The Rat Empire

What is the Rat Empire?

The Rat Empire is a community created by a former king and current moderator, u/RonTheRatKing.It was created as a safe space for LGBTQ+ people who like rats, and we proudly carry on that tradition. You may see the posts here commonly feature people dressed in effeminate clothing, but as long as you fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella or are an ally, you're more than welcome here.The subreddit is a place to share everything from selfies, memes, and art to more serious discussions, as long as it is appropriately marked with flairs. Some topics aren't allowed, so please read the rules.For fun, there are specific tidbits of lore and history on the Rat Empire. For example, while I am considered king, I don't see myself above anyone. I'm here to provide a good structure and environment for you to post.

Who is allowed to post?

What are flairs?

Post flairs allow everyone to browse submissions by category. User flairs are generally a good descriptor of what a user likes to do and serve as an achievement tracker, which is why they are often called "Jobs."You can find what each flair is for here:Post flairsJobsJobs will be used for events at a later date.
