Reddit seems like it's composed of a bunch of angry libertarians butthurt about something only an MRA would complain about,  tumblr seems like it's composed of a bunch of angry liberals butthurt by something only an oversensitive marxist would complain about. Obviously the latter is better than the former.

Tumblr, of course. Reddit has a streak of nauseating, misogynistic conservatism that makes my skin crawl.

The majority of Redditors are not misogynistic creeps just as the majority of Tumblr users are not totalitarian segregationists.

Segregationists Huh

Plenty have come out against white people "appropriating" other cultures (which means it's wrong to learn another language or eat foreign cuisine) and consider a white and a nonwhite dating, or a "cisgendered" and a transgendered person dating to inherently be rape. "Can you not use the word "spiel" or other Yiddish words if you're not Jewish?" is the last one I heard.

"Can you not use the word "spiel" or other Yiddish words if you're not Jewish?" is the last one I heard.

That reminds me of an argument on another forum several years ago:

Extremely annoying poster who everyone hated: Dammit why does this show have to be at this venue? I hate that venue and refuse to ever go there.
Other poster: Why? What's wrong with it.
EAPWEH: The location. It's in a predominately African-American neighborhood and its a very innapropriate place to hold these shows.
Other: Uh, what? You don't want to visit black neighborhoods? You're racist?
EAPWEH: Not at all, in fact the racist action would be going there. We all know that virtually everyone who goes to these shows is white and this is quite different from African-American culture. This is another example of white America's cultural imperialism and imposing its value on minority groups.
Other: No one's making them go to the show. Not that they'd be unwelcome if any wanted to.
EAPWEH: That is not the point. You're bringing in white people walking around the neighborhood, getting drunk and wandering around, driving cars in with band bumper stickers and blaring such music out the windows, wearing band shirts, putting up flyers, it's a complete invasion of their neighborhood and culture. We need to accept that our music is an almost entirely white person thing and thus we need to quit invading other cultures with our's.

That's a very loose paraphrase obviously. Most of her posts were pretty nonsensical and so loaded with buzzwords they were virtually unintelligible and I don't mean in this thread only, I mean ALL of them. The other time she's known for was calling for a band to be boycotted for "degrading women" by including a picture of a decently attractive fully clothed woman on their latest album cover.

But of course as noted everyone hated this one person, considered her a f[inks]ing idiot and she was later ran off the forum and not representative of the people on it in any way. Same with anyone proposing similar views on Tumblr.

In that case, I'll have to go with Reddit. Wink

Both sites are too large and politically diverse to assign a single ideology to either

Is Reddit really libertarian? Most of them seem to support universal healthcare.

My main gripe with them is that despite their overall decent political views, they pretty much focus solely on the NSA/internet related issues. Not that those things aren't important, but it pretty much outweighs their focus on everything else combined, to the point where a politician who votes against the NSA but is otherwise far-right on everything else is an automatic FF, and vice versa. Of course, there's also the Men's Rights contingent which is horrible, but those are a pretty small minority.

Reddit is super racist and misogynistic. And not just in isolated fringe communities. Really gross stuff is routinely and daily upvoted to the top of the front page or the comment sections of various posts. There are some idiots on tumblr, but the vast of majority of tumblr is just normal liberal people running blogs about silly pictures they found online.

Normal people block out a good chunk of the default subreddits, particularly r/funny and r/adviceanimals.

As is the vast majority of Reddit, though its terrible people are far, far worse than those of Tumblr.

Okay, but the question is about reddit, not reddit minus the most popular and frequented parts of the website.

From a usability perspective I find Reddit far superior. Easier to find things, easier to navigate in general, easier to have an actual back-and-forth.

The people who hate Reddit remind me of the people who have some weird issue with TV Tropes.

having an issue with internet weirdos that obsessively post pages of examples where young females got their panties innocently flashed in tv shows isn't that weird

and no, i'm not making that one up

Oh I don't doubt that you're not making it up, but Reddit is so cleanly divided into different sections that it seems weird to me to take issue with the overall site. It's like saying you wouldn't use the internet because there are pedophiles that exist somewhere on it.

TV Tropes has been through a few revamps and the creepy things like what was mentioned have been cut from the site.

Wait, were there creepy pedophiles or something on TV Tropes? I must have missed that part.

This is what Mint was referring to: http://tropes.wikia.com/wiki/Innocent_Panties

The article has been cut from the actual TV Tropes site for obvious reasons.
