I don't think a lot of people understand what a huge contribution r/shitredditsays made to the current state of things.
At the time when Reddit was more libertarian, the redditor stereotype was this guy:
SomethingAwful had kind of a rivalry/hateboner for Reddit at the time, and r/shitredditsays had a long history of being controlled by goons. It started out as a way to make fun of stereotypical fedora-tipping redditors, but also attracted a bunch of Sarkeesian-tier feminists who wanted to harp on the "misogyny" of them. If I remember correctly, it was also one of the first big problems with power moderators, as many SRS mods weaseled their way into positions of power in other subreddits, where they proceeded to enforce social justice rules.
IMO, the turning point for Reddit was when they re-calibrated the default subreddits to remove r/atheism and added r/TwoXChromosomes. That was kind of point at which SRS had won.
