How to target Reddit's advertisers so they know what they're supporting

submitted by AboveBatman from self.GenderCritical

I disabled my Adblock and scrolled to note every promoted post, here's the list with contact info when I could find it:

Those are just a few minutes of scrolling, I'll add more as time passes, feel free to add your own as well. The big brands aren't reachable unless you feel confident enough to call them out on Twitter, please do if you can (especially Steam and Microsoft)

The idea would be to send something like:

"Hi, I've noticed you advertise on Reddit. Reddit is currenly conducting a site wide purge of women's voices. A lot of subreddits were banned, including ones for lesbian, for PCOS sufferers, etc.

This is all being done based on a new rule against promoting hate. Those subreddits were not promoting hate and a lot of women's voices are being silenced, harrassed and their erasure is being celebrated by Reddit.

Women aren't allowed to have a women only space anymore without being called bigots.

Lesbians aren't allowed to have a subreddit that doesn't allow biological male anymore.

LGBT subreddits that are right-wing or don't abide the accepted narrative are being banned as well.

Is this something you support ?

Is the erasure of women's safe spaces and voices okay with you ?"

I would also add something about the rape fetish, forced impregnation fetish and similar subreddits. There are so many porn subreddits full of the hatred of women (or at least of seeing women as a wanking aid only), yet they are allowed to thrive. That's because they show that the bans are not about hate at all, just about the wrong kind of "hate."

That's a very good point, you can send whatever you like anyway, my text was just an example

Also let advertisers know that Reddit is silencing women of color, due to the gc_woc ban. Not a good look in these racially divided times.

This would be a pretty good idea, but I doubt it will work for most brands unless there is an uproar.

That's why I posted here, we need to send mails to them, a lot of us need to do it for it to work
