There's certainly a white fraternity feel in a lot of reddits, so I can imagine how people can feel disconnect to it. But /r/shitredditsays, well... I was subscribed to it for some time, and the posts themselves do a good job at noticing really bad behaviour on reddit sometimes — but then I discovered the comments there, and I must say, it feels like half of the users of this sub are trolls who pretend to be THE worst strawmen feminists/SJW (I hate this term, but since we're talking about strawmen, I think it fits) ever. Just saying.

The SRS sidebar makes it pretty clear that the whole SJW façade is exactly that: a façade. They obviously have legitimate complaints but hyperbolise everything to poke fun at it.

They don't accept the "it's just a joke" excuse from their targets, why should we accept it from them?

the idea is to expose people to a "taste of their own medicine", for what that's worth.

Because there's no object to their jokes. It's just exaggerated humor not at the expense of anyone.

Except it is at the expense of people, so that's not true at all.

SRS are notorious for brigading and messing with peoples lives.

That doesn't make it any better.
