Indeed. The average user, especially women, does not enjoy having their boundaries pushed by an escalation of shocking (but not illegal!) and pornographic (but not illegal!) images, which you will get if you don't have moderation, and even a bit if you do. As proven by Slashdot twenty years ago.

Oh, and the plain spam. C1al1s spammers can fill your entire board if you let them.

> The average user, especially women,

It consistently amazes me that people deny the possibility that women enjoy pornography. On the contrary, a large amount, possibly even the majority, of pornography on reddit is posted and created by women. Some of them do so to make money, but a lot do it simply because they enjoy it.

Many women enjoy (for lack of a better word) gore, horror, and shock content too.

> does not enjoy having their boundaries pushed

Again to the contrary, the majority of people, especially young people, actively seek to have their boundaries pushed to one degree or another.

Having seen countless female gore/porn artists on social networking I’m not so sure how important of a problem it is... especially the porn part

Consent is important here.

Logged in just to thank you for your comment (which is 100% correct). So few people understand the role & importance of consent and your comment is appreciated.

Thank you!

There are many many people. As such, the fact that many people like something does not imply that the typical person doesn’t dislike that thing.
