(I think the creepshots subreddits probably should have been banned earlier)

There's good evidence that some of the creepshots were just regular photographs taken from existing websites, sometimes cropped or mirrored, and then given a new context. Some of this was done just to troll - linking a local meet subreddit to a creepshot group could generate a lot of anger.

People being angry about photos is one thing; real life information about people can lead to devastating witch-hunts and intense campaigns of harassment.

So I guess I can see why Reddit bans one, but not the other.

Sure, some of the creepshots and other things might be other photos. Doesn't mean all aren't though, one must address that.

Sexualized photos of people taken without their consent is bad. The very fact of taking sexualized photos without consent/knowledge (e.g. upskirt photos) is harassment.

Witch-hunts can be a problem. People violating privacy and harassing people and then avoiding any consequences is a problem too.

So I guess I can see why Reddit bans one, but not the other.

The cynic in me thinks it's because of the general gender of who's affected.

Oh yes, I agree.
