When I first discovered the /r/MGTOW subreddit a while back, I decided to do some research. Long story short, I got myself banned from that subreddit merely for putting my hand up as a gay man who's going his own way. That proved what I had suspected: it wasn't about men embracing a life of self-determination and self-actualisation, it was about men hating on women.
Those extreme-views subreddits are very easy to get banned from, aren't they? I got banned from both /r/The_Donald and /r/EnoughTrumpSpam. Wasn't trying to.

Reddit finally quarantined /r/MGTOW today, seemingly as a reaction to this report/article.
Of course. "Always reactive, never proactive" is the unofficial motto of Reddit.
For others like me who didn't know the acronym, apparently it's "Men Going Their Own Way."
The joke being that it actually stands for "Men Getting Triggered Over Women" since they obsess over women.

They're just jealous they can't go their own way as much as you are.
