I'm like 95% convinced that most of the content posted on /r/TwoXChromosomes that makes it to the front page of reddit is conservative propaganda wrapped in the language of feminism, and it just keeps getting more blatant over time
Kathryn Brightbill (@kebrightbill.bsky.social):
There's so many takes that make it to reddit's front page about how modesty is empowering, or anything but very specific types of s*x are just cowtools of the patriarchy that no woman could actually want, or that s*x scenes in movies are oppressing women and antifeminist that are being hugely upmarseyd.
Kathryn Brightbill (@kebrightbill.bsky.social):
And that's before going into how the modest clothing subs on reddit have this weird thing about how it's impossible to find modest clothing and therefore you need to buy from websites run by fundamentalists of various religions, as if that's the only place to find a maxi skirt or crew neck top.
Kathryn Brightbill (@kebrightbill.bsky.social):
One of the biggest modest fashion subs is now at the point where they've radicalized each other from, "it's impossible to find long skirts," all the way to being burqa-curious, in an interfaith, multicultural kind of way over the course of the few years I've been following it.
Kathryn Brightbill (@kebrightbill.bsky.social):
Something like three years ago, the worst thing in that particular sub was that a bunch of posters were buying Amish and Mennonite prayer caps without bothering to understand the religious meaning, now there's posters talking about a niqab showing too much skin and covering their eyes with chiffon.
Kathryn Brightbill (@kebrightbill.bsky.social):
To be clear, it's not the clothes that are the issue, per se, because all of those garments have both cultural and religious meanings that should be respected, but radicalizing each other into appropriating a grab bag of religious clothing under the belief that it's feminist to do so is troubling.
Kathryn Brightbill (@kebrightbill.bsky.social):
It's like /r/TwoXChromosomes and similar subs are increasingly being used as the introductory point of a radicalization path that's selling women on the idea that playing at being a tradwife who doesn't let any inch of their body be seen by a man that's not their husband is the truest feminism.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Slow Frog Boil forum culture sliding is something propagandists will use, and general forums are the most susceptible to it. Volunteer mods have no needle showing vote manipulation, nor a breakdown of new membership demographics
Kathryn Brightbill (@kebrightbill.bsky.social):
Yeah, and there's definitely propagandists weaponizing existing forum culture that acts like everyone's perspectives are equally valid as long as they say the right feminist language
