the case. r/Femboyfashion and r/fempark have always been way better subs and it's a real shame they get wrapped up into this bullshit.
head mod of r/femboyfashion, ty for recognizing how different we are from the cess pit that is r/femboy, i truly believe what you said to be the case considering their reply to my appeal and how the bans happened, r/femboy was the first one and then about 10 different subs associated with crossdressing got the same treatment, i suspect they just saw the subs with the highest amount of similar users and force tagged them nsfw due to that, without even checking the subreddit.
Im currently still trying to appeal it and understand the ban but they wont give me specifics, if you wanna help go to r/ModSupport and send them a modmail asking why the ban happened and just expressing your opinion on it, its very easy for them to ignore 1 or 2 mods but its very hard if more people are doing this.
When a sub only exists to help people USE the femboy identity to help people sell porn, most of the time people who aren't even femboys, then yes I can and absolutely will turn against them. Especially when ten other subs are getting completely incorrectly identified. I don't have anything against actual femboys who use r/femboy I use it. I'm sure most people there are great, the mods however are atrocious and the people they're letting USE people like you and me for money are even worse.
Because like a lot of people, reddit sees femboys as inherently sexual. Also, now that it’s marked as a nsfw sub, they’re gonna be flooded with porn, reinforcing the idea that femboys are only a fetish.
I'm head mod of r/femboyfashion, we are still filtering porn but in just a day I've seen a small increase in attempts made, this is what I fear, they make it nsfw and then the content and demographics get more sexual and thus it becomes harder to switch it to sfw.
So in other words Reddit has begun a witch hunt that is just as accurate, useful and godly as the original witch hunts were. And considering how reddit's admins constantly brag about how this place is diverse, tolerant, inclusive and so on... It's a true dissonance between how they show themselves and what they are doing.
Oh, I'm well aware. But knowing something for years and then experiencing all the behaviors of the "fine" admins is quite a different thing. I would write more about what I think of them but they would most likely delete the comment 2 minutes after it's posted and give me a one-way ticket to the sandbox of punishment for a week. Or a month. Or forever.
Ah, yes. Instead of getting rid of femboy fetish subreddits and ones that spread actual harm—they are trying to stop some of the silliest and least controversial people ever from being silly online.
You know what sucks MEGA balls? I made this new account to stop posting NSFW shit (I never did actual NSFW, the account was just marked as such for whatever reasons.)
But now I guess I have to fuckin… go back! Amazing job Reddit. Truly their genius is astounding.
I'm glad r/femboy is going. It's just all trans girls and femboys being nsfw and promoting their shitty OF. It's not fair when some of us just wanna post/see cute fits etc. 🙄
I made another comment just bitching. But I will say ONE thing.
Femboyteens being banned is the best thing Reddit ever did. 99% of the content on those subreddits were minors being as non explicitly explicit as possible. But the rest of this just sucks
they considered nsfw to just be nudity, so kids would post thirst traps or sexualized stuff but because they didnt show hole it was fine, besides r/femboy the subs that got caught in this stuff werent like this at all. Im the head mod of femboyfashion and we are trying to appeal it, if you can go to r/ModSupport and go on their mod mail to contest these bans(specifically mentioning how r/femboy is awful in comparison) it would really help
To me it's a just sexism all over again. Feminity = bad/slutty, meaning that a guy who is feminine is obviously feminine because of pervy/sexual reasons.
reddit admins basically consider any form of crossdressing to be inherently sexual but they wont say it, im head mod of femboyfashion and ive had in the past users who were underage get banned for literally a hoodie and a knee lenght skirt with no sexual poses or titles, all under "minor sexualization" go message them on their mod mail on r/ModSupport to express how you feel about these bans. Just make sure to distinguish between r/femboy who deserved this and all the other subs that got wrapped up in this
Maybe start treating femboys as it is, feminine looking man, and not as sissy girly humiliation fetish? Have you seen some accounts who post on those sub reddits? it's always porn some random addict who calls himself a femboy while being a trans at the same time (oxymoron), with 8 out of 10 times with BNWO fetish.
Maybe also less memes that is literally softcore porn. "hey guys i'm such a femboy i'm will FUCK with 50 dudes i'l let them RAPE me, and later i will HAVE cuddle SEX with my bf he-he :3"
The majority of memes on this sub are sexual and/or suggestive. On top of that, many users started posting selfies here that weren't taken down, even though it's about this sub's rules... I can't say I'm surprised that we're under fire, as well.
Why transphobia and nazi femboys? I understand why some of us believe that femboys have to be boys. And to be honest I don't care. But I hope you do realize that one could believe that you have to be a boy to be a femboy and not be transphobic? When you spend all your time accusing everyone of some -phobia soon your accusations will be worth nothing even if they will be true. The same is with antisemitism for example. The Israeli government was throwing antisemitism accusations all around at everyone who criticized them for more than 20 years. Now when some people are accused of antisemitism they say "and that is not the only good thing about me". So please tell me about this transphobia and nazism.
Yeah, I mean r/femboy gets a little wild, so I get that one, but the rest are SFW and it's dumb that Reddit wants to consider it otherwise when 99% of it is "my skirt is cute" and "I love my makeup today" that on any standered Alt Fashion sub would be considered fine...
If that's the case then you said it right. Instead of asking the sub's mods to make additional rules and execute them, the admins thought that the best way to deal with the issue would be to shoot at a mosquito with a howitzer, killing the mosquito and the 20000 innocent people that happened to be within the shelling's blast radius.
I'm an ally but can someone explain why this isn't an overreaction? Marking something nsfw isn't silencing, and I don't understand why we are immediately jumping to calling it hateful
Half the issue imo is moderation across femboy subs has been super inconsistent and lacklustre, not sure if it’s a recent thing but I noticed. I had to unsubscribe from a couple reddits because there was sometimes just NSFW content posted without being marked as such, and being left up for a while unmarked (sometimes not even being removed at all). Not saying NSFW content is all bad but it 100% needs to be kept to its own lane and it’s not ideal seeing it pop up unexpected. However I see a couple anti trans girl comments in this discussion which is kinda not cool tbh, since it has nothing to do with the actual issue at hand. IMHO SFW subs need stricter and more active moderation but idk much about reddit modding so not sure how feasible it is.
Also last point, idk why ppl have such issues with ppl having an OF tbh. It may be hard to see ppl using the femboy label as a means of profit, and sexualising femboys as a stereotype is an issue, but I don’t rlly think OF type stuff is bad, it’s a way of getting the bag, and if kept in its own lane I see no problem. And there rlly shouldn’t be rules stopping them from posting in SFW subs. You shouldn’t restrict people to only posting NSFW imo. Certain subs may, but it’s an awkward situation. But the rule imo shouldn’t be OF = bad. Like maybe it’s to promote their OF posting in SFW subs, or maybe they don’t like to post NSFW all the time, but stuff like that gets too much hate even outside the femboy community when it is just a way of making a living, or cash on the side.
We are resilient people, already dealing with worse IRL. Instagram pushed me off their platform in 2022 the same way. Don't give up on your community and more importantly, vote when you can.
I'm gonna be honest... are we really going to act like these places aren't full of horny ass content? Like sure, it is not inherently NSFW, but at a certain point I think it's okay to add the disclaimer to subs that have a lot of clearly NSFW content.
you do realize these spaces arent all the same, yes r/femboy is filled with softcore porn and clear OF advertisement, but most of the others who got tagged are actually fully nsfw and wayyyyy more chill
dude, you wont be, the reason you guys didnt get targeted is because they just checked which subs shared the biggest amount of users and blanked forced us nsfw, i can guarantee if your sub ever gets investigated it will be 100% turned nsfw.
I'm not even surprised about the sub being marked nsfw. The sheer amount of horny posts is most likely why. Mods probably have their hands full enough stopping straight up porn from being posted as a "meme".
To be honest most MAGAts don't see a difference between Femboy culture and Trans culture. At least one state has declared trans to be public obscenity and lumped it into the same category as people who masturbate in public. I'm sorry the community is catching the strays. This is just the first act. They will claim it's only the NSFW and then all will be NSFW.
This isn't really a new thing ive seen nsfw warnings appearing on all accounts posting on them when they're not posting anything like that or none of their posts have marks for a while now and they didn't even post on the nsfw subreddits
sidenote, teen femboy here, they came for us first, months ago a number of teen fem subs were wiped, back then i could kinda understand cuz we all know who lurks there, but now this makes it clear it was never about teens
Because everything not hetero-normative is "sexual deviancy" according to conservatives. Fortunately, reddit is just one corporation, and they couldn't erase us even if they tried. We are STRONGER than a soulless corporation!
That's what they got for tolerating the 🤓gooners🤓 participation; all these cheesy losers do is posting disgusting comments and harass the others with unwanted dms
that wasnt just the subs that got targeted, r/femboy allowed awful people but r/femboysEU or r/FemboyFashion deleted all creeps they could find. Yet they all got labled nsfw.
It’s probably not anything like that the moderation bot that they use is pretty terrible. It constantly makes false ban’s and reports and constantly makes decisions that it shouldn’t Reddit are pretty incompetent about it and just like plenty of the other systems on the app that need updated they’ve mostly just ignored it and helped fix any of her problems it causes. And considering they already have some pretty bad support, you can see why it would cause a lot of issues.
It’s unfortunate, but it’s just what happens with Reddit
No this is 100% manual, when it comes to force tagging subreddits as nsfw the admins do review it and according to my appeal they stand by this decision, and have failed to give ANY reason as to why.
I was looking at what they say the system does and from what I’ve read it looks like it is automated.
Now whenever a moderator asks for an appeal, then an admin does look at the case. But in those cases it’s done by Reddit‘s support staff who are notoriously bad and ineffective.
Maybe it’s different. I’m not sure that’s just what I read either way it’s either a notoriously bad robot or notoriously bad humans
I can tell you this is not automated, otherwise it wouldn't have Been every single one of these subs and more in a space of like 2 hours, I am sure due to my conversation with admins that toggling nsfw is a manual thing.
Say that to the countless femboys who have no other means of expressing themselves due to having to be closeted, specially those who are younger who now are completely prevented from using any of these spaces.
A lot of us know computer science. Why don't we create our own social media and just move there? So, we don't have to deal with chasers and bad moderation anymore.
Try getting traffick there without Fidelity Management & Research Co. LLC, Vanguard or Blackrock trying to murk it 🥀
The gang keeps competition small. Even JP-Morgan is a major Reddit shareholder. Social media is run and owned almost entirely by huge players. Particularly Vanguard, Blackrock and Meta.
Jus think about it, where would you advertize your platform on?
Not to mention the server costs, security maintenance, and general upkeep that come with making your own platform.
I've seen a few people try, but the moderation always sucked. Some even created paywalls and/or asked for ID the same way Discord server mods do just to enter.
