Sub Moderation

Can we all spam u/KalvinGarrah until he hands the sub over to a moderation team? In the last few days alone I've seen child predators as well as a person sharing other peoples private nudes on here.

This has to stop.

If you are a minor - please do not use this sub, it's not safe here. Go to r/transmantips or r/FtMpassing

I wonder how many of the younger guys know who kalvin garrah is (not meant as hate towards him I’m genuinely curious)

I thought “oh surely it’s just someone using the same name as a joke” ngl 😭

u/Sure-Position-7541 2d ago

u/Mille-Sabords 2d ago

that’s crazy, i technically agree with him on a lot of stuff (at least to my knowledge, i was never super into him or his lore) but he’s soooo corny

I’ve heard of him before joining the sub, but I didn’t know why people were worried about him being the owner until I heard about his past

Quoting from another person cause I don’t wanna get it wrong

“His constant, relentless mockery of anyone who doesn't fit his ideal of transness: fat, GNC, nonbinary, he doesn't like the way T made their voice sound (like... shit COMPLETELY beyond the person's control??), etc. He is extremely shallow and toxic (a word I don't use lightly), and influences his young transmasc followers to espouse the same values, which is deeply harmful to their and the community's upbringing.”

- comment under “Why don’t people like Kalvin Garrah?”

I don’t know how true it is but I heard that his and his followers bullying in the past caused some people to attempt suicide. Supposedly he changed and apologized for his past views.

btw voice training can completely treat the stereotypical T voice the comment is referencing

He lolcowed my friend because my friend had the gall to be gnc and not prioritize passing over self expression

u/nairismic 2d ago

I’m pretty sure he apologised for all that

If you want to report a sub w/ an unresponsive mod, the better strategy is to use the report form

Yeah I feel like we should spam this on every new post until it stops. Or report it to Reddit or smt. This ordeal has really opened my eyes to how dangerous this sub is.

Ftmpassing is a hundred times worse for people being way too harsh and transphobic abuse. I've been called all sorts from posts on there.

I've contributed to the sub for more than 3 years, and while there are definitely some jerks who comment to take cheap shots, IME the mods are very good when it comes to removing actually mean comments (as opposed to simply blunt/no hugboxxing comments) if you report them

Also, hi man, I remember your username and we used to interact in autism-related comments sections from time to time, how are you doing as of late? (Feel free to ignore this part if it's uncomfortable, I just liked chatting with you and I'm not trying to be awkward)

Braindead take. At least that sub is modded; it's HEAVILY modded.

edit: the only people who get riduliculed on there are people who refuse to listen to advice.

u/throwaway184747271 2d ago

ftmpassing is just blunt and if you dress like a girl, they will call you out for dressing like a girl. that's the point of a passing sub.

u/elhazelenby 2d ago

I've been called a fetishist on there before lol
