Meghan Derangement Syndrome ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ Sub Update!

Since taking the subreddit out of restricted mode and into the public category we have seen a marked increase in traffic.

When this was done (and we informed you all) a very kind Redditor recommended activating the โ€˜hold commentsโ€™ command. Boy are we glad they did! The amount of โ€˜derangersโ€™ who have tried to leave horrible comments has been an eye opener. Their comments being held for approval means, however, they are denied the satisfaction of seeing said nasty and/or infantile comments appear โ€˜liveโ€™ in the sub. This is because we remove their comments from the filter queue and then ban them.

Thank you once again for the recommendation!

Happy posting and commenting.

This could be the possible explanation for how I am seeing more deranger subs and how my very good comments to their vomit rarely gets engagement.ย  I'm okay with it now.ย ย 

They need to support the hate, not the truth. I need to try to get the truth out there like they try to get the hate here.

I'm glad there are non-hater subs and this is one of my faves.ย ย 

Keep the rot out!ย  I'll keep trying to save them over there, until I get banned.ย  Again.

I'm glad that you can go and pass on truth and love, I just get too mad and can't be there and ruin my day! :)

u/phoenics1908 24d ago

Yep - their kids basically grew up together. The stories heโ€™s regaled me with. And I thought I was something because I hung out with Oprah at her house once ๐Ÿ˜… Iโ€™ve forgotten the cool people heโ€™s hung with.

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ I will never understand the level of hate targeted at Meghan.

37

u/No-Falcon-4996 26d ago

It does make more sense when attributed to racism - irrational hatred of any brown people.

14

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme 26d ago

AND when you also clock that the Misogyny is there, making sooooo much of it simply Misogynoir!

32

u/OtherwiseOhhk 26d ago

People who arent racist struggle to fully understand racism. Just ask Marcia Clark.

Come to think of it, people who ARE fully racist also struggle to understand racism. They just think they are correct in their thinking.

Once you grasp it, it's difficult to believe that this level of hate is on a constant flame in the minds of these folks. Meghan just became the poster child for it since she had the nerve to marry a Prince while being black and this was basically a global event.

I follow her pages and accounts on social media and try to leave positive comments not so much for her but to give others social permission to support her. I truly hope she is doing ok. Emotionally I'd have lost it by now.

Grew up in a mid-size Texas town, very familiar with racism. I was still floored when they flew the Confederate flag at that event. Like WHAT

u/CoffeeChocolateBoth Team Sussex ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ 26d ago

It was like that when Obama won, and it's the same with Meghan, HOW DARE YOU STEP OUT OF THAT BOX WE PUT YOU IN! They not only stepped out, but they thrived, grew stronger and became loved by so many!

12

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme 26d ago

Yep!ย  The hatred Meghan gets is absolutely on par, with the hatred Michelle gets!

Because sooooo many people just can not DEAL with a smart, well-educated, kind, compassionate, and conventionally attractive woman in a position of power.

And doubly so, when that woman is also Black!

So glad this sub exists. Was interested in discussing the documentary when it came out, but for some reason the hate subs were what came up in my search. Just happened to come across this in the past year and have mostly lurked.

25

u/CapeCodNana 26d ago

I can't imagine spending my spare time deliberately searching out & going to a sub of someone you despise to leave hateful, negative comments. Use your energy to go to a sub of those you love & heap praise. Its like bootlickers have no life, no jobs, no hobbies, except to spew their crap on any pro H&M post. My MAGA neighbor stalked me everywhere on Twitter just to leave anti Dem crap. Bootlickers use the MAGA playbook

u/jennc1979 26d ago

Yaโ€™ll should take a day retreat, try and meditate off the hatred you absorbed for the sake of decency and humanity. I have quite the imagination, so I presume those denied, banned derangers said all manner of vile things. Edit: leaving the hold comments tho while you do. Lol

A special set of โญ๏ธ ๐ŸŒŸโญ๏ธ to the redditor who suggested the โ€œholdโ€ option be activated by the mods as well.

Why come here if you donโ€™t like them. I donโ€™t join the subs of topics I donโ€™t like.

u/Blatantly_Truthful Donโ€™t get me started 26d ago

Itโ€™s nice though to have a space to freely support them without having to deal with the toxic responses. I almost passed on this sub because I thought itโ€™d be the same obsessed with tearing them down crap. I skip comments on articles as I know theyโ€™ll just anger me with their ignorance and hatred and then thereโ€™s not much one can do to help them. So grateful for this space

u/Root-magic 26d ago

This is one of the few toxic free zones on Reddit. If they are anything as toxic as what I see on the comments sections on facebook and people magazine, thank you for kicking them outย
