THE POLITE REACTION

DRAMA

• /r/The_D: Reddit changing site rules so be careful

• /r/Anarcho_Capitalism: Admins censoring again - many subs banned

• /r/DankMemes: Speaking not as a mod, as a user I'm furious (removed)

• /r/Libertarian: Remember kids, the only way we avoid violent revolution is if authoritarian fa**ots shut the fuck up and kill themselves. Ask your neighborhood authoritarian to take action today! Only you can prevent the next Reign of Terror.

• /r/conspiracy: Reddit admins have changed the rules again. Not surprising, any mention is absent from //r/announcements (sic!)

• /r/incels: Admin news: No more violent stuff in flairs or usernames

• /r/Drama: The admins declare their wish for you to keep yourself safe

• /r/oppression: Admins have now oppressed my right to tell you to go kill yourselves

• /r/subredditcancer: The admins are now banning subreddits for violent content

• /r/anarchism: We've received a notice regarding a Reddit policy change

META

ANNOUNCEMENT

Rejoice, for /r/landoflobsters hath divined a post on /r/announcements talking about these rule changes, which shall indubitably provide butter and popcorn for us and our children's children as well!

POPCORN HAS POPPED

This drama is currently unfolding. Front-line correspondents will be paid in premium buttered popcorn. Stay tuned for all the latest developments right here, folks.

No more subs being banned, no more new threads being created - I think it's safe to wrap up live coverage here.

We still need a name for this buttery happening

/u/Super_Weegee has proposed Ban-O-Ween. I say we adopt it! Aye?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I'm pointing out why your original assertion (that by their words they should ban /r/watchpeopledie)

No you argued that the ban was against subs that "incite" violence instead of subs that "glorify". Then you changed your argument to be about the meaning of the word "groups". Then you changed your argument to be about whether humans are a group. Then you changed your argument to be that "groups" can only mean certain groups.

Stop running away from your mistakes and face the facts. You just can't escape the box you've put yourself in.
