but no idea why removing this post warranted a hostile takeover

The Mods of r/minecraft are infamous for being absolute cunts when it comes to removing shit, but there are two key examples.
They removed a post from someone who managed to create a playable version of Minecraft in Minecraft with redstone. Why? because he had a ip to the server he built it on at the start of the video, in very tiny text in the middle of 1 paragraph in a 3 paragraph preamble

A few months later, a guy called Brendan would post to the reddit about how his Girlfriend of 5 years had died and she had left a unfinished build on their realm, and asked for suggestions for what to do with it. He would make a follow up post a few days later showing off a tree he had built within her unfinished castle. A unknown moderator would remove the post for breaking a few rules. Brendan would dispute the removal, and get the very tactful response of "You've milked your girlfriends death for enough karma".
5 to 6 hours after Phoenix posted his video, a Mod would post a apology regarding the situation, a very short one but a apology none the less. People were still really mad over what happened, and the drama wouldn't die off. (Note for anyone not watching the videos, Phoenix was banned 5 years prior to the Brendan situation due to alleged self promotion.)
11 days after the initial apology, the mods would announce some changes, and would suspend the mod who sent the message for 4 weeks. People still weren't happy at this point but the drama died off after this, probably because everyone got sick of it and there was no new developments.

During the June API protest, Mojang would leave the subreddit for their own website. While this happened during the reddit blackout/protest over the API changes, I can't help but feel like it was partly because of the drama magnet the sub was. Also something I noticed in the post you linked was that the mod who sent the "Dead Girlfriend karma baiting" response actually left during the incident, and the whole "4 week suspension" was probably a cover story so people wouldn't piece together who the mod was.

Nigger you're a janny who got together with other jannies to kick out another janny, nothings even changed. Just keep sweeping. Reddit mods always feel the need to make themselves sound so important.

Reddit faggots, which mods are the biggest of, always see everything they do or think about as just way more important and profound than it actually is. A coping device for a life with a actual important decisions something like "the can of tuna or chicken for mr fluffles today?"

The janny saw himself in that moment as the CEO of a factory or something, and it's in trouble, and the staff is all marginalized immigrant bipoc pregnant persons. "All of the executive staff are camped out at the motel 6 across the street, we're staying up all night every night and going to get you all not just the paychecks you've been waiting for but the upcoming winter solstice bonuses too!!!"

Also Willy Wonka was way much more of an asshole in the books. In the original version of Chocolate Factory they were literally African pygmies.

Giving how there are unrealistic details in their whole deal, I always figured out they were not normal pygmies, but vaguely paranatural "little people".

Anyone seen the deprogram sub? Theyre a "Marxist-Leninist" sub that bans anyone who questions todays intersectional dogma (Witch wasn't even around the time of Lenin). They have a hilarious automod response if you even mention George Orwell (I can't grab the whole thing)

Getting assmad about Orwell specifically is very telling. The Ministry of Reddit forbids such harmful texts. Orwell has always been problematic. We were always at war with Russia.

Also isn't it a kid's movie, why are they watching it without their kid in the first place?
Click to expand...
I would assume he's watching it to make sure there's nothing bad in there by his standards before showing it to his kid as he said. Since he's a vegan I'm guessing he wanted to screen the movie for any "animal abuse" as he sees it or any other material that he might not want his kid exposed to.

I must have missed this story. How did /r/whatifalthist get axed for "promoting hate"?
Click to expand...

Could be because someone made wrongthink Alternate History where the Inexorable March of Progress didn't get fully automated luxury space communism and instead people actually had interesting ideas.

Or maybe it was a subreddit for that one lolcow AltHistory youtuber whose channel is named WhatIfAltHist, Rudy something. He has a thread.

Rudy has some bizarre idea that the incels will eventually have some "We live in a society." moment and start some sort of incel guerrilla war. It's probably that.

I mean, historically, large numbers of single men in a society typically results in either a war to thin them out, or general social instability and violence as they turn to either crime or radical movements in the absence of the tempering effect of families convincing them they have nothing to lose and everything to gain from destruction of the social order.

Of course, all the historical examples come from societies where those men had some degree of practical skills and experience in manipulating the physical world, instead of onlyfans and funko pops, so I find the incel revolution to be significantly less likely than in previous generations.

I'd be interested in seeing the virginity stats amongst immigrants to the west in the same age range, though. If anyone's going to start burning things down because they're not getting laid, it's them.

Every incel I've ever met, of any nationality, was a useless, histrionic retard. I doubt we're in any danger from dudes who seethe about not getting any. Now, the people who decide to import cultures fundamentally incompatible with the US are a different story, but I think women will probably put two and two together and insist on some protective measures, a la Prohibition.

The “anti-communist” section of the anti-Orwell screed in that screenshot is plagarised from the review of 1984 written by Isaac Asimov, of SFWA thread fame. Asimov of course misses the theme of the book entirely and thus proceeds to excoriate Orwell for his failing to contrive a future incorporating what he supposes to be suitable scientific and medical gadgetry. He also, being a New York Jew and thus holding the political opinions of that class, manages to substantially underestimate the pernicious character of totalitarian communism. One wonders if he would today be one of those people defending Antifa as “anti-facist” and advocating for drag queens getting in proximity to vulnerable children.
