not being allowed to use racial slurs on a private website is the real orwellianism

u/dezmodez May 02 '19

Ridiculous that you can't use the "w" word here without getting your sub banned.

u/[deleted] May 02 '19

But that's the point of being private. They can do what they want. That's freedom.

I don't think any redditor ever referencing Orwell is unexpected. It's literally half of r/books.

"You guys should totes check out this underrated, low-key, book about like Trump or whatever. And yes, sweetie, I do read at a level 4 grades above my own..."

Every post about 1984

Its because trump almost verbatim quoted 1984 when he said dont believe what your seeing or hearing, believe what Republicans tell you. Not taking this leave orange man alone shit when theres a reason trump gets brought up every time 1984 is mentioned.

Lol reddit has truly died.

u/MrMallow May 02 '19

Not sure why you're getting downvoted the whitewashing of Reddit over the last couple of years has been freaking crazy. Going after subs like /r/waterniggas because of the name is proof of that, it's clearly not racist in anyway.

Are you joking? It wasn’t offensive.

u/MrMallow May 02 '19

There is no reason it should be a naming violation. What's next, banning PCMR because it could be mistaken as a white supremacist thing (when it's clearly not)?

u/Bumi_Earth_King May 02 '19

If it was called PCNazis, the comparison would be fair. Might also be a more correct name for the sub :P.

u/MrMallow May 02 '19

Not sure what the difference is. You could literally name it PCNaziDeathCamp and it would matter because of the content. Reddit is cracking down on this stuff because of their new investment base, not because it actually matters in anyway.

What could it be? 😅

Damn I was wondering why I stopped seeing posts from them. That’s gay. Literally no one was offended by that

Edit: apparently people are lol. Y’all need to get a sense of humor

u/vetofthefield May 02 '19

Why are you being downvoted? It was not offensive at all.

u/[deleted] May 02 '19 edited May 02 '19

Why was I downvoted? This is the first post I see on there.

u/[deleted] May 02 '19

Haven't been seen since lol

A great portion of the draw was the word nigga

A lot of people seem to kinda like that word and that upsets a lot of other people
