In reply to the discussion: Misogynist Trolls Have An Agenda, And It’s Not Lulz [View all]LittleBlue
(10,362 posts)Look at how many precious souls inhabit DU.
Someone above mentioned two posters who were "chased off" DU. lol. They got their fun by making inflammatory threads. When they hit a nerve, they exploited it by making thread after thread that inevitably end in flame fests. Then the pro trolls turned the tables with boob threads, Femen, and other topics that riled them. They cried misogyny, but the admins weren't having it, knowing full well what they'd been up to for months. Their group demanded action in the form of bans for members and topics that they disliked. When they didn't get their way, they left in a huff, claiming DU was a cesspit of sexism and misogyny.
That's the truth of DU and the internet in general. Those who take it too seriously end up disappointed. At heart the internet is a free-for-all, and those are the terms you accept by browsing it unfiltered. If that upsets you, then it isn't the place for you because others will quite easily sense this and exploit it.
