News from the Reddit trenches

absolutely upsetting to see /r/egg_irl (former queer-meme sub for people questioning their gender) on fire like that. TL;DR: Seems like the majority of eggs on that sub were unwilling to support the protest for more than a couple of days or move to other websites until the situation improves. Still protesting mods are under fire from the public. Mods currently have the subreddit open, but marked as NSFW and the rules were changed to allow for real-life (chicken) eggs only.

Yesterday, the mods made a pinned post (currently at negative karma 14% upvote ratio) announcing a vote that is being held (already was held? idk) The vote did not have the option to stop the protest. People Are shitting on the mods for taking over the sub.

I have not personally heard of anyone getting banned for violating the protest-rule. People do confess in their posts and comments to breaking the rule on purpose. Most of the complaints site "Missing their home/safe space" as the reason for wishing the protest to stop. Around 3.3% (10k to 300k) of users seems to have migrated to /r/Eggy_memes as of form of counterprotest.

As someone who is not going back to using reddit for the forseeable future, i dont have an opinion on the matter other than it just sucks from every concieveable angle.

Vote results as of 02/07/2003:

The other popular trans meme sub, /r/traa, remains restricted.

I am just curious, of the reddit migration, how many eggs have arrived here? Egg irl was a truly special place and I would love to see it rebuilt.

Back on Reddit, I kept seeing this character every time I wondered into r/egg_irl to the point I figured she was some trans icon I just wasn't aware of.

I've also seen her on here a few times and it's bugged me so much that I had to try figuring out who she is.

What I found was she's from a series called "Menhera Shoujo Kurumi-chan" which I think translates roughly to "My mentally ill sister Kurumi".

The images I keep seeing of her come from sticker packs in the LINE chat app.

So I'm just wondering if there is any particular association within the trans community or if it was a mostly isolated thing in r/egg_irl

I was too scared to post on r/egg_irl after the protest bc everyone was so mean and toxic during it so I overcame my meme block by scrolling through mematic templates and making a ton of memes

And by a ton of memes, I mean the same joke in several different templates

Making a TCG (ECG?) with @fluidkitsunestan and I'm pretty proud of this program I made (raw output above) that automatically creates cards based on a spreadsheet :D

For those interested: https://discord.gg/Y2xFheXrKU This is a vary queer project so do not interact if you're a bigot (and that means truscum and transmeds are NOT welcome either because they are transphobes)

(yes that is placeholder art)

Wonder how many other peoples had the "from Ben Shapiro fan to transgender" timeline

[cea-tide]

Just realised that the time I started questioning my gender coincides with around when I joined tumblr...

Coincidence? :3
