Be Kind

Avoid abusive language, hate speech, trolling, and threats of violence, even if they are obviously not serious.

Reddit has some very twitchy AI that will take automated action against your account that we have no control over. We know you don't have a volcano in your backyard, the AI assumes we're in the last days of Pompeii.

No Showcasing of Transphobic Content.

Not even on a Wednesday.

This is a trans-inclusive subreddit run by an entirely queer team and we will not tolerate transphobic content, even if it's to make fun of. We don't think it belongs ~~on reddit~~ anywhere at all, least of all here.

If you're determined to mock this behaviour, you can try r/AreTheCisOk, but be sure to read their rules first.

No personal information

Please remove the names and handles of individual people in screenshots before posting, unless the person posting is a public figure (for example, a Twitter account with a blue checkmark is OK) or your username.

Often just cropping the image neatly is enough.

There is no need to censor adult faces in photos.

No crossposts or other subreddit mentions

Crossposts will be automatically removed. Do not even hint at the source subreddit, and do not suggest that anyone visit another community and interact with content being critiqued here.

No Pictures of Children from social media

We can laugh at ridiculous clothing, products, and other ways in which the straights are weird, dysfunctional and heteronormative about children, but pictures from social media may have been used without consent or have been posted with an expectation of privacy.

Any images of children, real or illustrated, must originate from Film, TV, Billboard or other Print media that is of an SFW nature and not intended to arouse.

Homophobia is relegated to Wednesdays

This is not the place to document someone just being hateful or disturbing acts of sexualisation.

This is meant to be a lighthearted subreddit, and as such, we are here to laugh. Please only post content that is dysfunctional, self-sabotaging, or otherwise ridiculous.

"It's just a joke!"

Entering/hijacking a conversation with 'it's just a joke' / 'not all men' / 'well I wouldn't do that' comments are not allowed. We know the subject of the post thought it was funny, we know not all men would do that, we hope you wouldn't do that. Don't do this.

Politicians are not OK

Yes. We know. There are many subs dedicated to these people and the things they say. Ours is not one of them. No politics or political figures mentions.

No egregious reposting

Reposts in general are not outright banned, but please do not post an image that's already been posted three times today, or is among the top all-time posts on this sub. In cases of egregious reposting, the most recent post will be removed.

No spam or solicitation

Do not post links to products for sale, even if they are not your products. If you wish to share a strange product with the group, screenshot the listing.
