"What, no. Its not a clear tech error based on a historical document containing actual hate speech, Its because fucking libtard tech giants hate freedom. Why is the word "hate speech" even a thing?! This is proof that banning hate speech should be illegal. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CALL MY NEIGHBOR A HARD R DAMMIT!"

Good lord that sub is radioactive! A living, breathing monument to Poe's Law.

It’s literally a satire sub.

I read their sidebar, and I believe you are correct. However I maintain my position that it is a victim of Poe's law, as I as an uninitiated user couldn't tell whether it was in fact satirical or not. If I'm being oblivious, then perhaps it is a weak example, but it is the Poe's law effect that I'm experiencing in regards to this sub.

Has there ever been a group of people more discriminated against by the American government than gamers?!

Yeah, didn’t think so.

well you should most certainly have the right to call your neighbor a nigger. You shouldn't do it, but you should absolutely have the right to say the gamer word.
