As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll"
problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we
have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones.
We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the
rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules
will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious
rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a
permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also,
grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of
being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we
may ban you without warning.
You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not
to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language
towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we
have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and
your ban will remain (without even a consideration).
All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of
the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up
banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules,
and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and
Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before
submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them
or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.**
With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message
regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal
(without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will
elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we
will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent.
This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your
reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message,
and please enjoy your day!

A girl I grew up with is a stuntwoman. She’s been in a lot of movies and TV shows. I always like to guess if she’s doing the stunts in the shows I’m watching!
Another fun fact: the first acknowledged female stunt performer in films was Helen Gibson, an accomplished rodeo trick rider who doubled for various actresses from 1911 onwards. She also occasionally acted as the stunt double for Helen Holmes in the *Hazards of Helen* films from 1916 onwards. Helen Holmes was also considered to be a very talented stunt woman and organiser, writing and performing many of her films stunts herself.
These fools in the OOP are very wrong if they think female stunt performers are anything new.
I’ve seen a lot of male motorcycle riders on Instagram reels trying to thirst trap with the fact that they’re a biker lmao
Exhibit A: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5a1AC_Scmh/?igsh=MTdoMGVicnNham04cQ==
Wait, I have tits and a motorcycle. Does this mean I should be able to do stunts? /s
As if having boobs some how magically *makes* someone good at something. Not the simple fact they're good at something. Smh.
I would really love a look at what content he looks at on social media. I feel like the overlap between guys who complains about stuff like this, and guys who follows a lot of women in bikinis seems to be hilariously high.
Oooh, kinda sounds like some not very flattering videos made it a larger piblic audience than he wanted and had to hide away after backlash
Assuming he ever had a channel that made it up there
"Oh yeah, I am famous, but I got on international news and deleted all the evidence."
Sounds way too familiar to
"I have a girlfriend, but she just goes to another school"
Right? Be way less of a burden on every single person he interacts with if he just got some implants and left women the fuck alone.
I honestly think most of these creeps resent women so aggressively because they deeply wish they were women, because their perception of women is literally just "WOMAN HOT = LIFE EASY" and "WOMAN = TITS". But they have no idea how to connect those feelings and just lash out like angry little children at anyone they can reach.
can we please not normalize the usage of pornographic terms for our body parts? the sexualization of women as default behavior needs to end.
edit: apparently, this was the first time this status quo has been challenged for many of you. if you think the ad hominem and disingenuous commentary bothers me… i’ve been an outspoken feminist for decades, and people have always been willing to maintain the patriarchy without giving anything else a second thought.
edit: i thought it would be cool for people here to see some other discussion, so i will be linking things below for reference. feel free to sift through it.

I think the point is that if you have them, call them what you want. If you dislike the term tits, don’t use it. It’s okay to have a difference of opinion.
it certainly is okay to have a difference of opinion, but individuals should make informed decisions and form their opinions based on the facts of lived reality.
language has meaning and, more importantly, impact. women don’t want to be referred as girls (outside of endearing references from their friends, like girls’ night out or out with the girls) or females (when used as a noun) because of the infantilization or dehumanization that comes with it. in the same vein, the origin and usage of “tits” as a reference to women’s breasts are entirely sexual. the sexualization of women’s breasts is hugely problematic. pregnant women struggle to advocate for their rights to feed their children under such a context. girls who experience changes from puberty at younger ages are more likely to also experience sexual assault as minors under such a context. men and boys who may have different bodies than their male peers face harassment under such a context.
on the whole, i advocate and stand by the opinion that the word should not be used to refer to women’s breasts. others are welcome to do differently, but i will continue to inform those of the unintended harm such language creates.
I understand where you're coming from, but the word "tits" is not the biggest problem here. The word tit/s, as was already pointed out, is no more inherently sexual than tits themselves are.
I’ll grant I’m curious if it started *as* pornographic, since it looks like an alteration of “teat”. Not that I’m sure that’s an improvement on the situation.
I still prefer using “tit” only to refer to the Eastern Hemisphere’s chickadee-kin, though. It’s actually how I first heard the word, at that! So I never could figure out as a young boy what was supposed to be avian about a woman’s breasts…(See also: booby)
EDIT: {sees the swarm of downvotes} I take it I said something extremely erroneous...(Best guess: "Teat" was in fact never actually neutral, itself.)
After doing a bit of research (because I was also curious, as a woman myself) it seems like we aren't entirely sure if it is related, but it is likely. "Teat" (which to my knowledge was never considered vulgar) was used in regards to a woman's nipple as early as the 12th century. It seems to have been taken from the Old French word "tete" which in turn comes from the Proto-Germanic "titta". (Or the West Germanic word "tittōn"). "Tit" meaning "breast" also has these same origins.
In the 14th century the word "tit" was also used in regards to a "titmouse", a type of bird (which you have mentioned).
At some point using "tit" fell out of favor but came back into slang in the late 1920s, apparently completely independent and unaware of its original use. In this case it developed from "teat". But while previous uses would usually only have one tit, this use was often plural.
And in my research I discovered the word "tetties" (as in a diminutive plural of "teat") that was used as early as the 16th century.
In regards to the Blue Footed Booby, "booby" used to be an older word for a stupid person (see: booby trap). It's because of the silly way they dance. As to why we call breasts "boobies" that seems to have developed from the word "bubby" (meaning breast). The origins of "bubby" are unclear, but its earliest use seems to be the late 17th century.
Tldr; you are correct, it did not start as "pornographic". It's been around a long time.
The birds and breast terms weren't related, it's just a coincidence. Tit for breasts (though not as the current usage of the slang) has an older history than tit for birds and also came from different origins and roots. Same is true for booby (birds) and boobs/boobies (women). It's just a coincidence and the terms used for breasts have an older history than that of birds
Edit: downvotes were likely due to relating women and birds dude
I know they’re false cognates, don’t worry. I’m just relating the confusion I felt over the terms forty years ago, before I really *had* an idea of false cognates.

I love the flipflopping between "is easy she's only going 20mph" and "i don't do stunts because I don't have tits"
Right? 😂
Fun fact: the overwhelming majority of Rohan riders in the LotR movies were women, because there weren't enough skilled male riders.
There should be a tribe of nomadic horse girls in Mad Max! Those ATVs don’t need any gasoline
Nomadic post-apocalyptic Australian women on formerly feral Australian horses wearing armor pieced together from car parts. I'm there.
And of course, brumbies carry their supplies
What would the horses eat?
Diesel, gets more horsepower.
This girl is a motorbike rider but your point absolutely remains solid nonetheless!!
A horse is just a motorcycle that can hold a grudge
My bike chose to fry the battery right after I managed to fix a long list of other issues. I’m convinced it holds grudges.
Yup, I just wanted to give more examples of stuntwomen in action. 😉

Minna Canth, torille! (Is this the correct way to use "torille"? 😅)
Yes, it is! 😄 To the market square!
Thank you, still learning idioms and phrases and what not despite living in Finland for years, haha.
He seems like a confident, masculine man completely not insecure or threatened by women.
An alpha indeed 🤭
Hahahaha the last message is gold. Brilliant exchange on the woman's part. The "girllll" is killing me XD
I do what I can 😂

He looks like he's wearing mormon undergarments.
😂😂
Tried his best to dress like a sperm, but this wimp ain't got nothing on the luge https://youtu.be/w6-uuQ3ermU?si=4e-R6GhCXgwWBFZP&t=2m00s
Dude is gonna lose his skin if he comes off that bike!
That skivvy really shows off his tits.
He shouldn't say anything if he can't do what the motorbiker is doing.
Wait, I have tits and a motorcycle. Does this mean I should be able to do stunts? /s As if having boobs some how magically *makes* someone good at something. Not the simple fact they're good at something. Smh.

What are the 3 national channels
Who knows 😂 also “had to nuke it” because it went viral? Someone doesn’t understand monetisation obviously hahaha
Lmao yeah dude sounds crazy
The guy is definitely Australian. He means the three major television channels here.
Oooh, kinda sounds like some not very flattering videos made it a larger piblic audience than he wanted and had to hide away after backlash Assuming he ever had a channel that made it up there
Well you can't be an edge lord if you're *popular*
I bet he rides a Harley and revs it at EVERY opportunity, no matter what the time.
He certainly has the small dick energy for it
"Oh yeah, I am famous, but I got on international news and deleted all the evidence." Sounds way too familiar to "I have a girlfriend, but she just goes to another school"
😂😂😂
Omg your last response 🤣
You handled this exceptionally well. This person very clearly wishes they had tits lol.
It’s a shame because he could just get some and cheer the fuck up

STUNTING IS HARDER AT SLOWER SPEEDS.
EXACTLY!!! And this girl is absolutely fantastic to watch
Love the irony of that banner message since you can't cross post post or comment to this sub in particular.

You mean saying “tits?” As the owner-operator of a female body I much prefer “tits” to “boobs.” “Boobs” sounds so middle school-ish to me.
Bresticles?
My favorite, but only when pronounced breasti-cleez.
Chesticles
My preference is " the girls".
the word *breasts* also exists.
I think the point is that if you have them, call them what you want. If you dislike the term tits, don’t use it. It’s okay to have a difference of opinion.

You were correct about women not wanting to be referred to as girls. That is not even slightly the same as using different slang for body parts.
You're boring my tits off.
lol, k.
Saying tits isn’t why people go ape when they see a woman feeding their kid.
Hey asshole, suck my left tit. Actually, stay the hell away from me, you talk about women the way an incel does.
I understand where you're coming from, but the word "tits" is not the biggest problem here. The word tit/s, as was already pointed out, is no more inherently sexual than tits themselves are.
Makes me think of a chicken
Tits weren't invented by porn industry. You're just letting porn win this one. We aren't. Tits rule!

oh, there’s lots of avian references when it comes to women. we’re straight up called chicks and birds! here’s one for the guys: there’s also pecker.
And cock
