made a post to ask about some glasses frames. this weirdo came in pretending he thought i was trans to imply i looked like a man in the pic. anyway i find it weird that he named a specific sub like that and he probably has a fetish.

plenty of times i've had redditors come to snark and insult me for no damn reason but this is one of the oddest.

Context - There was a post about US conservative electorate dying at younger age due to mistrust in medicine. People instead of talking how to fix were celebrating and wishing even more dying, almost praying another pandemic arrives to anihilate entire population of voters.

If you ever read r/girldinnerdiaries it actually has some great posts on it. But the first time I posted a comment I was shocked. My comment was preliminary blocked. That's not unusual. Some reddits do that to avoid problems. I got the usual read the rules and be nice rules. 👍 Cool. And then they said "if you are a dude, please comment that you are a dude so we know" ???? What?

I thought about it for a moment and realized just how sexist and presumptuous that move was. I've been on loads of subreddits and was never asked to dox myself as a man. I responded, perhaps a bit harshly. "If you must know whether or not I'm a penis owner before you'll let me comment, then you might as well block me right now. I'm not going to allow myself to be tagged with a tracker because I'm a man."

I was promptly blocked from comments. Fine by me. I still read the stories posted and enjoy the comment section.

Out of curiosity I went searching for a men's version. Sure enough r/boydinnerdiaries is a thing. And they didn't ask me to confirm if I was a woman.

should we genuinely even care what people say on Reddit like I know not on x but genuinely I always try to respect others opinions but sometimes there just so negative just be happy with what you got
