Why would they ban a cartoon tv show subreddit for that?

THE EARTH IS LITERALLY DYING DON'T MAKE LIGHT OF IT, THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED.

BUT DON'T FORGET TO CONSUME PROPER PRODUCT

I think the benign cases just LARP because of shame. Which is sad. You shouldn't have to change your identity to feel accepted, and this is what being "cuckolded" looks like.

I would just simply tell those people not to internalize all of this shit: none of this is about them, technically speaking.

But the extreme cases want power, like Rachel Dolezal. And they're dangerous because they're sociopaths.

We need more sociopathic larpers, tbh. Let's make masculinity cool again by exploiting the giant loopholes in modern transgender ideology. Let's make the clown world meme magic come true.

No successful politician isn't somewhat sociopathic, after all.

Speaking of Dolezal, she's not the only transracial person. There's also Martina Big and some MTF sissy fetishists, lol.

You know, Reddit may have fucked up here with this new policy. Reddit is a private company in much the same way that the drug stores in Montgomery Alabama were private companies circa 1950. The argument for those drug stores was that as private businesses, they could choose who to give sit down service too at their lunch counters. For any reason. They never outright stated WHAT the reasons were (usually), but for some reason black people had to order take out only. When it became clear that the Feds were circling in using the 14th amendment, those stores that actually put up signs saying "whites only", simply took them down, but when a black person came in for some reason they still would not get service.

Which is something the civil rights act moved to address. In broad strokes it said even Private businesses did not have the right to deny service, if those policies inordinately impacted one race over the other. The 14th Amendment already made what these businesses were doing shady, but it was still "open to interpretation". Fortunately the 1960s were a time when Congress actually did things, and they passed a law that did the "interpretation" of the 14th Amendment rather then wait decades for the unelected judges to get around to addressing the issue. And bang, if you refuse service based on race or gender, you violate the civil rights act, which was formed under the auspices of the 14th amendment due process clause.

We now have a novel problem here with Reddit. They aren't ostensibly discriminating against any individuals race or gender. Anyone can sign up and use their "lunch counter". But what they are doing is explicitly differentiating based on race what the people can "eat" at their "lunch counter". Black people can buy the steaks, and shout "black power, fuck crackers!" But if white people try and buy the steak and say "fuck niggers", they get kicked out of the "lunch counter". White people have to content themselves with just the soup du jour, and agree that its fair for the black people to monopolize the steaks. They aren't outright being REFUSED service, but the services rendered are unequal.

The most important thing being that they are EXPLICITLY unequal. And that is what open the door here. You see, Reddit was not smart like the Montgomery Alabama drug stores were smart. When the carpet baggers and G men started sniffing around, they just took down the "Whites Only" signs and became "officially" open to everyone while in practice continued their racist ways. Which in turn forced Congress to act, because absent such explicitly stated discriminatory policy even the courts would have a hard time enforcing desegregation. They could get the Public Schools because they were Public. That was easy. Getting the private businesses? Not at all. They were private. Congress had to pass a law.

But Reddit was not smart like those drug stores. Reddit was dumb. Reddit didn't take down the "Whites not allowed" sign. They put one up where before it was just implied. The exact opposite of the Montgomery Alabama drug stores. Which means that with Congress unwilling to do anything, the courts actually can. Because Reddit has now codified discrimination into the use of their "lunch counter". It would still be a novel argument. But it could stick.

I got an idea, close down Reddit forever!

People actually think Orange man will save them? Blumpf will make another vague pronouncement from the cuck bunker and that will be it.

People keep saying one of the good things about reddit is at least you can get help on various topics but is that actually true?

Logged in to my account for the first time in about 6 months, had a look at posts I made. Maybe I've just been really unlucky but any time I've had questions I'd get half answers or downright retarded gibberish.

You-Pls recommend pc case with DVD drive as I use them still.
Reddit-Here is a good one.
You-doesn't have DVD drive?
Reddit-a what now? No one uses those you loser.

Tends to be the bigger subs though, maybe smaller communities have lower concentration of tards and are more helpful, I don't know.

I asked a question in a smaller subreddit, and I got an actual answer from it, plus the regulars were very friendly about it. Probably due to it being a bigger sub.

I can agree with that, it's why I said my 'fun' reddit account is dead. There's still value in the website, just not if you go to popular subs, and definitely not if you want to talk about unpopular opinions. It's like a fancy restaurant. I eat like a pig at home but if I go out I'm gonna mind the way I act, even if it's not really who I am.

redditors after r/bigchungus is banned and there’s no more keanu wholesome 100 breathtaking chungerinos

 

[queerape]

If you’re going to ban harassment based on identity, ban it for everyone. It’s not equality when you can’t lift a finger on poor oppwessed minorities while it’s open season on cishet white men (who are normal human beings too). That’s revenge. Shitty behavior is shitty behavior.

Doing a bit of research and I just discovered something: you can hover your mouse over where it says "Banned X years ago" and it'll show you the exact time & date when a sub was banned.

Doesn't seem to be perfect, though. They banned r/niggers 3 months ago? What? I'm guessing just to update the ban description? But they originally banned that sub ages ago.

Quick question, are we supposed to be on the other side of the fence, or the side facing the viewer?

I have two major theories as to what actually caused reddit to grow shittier over time.
Ignoring the big picture for the moment (the worldwidesocjus revolution) I'm going to attempt to answer why reddit seemingly had a really hard time staving it off.

1) Edgelords use adblock

As a general rule the left-libertarian dudes who tended to be the majority of reddit ~2008-2012 were reasonably tech-savy and more importantly abhorred ads.
Many people point out that Reddit is now essentially an over-complicated marketing company, this meant that while the founders may have had genuinely good intent (which I doubt) they would still have little financial reason to support users like this.
I personally believe this spilled out into other areas, publishers switched woke not to "go broke" but to chase after the small amount of ad-revenue that could be gained from a less technically savvy audience that's less likely to use adblockers. I believe this is the mechanism that makes it not translate to other markets (Gillette).
This may be controversial but the social justice takover of reddit was a coordinated action. The "Fempire" (ShitRedditSays) was essentially the old againsthatesubbreddits.
This couldn't have gone unnoticed by the admins, and there were certainly accusations of admins participating but I hadn't come across any proof.

What is clear to me however is that they had a very solid incentive to "pick sides" when they had to make harder decisions.

2) Reddit tried to carry the torch 4chan passed it.

4chan created quite a legacy for itself of doing righteous raids all over the internet.This revealed how powerful regular people getting together to not only raise awareness but put very real pressure on people, organizations and institutions. Many subreddits tried to create similar enthusiasm to varying levels of success. Reddit had some advantages towards this kind of action in people could be more focused than you would find on the chans, but at the cost of it being much harder to get the ball rolling.
Those in power couldn't tolerate the proles on the internet getting uppity so I believe Reddit was explicitly targeted for a massive astroturfing overhaul.
I think it also explains why there hasn't been much of a "replacement Reddit" you can no longer create a site that stands against the progressive order without getting Gab'd.

The entire right/left fight online is only a small skirmish in the war on human liberty that is going on.
I really like the quote "World War III is a guerrila information war with no distinction between millitary and civilian". It seems to describe daily life more and more.
The opponents of this corporate-anarcho-tyranny will always be slandered so the hope of "winning the argument" on corporate controlled platforms is a joke.

Encourage your friends to leave Reddit, Facebook....ect there are alternatives, but with how things seem...there are real practical things we all need to do to prepare.

Orange man will save us because if he wins re-election he'll make the 50% climb way higher just by doing nothing alone.

It's an homage to the Pepe border meme.

The 150 mil from Tencent didn't hurt. But reddit was already gone by that point
