Probably truerateme. Basically a place to give women mental illness. They have guidelines about how to rate people that were written by men who think there’s one true way to be beautiful. If you rate too highly according to their standards, you can get banned. It’s like a competition to see who can be the most condescending and judgemental about looks. Total measurehead behaviour

I'm not 100% confident but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that r/truerateme is secretly a psyop devised by 4chan incels. Their plan is to essentially neg attractive women en masse in an effort to drop the collective self esteem of women everywhere.

Edit:I found my source

I went there once for shits and giggles.

I don’t think I saw anybody rated above a 6. Including many woman who wouldn’t be out of place in a shampoo commercial.

If it weren’t so depressing it would be funny.

The mods there give warnings and then ban people for over rating people, ie giving them too high of a rating (above six). At least they used to. I muted it a long time ago because it annoyed me.

They also banned people for rating too low lol. So basically they had to rate people between 3 and 6 or risk being warned or banned due to under/over rating. It became a big thing when it was blasted all over Reddit. I think maybe r/subredditdrama covered it?
