When SRS first started out there was actually some pretty nasty stuff posted there. If you take a look at the some of the early "reddit or Stormfront" submissions there are quite a few that may genuinely leave you scratching your head (granted, many were also cherry picked and devoid of context, but that's a whole different matter altogether).

After this came a lull in activity until the sub was handed over to TRBO sometime in the summer of '11. Here's where things got interesting. All subreddits need content, especially ones that grew as quickly as SRS. Initially SRS was in no position to pick and choose what got submitted there. They needed poop and they needed poop bad, if only to keep up with the demands of the quickly expanding userbase (lest they end up dead in the water like /r/LadyBashing).

The bar for submissions then gradually became lower and lower as the sub got bigger and bigger until we ended up with posts that were barely offensive by any stretch and were more often than not chocked under the catch-all of "unsettling" rather than the more specific "-isms" in their sidebar.

The strict mod staff of the Fempire should've taken care of this by now, but they can't and it's their own fault. Rule X has effectively made impossible any attempt at even the most small amount of moderation towards submissions. After all, how can you nail a post for not meeting the guidlines of being "bigoted, creepy, misogynistic, transphobic, unsettling, racist, homophobic, or just reeking of unexamined, toxic privilege" if your own rules prohibit you from saying a post doesn't meet those guidelines? SRS has been, to put it pompously, hoisted by their own petard. They've fucked themselves over. The mods there may snipe comments left and right, but submissions are as much a free-for-all as any default.
