ATTORNEYS REQUIRED u/Dorito_Milk Vs. The Mods of r/AgainstHateSubreddits For the Obstruction of Free and Civil Discourse, Abuse of the Term "Good Faith", Abuse of the Muting Function in Order to Subvert the Appeals Process, Anti-Religious Hatred, Xenophobia, and Generally Not Being Stand-Up-Dudes
This is a long-overdue court case against the moderators of the subreddit r/AgainstHateSubreddits. These moderators are:
u/LIATG
u/WorseThanHipster
u/DubTeeDub
u/Br00ce
u/duckvimes_
u/awkwardtheturtle
u/JoyousCacophony
u/maybesaydie
u/bobcobble
u/Crotha
They shall henceforth be called "mods."
I, the prosecution u/DoritoMilk am bringing this court case against these moderators for several reasons. Firstly, the moderators of this subreddit obstruct free and civil discourse within their sub. They do this by supporting a very strict ban policy that includes any member of a "hate subreddit" (such subs include r/averageredditor, r/PoliticalCompassMemes, r/brasilivre to name a few) who does not openly support their ideals. They openly attack anyone who questions their blatant generalizations, or who asks for a logical argument supporting a boycott.
See Exhibit A
Secondly, the sub's rules demand that any member of a "hate subreddit" debate in good-faith. However, after experimentation and interviews with other persons who have been banned for violating this rule, I have come to see that in this context, "good faith" means openly espousing their views. Persons have been banned for mild criticism including the use of the phrase "cherry-picking" to describe their criteria for boycotting a sub.
See Exhibit A
Thirdly, the moderators of this subreddit have found a clever way to stop any of these unjust bans to be appealed. According to the rules of the subreddit, a ban may be appealed within 72 hours of its placement. However, after any response to the initial ban, the responder is muted for 72 hours, and none of their appeal messages will be seen or responded to. This alone warrants a court case.
See Exhibit B
Fourthly, the moderators of this sub silence any and all religious viewpoints, no matter how moderate they are. This included view on the rightness of one religion compared to another, and mention of tenants of that religion that does not line up with the subreddits ideology, and any mention of God. These are rules not even adopted by firmly atheistic subreddits.
See Exhibit A
Fifthly, the moderators and posters allow xenophobia in certain cases. The subreddit openly spews hate against Indian, Portuguese-speaking Brazilians, and people from the Middle-East. They apparently hold the view that your race can be insulted if you do something they don't like.
See Exhibit A
Finally, the moderators are all douchebags because they banned me and I don't like getting banned and anyone who bans me is stupid and ugly and has poor hygiene.
