I disagree.

They’re not about targeting a particular demographic, but they prowl reddit to find comments - some appropriately quoted, some taken entirely out of context - with the express purpose of producing something that will get the mob howling and spitting in fury. Bonus points if they’re angry enough to go to the source post and rain vitriol on the original commenter.

It’s a sub dedicated to chasing people with torches and pitchforks, protected from their garbage behavior because, if you take them at face value, they’re chasing bigots of various types.

They literally ban you if you post on the source post or even downvote it.

1. Reddit is a site where you can create endless alt accounts without any verification. That type of "ban" threat is meaningless.

2. Targets of SRS have been posting doxx and violence threats from its members for years.
