  1. Who are SRS? MrSkellyton !!pGwQU4qZI3a 03/01/13(Fri)17:12:11
  2.  
  3. SRS is a internet group on Reddit (R.e.d.d.i.t currently word filtered) called Shit Reddit Says. Their stated purpose is to highlight examples of bigotry on Reddit... the truth is more interesting.
  4.  
  5. 1.
  6.  
  7. In 2007 anonymous raided a website called WomensSpace. A feminist on the site called BitingBeaver had found her young teenage son masturbating and according to her feminist ideology this made him a rapist who deserved to die.
  8.  
  9. Anons (being mostly male teenage chronic masturbators) found this unacceptable and a small online war broke out against her,the website and pretty much every feminist blogger online.
  10.

  12.  
  13. This had an unforeseen consequence though. Some of these feminists were impressed by anons show of strength and decided to hang around. They migrated to the Something Awful forums and became a goon clique.
  14.  
  15. 2.
  16.  
  17. Something Awful is now mostly know for their EVE gaming clan (http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/04/28/nowhere-is-safe-in-eve-online-as-goonswarm-suicide-bombs-galactic-trade-hub/) but they used to be a real force. Many of the most impressive stunts performed by Anonymous were actually perpetrated by goons.
  18.  
  19. Goons had a much smaller user base but they were more technically minded, they organised on the IRC networks and used the vast swarms of /b/tards as shock troops.
  20.  
  21. When they found Reddit they initially intended to do a similar thing and insider goons claim that they intended 'Shit Reddit Says' to be a way of griefing Reddit users. This didn't work out the way they expected because the majority of the goons who were convinced to join the new SRS group were the feminist/goon hybrids created in the BitingBeaver raids.
  22.  
  23. A few of the early members just used leftwing rhetoric to annoy ordinary Reddit users,but the number of SRS members who actually BELIEVED it outnumbered the trolls.
  24.  
  25. 3.
  26.  
  27. The new Reddit group established a name for itself by trolling people in a peculiar way. They would harass and attack ordinary users but then claim they had the moral high ground because they were 'bullying the the bullies'.
  28.  
  29. They do this by using cultural marxist arguments. They claim that prejudice is 'bigotry + power' and define power as 'being a straight, white male' So even though what they are doing seems to be exactly the same as the bigots they say they hate it's 'OK', because they are doing it to straight people, whites and males.
  30.  
  31. http://www.redditredditreddit.com/r/SRSsucks/
  32.  
  33. When forced into a comer they also fall back on the argument of satire. They claim they are just trolling and not attempting to be serious at all, it's just a light hearted practical joke.
  34.  
  35. Reddit users come from a different demographic than 4chan users, and this was their first experience at trolling, at lot of them wanted to join in and SRS snowballed in a big way.
  36.  
  37. SRS now has 33,451 members.
  38.  
  39. 4.
  40.  
  41. SRS vs /r/ainbow
  42.  
  43. Reddit has a large population of traps and gayfags, most of these actively oppose SRS.
  44.  
  45. This is because SRS has managed to gain control of the LGBT Reddit subforum, the way Reddit is set up means the mods have a great deal of power. They can ban users for no reason, delete posts and change forum rules.
  46.  
  47. SRS used this power to enforce their ideology, which included a privilege pyramid of oppressed groups and a list of acceptable language. Anyone who disagreed was attacked for being 'tools of the patriarchy' leading to the fucked up situation of straight SRS members accusing gayfags of being homophobic misogynists and banning them from their own forum.
  48.  
  49. Most traps and gayfags left and set up a new forum called /r/ainbow. This now has 19,876 members.
  50.  
  51. 5.
  52.  
  53. SRS vs Male Rights Activists (MRA's)
  54.  
  55. MRA's are a lose collection of people dedicated to gender equality, unsurprisingly feminists and SRS hate them.
  56.  
  57. The central concept of MRA's is that society is not equal and in some areas (genital mutilation, education, health, reproductive rights, legal rights, social protection) men suffer a disadvantage.
  58.  
  59. This threatens feminism on 2 grounds. First because every step towards equality MRA's take is a privilege women lose, more importantly because it threatens the feminist world view that women are 2nd class citizens in a patriarchy. (In feminism any situation where women have an advantage over men is actually a sign of how women are the victims of benevolent sexism)
  60.  
  61. SRS set up a Reddit subgroup called 'against men's rights' and proceeded to attack MRA's from there. It also began to dox MRA websites outside Reddit.
  62.  
  63. The big attack came from an unexpected angle, a group called the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). This is an old school civil rights organisation which is used as an information source by law enforcement and the media.
  64.  
  65. The SPLC declared the male rights movement to be a hate group, basically wanting equal rights puts you at the same level as a KKK member. SRS actually managed to convince the SPLC to do this... unbelievable, yet true.
  66.  
  67. http://www.actuarialoutpost.com/actuarial_discussion_forum/showthread.php?t=236259
  68.  
  69. The SPLC later released a statement saying it was just a 'warning' but the damage was done.
  70.  
  71. 6.
  72.  
  73. SRS vs lulzsec
  74.  
  75. Lulz Security were/are a hacking group who became big in 2011. They were mostly griefers who enjoyed fucking with corporate websites but also indulged in some 'hacktivism' supporting wikileaks.
  76.  
  77. A SRS member called Laurelai managed to work herself into the group. (I'm using the gender pronoun 'she' because it's polite)
  78.  
  79. https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Laurelai
  80.  
  81. Once there Laurelai demanded that lulzsec start attacking SRS's own enemy list, when lulzsec refused she tried to blackmail them, and when that didn't work Laurelai told the FBI who they were and handed the feds lulzsec chatlogs as evidence.
  82.  
  83. 7.
  84.  
  85. SRS vs Occupy Wall Street. (OWS)
  86.  
  87. OWS was a protest against corruption in the financial industry and income/wealth inequality, at least it started that way.
  88.  
  89. When the OWS movement was starting up SRS managed to gain control of the social media sites which the protesters used to organise.
  90.  
  91. The control of these allowed SRS to push their own ideology onto the movement and ultimately destroy it. One of the things they introduced was 'the progressive stack, this a an organisational tool which discriminates against white straight men in favour of the people on the SRS privilege pyramid.
  92.  
  93. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_stack
  94.  
  95. SRS's attempts to control OWS and change it from a economic protest into a SRS style social justice movement made organisation impossible as any attempt to create coherent goals or leadership was 'oppression'.
  96.  
  97. The lack of leadership, combined with the active discrimination against men, meant that OWS disintegrated.
  98.  
  99. 8.
  100.  
  101. SRS vs /pol/
  102.  
  103. /pol/ is SRS's latest target.
  104.  
  105. SRS is attempting to gain moderator status on /pol/, they think getting this will give them a platform to spread their ideology to the 4chan user base and enhance their reputation online.
  106.  
  107. SRS has been shitposting on all boards across 4chan since December 2012. They then use these threads created by their sock puppets as evidence on /q/.
  108.  
  109. /q/ was set up to discuss 4chan itself and offer constructive criticism, if you go to /q/ now you will find at least half the threads are dedicated to modding or deleting /pol/.
  110.  
  111. They hope their actions will force Moot to appoint them as mods or delete the board entirely and set up a new one which they could become mods on.
  112.

  114.  
  115. More reddit history:
  116.  
  117. SRS had their largest victory in taking down r/creepshots, a subreddit wherein people would post (usually) lewd pictures of women they took (supposedly) without the knowledge of the woman. Generally the reddit higher ups don't give a flying fuck about the content of your subreddit, but seeing as SRS has slept their way to the top of most mod-lists on the site, they were able to get creepshots pulled
  118.  
  119. There were several people upset that not only could reddit just delete entire communities when there's no proof of wrongdoing, but also with SRS leading a campaign to dox the people running the subreddits they don't like (it was a successful dox in the creepshots scenario). SRS has gone on to label these people as MRAs, in an attempt to make MRA a dirty word
  120.  
  121. 10. (MrSkellyton again)
  122.  
  123. >>10772367
  124. >Didn't SRS also gain control of r/communism ?
  125.  
  126. They control the LGBT, Feminism and anti-racism reddits. It's nicknamed the 'fempire'.
  127.  
  128. They also have a large influence in the anarchism reddit.
  129.  
  130. >>10772374
  131. >Where is this stuff, for us all to see?
  132.  
  133. Check out Reddit LGBT board for more info.
  134.  
  135. I'll try and get screenshots of the specifics when I have time.
  136.  
  137. >>10772313
  138. >This is some brilliant work, Skelly.
  139.  
  140. Thanks
  141.  
  142. It would be helpful if other anons also post any other information they have about SRS.
