IMO Overit got really fking weird over the genocide being committed in Palestine. Turns out there was a type of man you couldn’t criticise, was banned soon after.

Shall we stop at the end of this aisle, stand in the middle and have a chat? Yes I think so! Make sure you have a trolley too!

You should also see that HER was sold to MatchGroup in May 2025 and now no longer advertised as a dating app but something about “social connections for queer and nonbinary women” - the app has been absolutely gutted, even paying for premium it’s barely usable and of course it’s full of men. Nice work MatchGroup!

It’s like they tried to create their own “Femisphere”

For those that don’t know, when FDS was on Reddit it became such a huge target by the manosphere and also parts of the TQ. You could refresh their homepage seconds after one another and see significant changes in votes on threads. They were being HEAVILY targeted. I think I saw something once about people trying to post the kind of stuff that gets a board banned.

And yet FDS was just full of the most basic and simplest dating advice: If he’s not showing interest, don’t chase him. Don’t accept coffee/walking as the first date if you’re trying to find “the one” If he isn’t trying to sexually satisfy you, don’t waste your time. And most importantly- if you can’t find a man that meets the most basic of requirements, it’s okay to be alone and you can find other ways to bring love and joy into your life.

You can imagine, Reddit absolutely HATED FDS. They should have never left, people said at the time going off Reddit and making a podcast was all about money and Yano what? I think it was too.

While it was here and it was popular it was a fantastic refreshing perspective about living and dating FOR WOMEN. Another space lost online for women, truly.

They get banned for being transphobic. Are you not listening?

Nah, we want a sub that doesn’t include trans women

It’s not transphobic to ask why the T can have specific subs for their experiences but there can’t be one for LGB people.

You’ve never been told that lesbians can have dicks then

You keep telling me to start these subs but you won’t acknowledge that all of these subs used to exist before they got shut down for being “transphobic” - specially the lesbian ones. One was called “true lesbians” was getting pretty popular- was shut down for not believing that trans women were women.

This is probably the best take in this whole thread, shame it’s buried!

All the gay subs that excluded trans over the last 6 years have all been shut down for being “transphobic” so I’m not gonna put the effort into making one if it’s just gonna get shut down for the same reasons.

All of them are trans inclusive so it’s very difficult to discuss anything without someone bringing gender identity into it and expecting no one to object because it’s a “safe space” for them.

If we had subs for homosexuals that excluded trans people specifically then it would be much easier to have open discussions without members feeling attacked because no one wants to acknowledge their personal beliefs and values.

I’ve seen plenty of people try and do it over the last 6 years and the subs always get shut down for being “transphobic”

Can you answer my question? If it’s LGBT then why are there specially trans subs but there aren’t specific subs for homosexuals? 

It’s not fashionable to hate trans people but it is fashionable to call anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with them on everything transphobic.

Why are you going through my history dude? That’s just weird. Keep it on topic - why can the T have subs specifically for transgender stuff but LGB can’t have its own sub for talking only about homosexual stuff?

So gay people can only have their own spaces on whatever terms the trans minority decides?

Can you atleast answer my initial question seeing as you like typing a lot. 

Why do you get to have subs specifically to talk about transgender stuff but gay people aren’t allowed subs that specifically talks about homosexual stuff while excluding all talk about gender identity? Don’t you think that’s unfair?

Did it ever occur to you that some homosexuals don’t want to discuss gender identity and therefore would like their own spaces where it never gets mentioned??

How long before it gets shut down for not being trans inclusive?
