The Culture Of Reddit | Off Book | PBS

Warning: This episode contains mature subject matter.

Since its creation in 2005, Reddit has grown into one of the most influential communities on the internet. More than just a content aggregator, it generates information and new content, and has given birth to intriguing collaborative projects that reflect a particular group character and value system. The Reddit community has become so active that it has had an impact on recent political events like SOPA/CISPA. And like any real-world community, it also has its share of internal social issues, forcing it to grapple with its commitment to free speech and the lawlessness of the internet.

Featuring:

Alexis Ohanian, Co-Founder of Reddit
Blair Drager, Editor of The Redditor
Kevin Morris, Daily Dot Blogger
Stephen Bruckert, Memefactory Researcher
Dworkin & The other mod, Shit Reddit Says Moderators (appearing anonymously)

Fuck these feminist idiots, reddit has let me find a community of active misogynists and I can freely express my views without Marxist feminist bullshit shoved down my throat. If anything, reddit is on the forefront of free speech

It's satire. They're just behaving like the same sexist, racist, assholes who post elsewhere on Reddit...except they hate straight white men. At least in Prime. Elsewhere, they drop the act. They're horrible at it anyways. They forget they're supposed to hate men when a link about men being raped is posted. As a man who was raped by a girl, I appreciate it, but what's the point of the exercise to begin with? Most of Reddit thinks it's completely literal hate, and uses it to justify more hate.
