(Dec 20 2025, 6:24 PM)dobby Off topic question btw, but by any chance, did anyone here happen to archive or screenshot any part of this Ovarit post? I'm kinda curious to see some responses in case any familiar names show. I had forgotten to archive this post lol.

I think you're spot on that this was the turning point of the website.

That the admins had to shut down ovarit during the election speaks volumes, how could any so called feminist support Trump? For a feminist site, just closing off registrations should have been enough to avoid any drama but the admins KNEW that there were Trump supporting people, in fact, ovarit was overrun by them in the lead up to the election. I remember threads talking about how it made sense to vote Trump because he knew what a woman was.

That time was wild. Tho in defense of the admins, they did say that during the election time, all of them were going to be taking a break/vacation/traveling or something, so they couldn't "mod" the site, so they just decided to close it down. I kinda don't blame them for that, like that place was a demoralizing agitated dumpsterfire during and after election time.

I think it got worse after the election cuz idk maybe a bunch of feminist women just gave up. I kinda did. I realized yesterday while talking to my sister that all that time I spent arguing with right-wingers was kinda wasted. It didn't change how fucked up and stupid our country was to elect a greedy conman who only cares about himself. I feel like in hindsight, that time would have been better spent forming connections and grouping up with women who actually believe things can be better and people can be good and decent to one another.

I do think girl_undone was put in an unenviable position where she had few mods she trusted and a website that had grown out of control at that point.

That said, let's just say you were unable to mod for a week here on CH. Technically it's the same sort of member recommends member system though there's an application too. Let's say it was the election of Trump. I'd be shocked to see any huge issue as no one here supports Trump.

For me, considering what GenderCritical started as, the fact that Ovarit was full of Trump stans by the end really was a sign that it had gone away from its radical feminist roots and become a site that was only trans bad. Which, I agree with, but I definitely do not agree that it means allying with people who think abortion is wrong, or electing a rapist is fine.

I can sort of excuse Vexxed as that is not the successor of Gender Critical but of Ovarit, and we all know what late stage Ovarit was, so none of us can be justified in entering it as a radical feminist, or at least a feminist zone, where no one can attack abortion, or defend people who attack abortion. Similarly, I don't think seeing LGBT are responsible for trans and the right wing pushback is something I'd expect from a r/GenderCritical replacement.

Weirdly enough CH is closer to a GenderCritical successor than Ovarit or Vexxed
