Like I would post some highlights so people don't have to click the link but I don't even feel good about posting most of the names of the subs. They're just... awful.
Really. While some of them have clearly illegal content which goes beyond the topic of censorship there are LOTS of others a person that values the princible of free speech should have no problem with
Like Drugs, Guns, etc.
Then you have entire lists of subreddits that break the rules (harassment, hate speech, etc) but are deemed "acceptable" by the admins due to those subreddits breaking the rules against people that the reddit admins have deemed "acceptable targets"
I mean there were (and are!) large hate subs that stayed up for years and get no attention from the admins until it makes the news so I wouldn't necessarily take "hasn't been banned yet" as some kind of endorsement.
However, I think there's a lot of nuance when it comes to subreddits that mock "acceptable targets." The content might look superficially similar but the intent and impact are different.
A hypothetical subreddit /r/letsmockwomen serves mostly as a lightning rod for those who already hate women to have an excuse to let that out in a forum where it's "more acceptable" because the OP isn't just a woman, but typically a woman who's done something that, in isolation, is stupid and makes sense to mock. But the difference compared to /r/letsmockwhitepeople is that the replies will won't be "she's dumb" but "women are dumb." And that's the the idea that will proliferate, not "women are, like all humans, are capable of stupidity" which leads to real life consequences.
I think the inverse of letsmockwomen would be letsmockmen where in reddit both subreddits can be very toxic and promote violence however only one gets banned
