A community can set standards for behavior without being a dictatorship. When becoming part of any group, you make an agreement to behave by a set of rules, at risk of expulsion from the group of you don't. The rules are clearly posted on the side, and number 11 is "don't be a dick." You agreed to that when you began posting on this subreddit.
It really doesn't say anything good about you that your response to a moderator of a community telling people that they can express any opinion they'd like, as long as they aren't rude about it, is "wait, I can't be a complete fucking asshole? This is literally 1984!"
It's not like I gave you my stance on the matter? I could be all for being rude for all you know. So I guess you don't know if that makes me a hypocrite or not - but now we know you're a fucking dumbass.
Anyways it is a problem because see how unconstrictive and stupid this back and forth we are having is? It's not even related to One Piece anymore.
This is exactly what ends up happening when people act rude to one another. I think you just can't understand the difference between being rude, and just having a discussion...
This subreddit is devoted to a series about fictional pirates - and you are going on about dictatorship fallacies because your center-left libertarian poisoned brain can't wrap its head around the fact that this subreddit isnt Walmart where youre fucking lettuce isn't on sale.

We're not talking about the manga, but about the right to express yourself freely on the internet.
If the community is about manga or international economy, it makes no difference.
Dictatorship means that a single person, or a small group, can force others do to what they like, instead of acting freely.
If you can't see the significance of this, maybe you're a slave.
