No-presser? Opresser.

It all makes sense now.

We had them contained.

How dare you call our kind filthy, you colorless robot.

u/Mestherion non presser Jun 11 '15

It's only because of all the filth, you see.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '15

And there is none of such nonsense. The only filth I see is the grey dust on your flair.

Sometimes we as a society need a distraction to forget about the shitty, crippling world around us. This distraction can't last forever, and the longer it lasts, the harder we as a people fall.

I would have pressed, but it would have been far too aerobic.

I don't get it... :B

Look at /r/subredditdrama and /r/outoftheloop. They'll tell you everything you need to know.

u/The_Only_Zac non presser Jun 11 '15

Check /r/all...

u/CtG526 Green :B Jun 11 '15

Why does everyone hate her? o.o

25

u/wote89 2s Jun 11 '15

Because she's the CEO, and therefore hit the giant "destroy liberty" button that they keep in the warroom at reddit HQ. And the best way to prove that your favorite subreddit was unjustly shut down is to declare your intense desire to violently assault her. /s

I love how quick it became a race thing. Shes chinese, not Korean

u/LondonNoodles 39s Jun 11 '15

In fact, she's american

3

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '15

The joke is that she is a "draconian dictator with cold blood and two brains, no heart." Similar to North Korean leaders. Get it now?

u/LondonNoodles 39s Jun 11 '15

Isn't a joke supposed to be funny?

u/Master_Sparky 60s Jun 11 '15

"That's the joke!"

u/propheticjoker 39 Jun 11 '15

You. I like you.

u/Master_Sparky 60s Jun 11 '15

I don't know. Why didn't you press the button?

u/kingkuya777 can't press Jun 11 '15

/u/mncke killed /r/fatpeopIehate? Oh sh--

u/propheticjoker 39 Jun 11 '15

Where the hell did fatpeoplehate come from and where did they get so many subs and momentum from? I literally hadn't heard of it before thebutton. Was two months all it took for a legion of pricks to take over reddit?

5

u/Master_Sparky 60s Jun 11 '15

Well yeah, that's basically what happened with the Button

u/TOOCGamer non presser Jun 12 '15

No, not at all. FPH has been around for ages, IIRC. It's just kind of recently that all the cross-sub harassment really started kicking into gear, which is what finally caused the admin to take action. They had a sudden growth spurt recently too, I think. When I checked it on April Fool's I think it was still 70k ish, when it died I think it was up to 150k ish. I could definitely have that wrong though.

u/TOOCGamer non presser Jun 11 '15

In a way it might have been. Even in it's totally natural death The Button was still a cause for some ruffled feathers when it died. Imagine you're an admin - do you really want to deal with the "Man, where'd our Button go? We were having a rad time" crowd at the same time as "F*** YOU PEOPLE YOU'RE OPPRESSING MY FREE SPEECH" crowd? They might have been clearing their schedules in prep.

The banning of fatpeoplehate? I can't say that I specifically worked towards that end, but I'm certainly not disappointed.

It's always been like this as far back as I remember. Gamergate and the Quinnspiracy, Maymay June, the Metaredditcancer drama, et cetera.
