I honestly think that FDS is a psyop to ruin gender relations. I base this on my visits years ago where it was absolutely extreme. Like the content was beyond entitled woman. It was beyond psycho bitch. It was even beyond satire made by bitter men.

It was stuff like "red flags your date is a rapist: * if he doesn't look you in the eyes when he greets you, * if he does (not) mention his mother". It was stuff from a bizarro parallel dimension.

However recently it has become more moderate which I attribute to luring in real people participating in good faith, that are being influenced in a negative way.

FDS is pretty batshit.

It’s like the women’s equivalent of the incel movement, where each gender finds a way to dehumanize the other (in the case of incels, viewing women as sexual objects).

I saw someone running those 'correlated subreddits' programs and found a significant (although not the strongest) overlap with that sub and the now-banned r/femcels.

I honestly regret ever being shown it which is why I added the warning. It's among the angriest and bitterest communities on reddit and I wouldn't be surprised if it's quarantined within a couple years.

Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you. Do you have any other such places that you suspect to be a psyop?
