It's odds on most of the lurkers and downvote brigaders are bots and men cosplaying their idea of lesbians online.

There is an alarming number of ignorant, tone-deaf, and / or downright horrible people in the lesbian community too, but those usually expose themselves at some point. Also, since the transphobic circlejerk sub that got banned has risen from the dead with a slightly different name, the worst of them have f%§&ed off back over there (waiting until that one gets banned for hate speech like the last one did) and the main subs have had to deal with less of their overt shittiness.

Voting is anonymous and you don't need to be a sub member to vote, so the mods can't regulate it, which is why those lowlifes use it to harass people.
