And /r/196 is a leftist meme posting subreddit that is trans friendly.

doubt

Back when i still visited reddit, i got bullied pretty hard by them for pointing out that it's latently transphobic, assimilationist and toxic to shit on the way r/traaaaaaaa was inclusive of trans catgirl culture. They had an entire thread on how the memes on r/traaaaaaa were cringe and unfunny and it was full of latent bigottry like that. Made them sound like a bunch of chuds and truscums. r/196 also has a not insubstantial amount of chasers. Fetishizing us and talking about your favorite trans porn while dismissing the opinions of trans women as cringe isn't trans friendly, it is objectifying and shitty and r/196 can go fuck itself.

I only know about r/196 what I've read about it from other sources. You'll be happy to know we don't do that here. This is a trans friendly space.

heavy-handed moderation to keep it that way is a good idea. if someone engages in soft transphobia/chaser shit, warn and ban -- don't leave room for debates about how much trans positivity is too much.

I hope i can take your word for that, it's generally what i'd expect of a place called blahaj zone, too. I'm just voicing my own experiences with the reddit sub.
