The anonymity it allows lets people express themselves without immediate consequences, even when their ideas might be extreme or harmful. Certain communities within platforms like Reddit and 4chan inadvertently foster such views, particularly those that are misogynistic. These communities provide validation for those with harmful beliefs, and the efficiency of the internet facilitates the rapid spread of these ideologies. Consequently, these online communities contribute to the amplification of misogyny in the digital space.
In r/degenerates, players are asked to participate in one of these digital communities by taking on the role of misogynistic male users on a shared online forum arguing for what makes the perfect woman. Players compete against each other to describe the most ideal woman and gain the most upvotes to win.
