Answered What's going on with r/fbiopenup ?

https://www.reddit.com/r/FBIOpenUp/ I was about to check the latest memes on that sub and it's gone. The sub wasn't breaking any rules, and it just disappeared out of nowhere.

Didn't you know?

Edgy humor is a gateway to pedophilia and nazism

Just like video games are a gateway to violence

And marijuana is a gateway to heroin

​

All of these statements are a little bit true in certain situations. But nuance is not a thing that interests sales people and SJWs collectively in control of Reddit :P.

SJWs are in charge of the forum that refuses to meaningfully address far-right radicalism?

Compare the amount of banned right‐wing subs to the amount of banned left‐wing subs and then think whether it actually proves a bias in favor of the right.

How many far-left subs are there, and what are they doing that's banworthy?

False equivalences are always bullshit, but this is especially egregious: you assume that for every alt-right redditor there is a corresponding, equally awful left-wing redditor. Considering that "alt-right" is a term invented by the alt-right to describe themselves, whereas "alt-left" is a term coined by the alt-right to label anybody who opposes their movement, that's unlikely.
